Spider-Man: Far From Home Director Reveals Mysterio Deleted Scenes

True to his name, there’s much more to Spider-Man: Far From Home’s Mysterio than meets the eye. But there’s also more to his story than made it into the new Spidey film.

IGN spoke with director Jon Watts, who revealed key Mysterio deleted scenes that were cut from the movie for time. Keep reading to find out what they include, though beware, full Spider-Man: Far From Home spoilers lie ahead.

Despite Quentin Beck’s character being set up to be an older brother figure for Peter Parker for the first half of Far From Home, the characterization of Mysterio in the new movie ends up sticking pretty close to his comics origin. In the Marvel comics, Mysterio is a master of deception. It turns out here that Quentin wasn’t a good guy after all, and instead had long been plotting a sneaky way to convince Peter to hand over E.D.I.T.H. following Tony Stark’s death.

Disney’s Live-Action Mulan Remake Gets Spectacular And Action-Packed First Trailer

The first trailer for Mulan is here. It’s the latest live-action Disney adaptation of a classic animated movie, and stars Liu Yifei as the Chinese teenager who disguises herself as a man to fight in the Imperial army against invaders.

The trailer is visually stunning and suggests that, unlike recent Disney live-action movies such as Dumbo and Aladdin, Mulan will take a slightly different approach from the original. It’s not a direct adaptation of the 1993 animated movie, and also takes influence from the original 6th Century poem “The Legend of Mulan.” The trailer starts with quiet, domestic scenes of Mulan and her family before delivering some spectacular-looking martial arts action as Mulan takes up her place to fight in the Emperor’s army. Check it out below.

Mulan’s cast also includes a number of high profile Asian stars, such as Donnie Yen, Jet Li, and Gong Li. The movie is directed by New Zealand filmmaker Niki Caro, who previously helmed The Zookeeper’s Wife. Caro previously stated that this version of Mulan won’t include any songs–and presumably Eddie Murphy’s talking dragon Mushu will be absent too. It releases on March 27, 2020.

The next live-action Disney adaptation will be The Lion King, which hits theaters later this month. It’s directed by Jon Favreau, who previously helmed the recent hit remake of The Jungle Book–check out the latest Lion King trailer. Other Disney remakes in the works include Cruella, The Little Mermaid, and Pinnochio.

Spider-Man: Far From Home – How Marvel Kept THAT Cameo Secret

Full spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home continue below. Read on at your own risk!

Spider-Man: Far From Home ended by doing the unthinkable in two ways: 1. Spider-Man’s real identity was revealed to the entire world, and 2. the big Peter Parker reveal was done by none other than The Daily Bugle’s J. Jonah Jameson — who was played by none other than the Sam Raimi trilogy’s J. Jonah Jameson, J.K. Simmons.

The scene was kept so top secret that it was filmed what director Jon Watts describes as “very, very late” in the production, shot in a Disney Studios conference room with Simmons sitting at JJJ’s desk against a green screen backdrop. And despite Simmons walking the Far From Home premiere red carpet in Los Angeles, the cameo was kept a secret until the movie’s release, and is a big part of setting the MCU Spider-Man movies into uncharted territory (which is good, because Tom Holland has only one Spider-Man movie left in his current contract).

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT – Review and Benchmarks

The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. We can fully reveal the performance of AMD’s next-gen 7nm Navi GPU(s), and you can find out if it’s worth switching camps from Nvidia, or upgrading your older GPU. As a quick catch-up, this is the first GPU for AMD that uses an all-new architecture called RDNA, and it’s also the first midrange consumer GPU built on a 7nm process, so it’s quite a big deal. A second-generation (or third?) variant of this chip will be powering both next-gen consoles, so all eyes are on AMD here.

Though AMD announced that its new GPU was indeed faster than the RTX 2070 when it was unveiled at Computex, perennial Clever Girl Nvidia just released the RTX 2070 Super less than a week ago in order to ruin AMD’s launch plans. The fallout from that was a last minute price drop for the Radeon cards, though the Radeon GM tweeted it was all a big setup on their part, as they inflated the prices initially and Nvidia took the bait. We’ll never know if that really was the plan all along, but either way the GPU wars are officially back on in a very big way.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 – Review and Benchmarks

In addition to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, AMD is releasing a slightly neutered version simply dubbed the Radeon RX 5700. It sells for $349 and is going up against the similarly priced RTX 2060 non-Super. It’s a mid-high-end GPU aimed at 1440p gaming, like its more expensive sibling. It replaces the Radeon RX Vega 56 in the lineup, and is one of AMD”s all-new RDNA GPUs with the codename Navi. It was first announced at E3 2019 and also had its price lowered from $379 to $349 in a classic “switcheroo” if you believe AMD’s side of the story.
