Quentin Beck, also known as Mysterio, was intended to be a minor antagonist in Sam Rami's cancelled film Spider-Man 4.
He was intended to be portrayed by Bruce Campbell.
Biography[]
Mysterio's role in the film was intended to be minor, only appearing in a scene where Spider-Man delivers him, already beaten and captured, to the police department after a string of robberies and assaults using theatrics. As the police unmask Mysterio and laugh at him, he swears revenge on Spider-Man.
He was intended to be portrayed by Bruce Campbell, as a part of a running joke from the film series where the actor appeared in every film as a different character. Before the release of 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home (which featured a version of Mysterio), Campbell confirmed that he was going to appear in Spider-Man 4 as Mysterio before the film was cancelled due to Spider-Man 3's mixed reception.
