Trivia[]

  • J.K. Simmons, who portrayed Jameson in the Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy prior to this series, had expressed interest in reprising his role in future films had The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and beyond happened. Eventually, he appeared as an alternate J. Jonah Jameson in the 2019 film Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home, canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
  • A scene that was written and storyboarded, but never filmed, for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 would've had Jameson and Robbie Robertson appear in The Daily Bugle building during Spider-Man and Electro's final showdown, with the hero and villain crashing through the walls and wrecking the office, much to Jameson's loud disdain.
