Speaking with Flicks and The City, Gyllenhaal said: “I follow one of the Elemental creatures through a rift in space continuum and find myself on another Earth trying to fight this creature.”

The actor continued: “And what I don’t know is that they sort of are expanding into different areas all over this Earth as they did on my Earth.

“I lost a lot on my Earth and sacrificed a lot fighting this one that led me to this Earth.

“[I] find Nick Fury in the midst of battling this creature and then we join up knowing that…we have a somewhat similar group of people on my Earth but different in a lot of different ways.

“Their variations on things and this Earth… and I join up and I meet Spider-Man and we have to fight these creatures as they appear and re-appear.”

At a fan event, Holland said: “Mysterio in this movie is actually my new best friend.

“We team up together to fight these Elemental creatures because when Thanos snapped his fingers, these creatures came through the dimensional rift.”

Whether this is true or not remains to be seen.

In the comics, Mysterio, aka, Quentin Beck is a former special-effects expert and stunt man.

He uses his skillset in a criminal capacity and creates illusions to trick Spider-Man into believing things that shouldn’t be true.

So it is possible he’s using these skills to trick Nick Fury.
