\"\"<\/a>In case you’ve been wondering why in all the cast announcements for the upcoming Spider-Man<\/strong> reboot you haven’t seen an actor named to play Peter Parker’s cigar chomping boss, Daily Bugle<\/em> publisher J Jonah Jameson, it turns out that there’s a reason for that.<\/p>\n

It turns out that it isn’t because the production hasn’t cast the role yet so much as the character isn’t in the film. IGN<\/a> is reporting that there will be no J Jonah Jameson in at least this installment of Spider-Man<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So what does this mean to the film’s storyline? Well, Peter could still be working as a photographer for the Bugle, just not interacting with Jameson. From a real-world perspective that does make a certain amount sense. A freelancer would never, except under extraordinary circumstances, report directly to a publisher. There’s two or three intermediaries in the usual chain of command between the two. Of course, a freelancer repeatedly showing up with great pictures of the thing that probably sells the most papers on any given day may just get him a meeting with said publisher.<\/p>\n

The prospect that there will be no one yelling “Parker!” around the cigar clenched in their teeth is a bit disappointing though. I doubt that the character will be abandoned entirely from this new take on the franchise and we will probably see him in a sequel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
