Spider-Man 3: No Way Home LEGO Set Includes Mysterio & Nick Fury... But Are They In the Movie?
With the MCU's current offerings paving the way for the multiverse, it is heavily expected that Sony and Marvel Studios' third installment in the Spider-Man franchise will bring together alternate versions of the webslinger's supporting cast and rogues gallery.
Rampant rumors have surrounded Spider-Man: No Way Home's development and production, with some suggesting that Willem Dafoe will reprise his role as the Green Goblin and others indicating that Rhino and the Lizard will return from the Amazing Spider-Man series. In regards to Sony's current on-screen villains, the studio reportedly does have a plan for how Peter Parker will interact with the likes of Venom and Kraven the Hunter.
One villain noticeably missing from the discussion is Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio, who was seemingly killed off in the final moments of Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Could a new LEGO set under the Spider-Man: No Way Home product line be teasing his return?
WILL NO WAY HOME INCLUDE MYSTERIO?
LEGO has revealed a new set under the Spider-Man: No Way Home marketing banner, titled 76184 "Spider-Man vs. Mysterio’s Drone Attack." The set comes with Spider-Man in his Far From Home suit, Nick Fury, Mysterio, and one of the villain's drones.
Despite being listed under the threequel's title, it seems that this product is actually based on Spider-Man: Far From Home. A graphic on the front notes that this set is "inspired by Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Far From Home."
This likely indicates that this set is not depicting a scene from the upcoming Spider-Man threequel, meaning that fans should not take this as evidence for Mysterio or Nick Fury making an appearance in No Way Home.
The track record for the accuracy of LEGO sets is also hit-and-miss, as they are frequently based on concept art shared early in the film's development.
An infamous example is the LEGO Iron Man 3 set 76008 "Iron Man vs. The Mandarin: Ultimate Showdown," which included The Mandarin in a small buggy going up against Tony Stark's Heartbreaker armor. Viewers of the film will know that this scene was never depicted on screen. Therefore, fans should temper their expectations in regard to the possible appearances of Mysterio and Nick Fury in No Way Home.
