“Spider-Man”: Watch JK Simmons audition as J. Jonah Jameson in Hero’s first film

J. Jonah Jameson is one of the most charismatic characters in the “Spider-Man” franchise and was immortalized by JK Simmons in the trilogy directed by Sam Raimi between 2002 and 2007.

No wonder the star was asked to reprise the role of Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Clarim in “Spider-Man: Far from Home“.

For those curious about how the star landed the role, a fan page on Twitter posted a rare video showing Simmons auditioning for the hero’s debut film.

The 42-second video shows the star reproducing Jameson’s signature speeches and gestures, still without the wig worn during the recordings.
