, the 38-year-old Oscar nominee who has a wildly eclectic body of work but somehow managed to avoid the now-pervasive superhero genre until Gyllenhaal portrays the cryptic character called Mysterio, who presents himself to Peter Parker as the worldly survivor and heroic refuge who has arrived from a different dimension. Gyllenhaal, with a chuckle, says had no problem connecting with the fish-out-of-water aspects of his character’s alienated backstory.
“I was thrown for a loop when I first got to the set and we started filming,” Gyllenhaal said. “The way Marvel makes movies is something I wasn’t fully prepared to handle. At the beginning I was really wondering what I had got myself into.
“It’s a high-risk, high-reward approach and they’ve made an art out of it,” Gyllenhaal said. “It starts with [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige and his command of the material. He understands the [Marvel Comics source material] so well and trusts his instincts in the moment. But it’s different than the filmmaking approach I know.”
Gyllenhaal isn’t the first veteran actor to be vexed by the high-wire approach of the Marvel method. Hugo Weaving was so flummoxed by the make-it-up-as-we-go approach on the firstfilm he abandoned the Red Skull role and promising himself he would never do another Marvel project. Jeff Bridges was equally stressed out onuntil he embraced a zen-like view of the job: “I just told myself to think of it as the world’s most expensive student film and then everything was cool.
