Cobie Smulders Confirms Her Role In ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’

Cobie Smulders has officially confirmed her role in the highly-anticipated Spider-Man sequel starring Tom Holland.

The actress was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote the second season of Friends from College when she confirmed her return as SHIELD Agent Maria Hill in Spider-Man: Far From Home. While the character was last seen turning to dust after Thanos’ infamous snap in Avengers: Infinity War, Smulders’ return may not come as a surprise to fans who followed the production as the actress was spotted on set of the sequel’s production.

Smulders confirmed her return as Maria Hill when asked point-blank whether or not she would appear in the new Spider-Man film:

“Yes. That’s out there! I can’t tell you what’s happening in it, but yeah. I love the preciousness of all of this. It’s so magical, but we don’t want to ruin anything for anyone.”

You can check out the interview with Smulders in the video below.

Details on the plot are currently under wraps, though the film will follow Peter Parker as he joins his friends on a summer vacation in Europe and reportedly stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio. Introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #13, the most well-known incarnation of Mysterio is a special effects wizard named Quentin Beck and the character has been a frequent foe for the web-head since his debut.

Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Far From Home stars Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, Martin Starr, Numan Acar, J.B. Smoove, Oli Hill, Remy Hii, Marisa Tomei, Michael Keaton, Cobie Smulders, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

Spider-Man: Far From Home will be released in theaters on July 5, 2019. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
