During an interview at the convention, actors Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jacob Batalon revealed some information about the film. In it they talked a bit about the plot, revealing that Mysterio is actually an ally of the protagonists. The real villains, it seems, are the Elementals who Spider-Man and Mysterio team up to fight against:
It’s basically just about the kids going on a European vacation. We go to London, we go to Prague, we go everywhere. It’s just a really fun thing. There’s a lot of dynamics that go on. A lot of relationship stuff. A lot of cool funny stuff. A lot of fun stunt stuff. The main focus is for him not to be Spider-Man per se, but he gets dragged into it. But you know he reluctantly saves the world again with Mysterio. Mysterio’s a good guy in this, they’re both teaming up to kill the game, to defeat these Elemental monsters.
Jake Gyllenhaal continued, stating that Mysterio is someone who knows a lot about them and is determined to make Spider-Man into something more then he is:
Well there are these threats to the world, the Elemental creatures, and Mysterio is someone who knows abut them and who wants to make sure that the world is safe from them, and Nick Fury asks him to come on and help because he’s the only one who really understands them in a way. And he teams up with the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and unfortunately, he has to make him become more than just a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

From the look of things, we’re going to have an interesting dynamic between Spider-Man and Mysterio.
