Before appearing in Spider-Man: Far From Home, JB Smoove actually appeared in an Audi commercial for Homecoming. In the Audi ad, JB Smoove plays a drivers ed instructor who joins Tom Holland’s Peter Parker for a test in Tony Stark’s Audi. The commercial was so well received, they cast JB Smoove in the sequel. During a set visit for Spider-Man: Far From Home, producer Eric Caroll revealed JB Smoove will be playing a Midtown School of Science and Technology teacher named Mr. Dell. JB Smoove’s Mr. Dell will be joining Peter Parker and the Midtown High students on their European summer trip:
“We’re also bringing back Martin Starr as the hapless Mr. Harrington. Together [with Mr. Dell], they constitute the least-capable group of chaperones ever to be sent to Europe with a bunch of kids.”
Producer Eric Caroll talked more about how Martin Starr’s Mr. Harrington and JB Smoove’s Mr. Dell will play off each other in the film:
“When we knew we wanted a teacher to be escorting these kids across Europe, he was our first choice. So, sure enough, now we’ve got these two as this amazing comedic pair showing these kids around Europe. Martin Starr, he’s like, ‘Okay, kids, there’s a water monster. So, maybe we’ll-‘, and then you’ve got J.B. Smoove doing the exact opposite. ‘Are you guys seeing this?!'”
