Spider-Man: Far from Home has been praised for giving us a comic-accurate Mysterio, but even the promo material is drawing inspiration from the comics. Just in, Empire had revealed their new cover for Far from Home, and it looks like a recreation of a classic comic cover.

The comic it actually draws inspiration from is The Amazing Spider-Man #311, and though producers and the trailers have been making Mysterio look to be one of the heroes, anyone who's been following the comics knows that he's definitely a bad guy—if not one of the most notorious in Spider-Man's rogues gallery.
What everyone guesses is that the Elementals were Mysterio's doing this whole time, and that Quentin Beck came up with them in order to gain some fame and fortune. With Beck also spouting some multiverse jargon to Peter Parker, you could guess that he was into sci-fi films—a character trait you could assign someone who works on special effects for movies, which was Beck's origin in the comics.
Of course, I would be happy if the film gave us something nobody could predict, but I'm sure fans would love it if they stayed true to his character. I mean, the Mandarin twist from Iron Man 3 was something that caught everyone off guard, but a lot of people hated how it didn't stay true to the character in the comics. I think the film could still do well even if people saw the Mysterio twist from a mile away as long as they make him interesting enough.
