Meet Spider-Man’s newest foe: Jake Gyllenhaal joined Instagram on Wednesday with a post teasing his role in the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Gyllenhaal has long been reported to be playing the classic Spider-Man baddie Mysterio, but Wednesday’s post is his first official confirmation. He stars opposite Tom Holland in Far From Home, which follows Peter Parker and his classmates as they head overseas for a trip.

Several characters have taken on the Mysterio title in Marvel comics over the years, but the most well-known version is the original Quentin Beck, a Hollywood stuntman and special effects artist turned criminal mastermind. He made his debut back in 1964 as a shifty villain facing off against Peter Parker.
