One Spider-Man villain who hasn't been seen in a few years may be about to make a flashy re-entrance with What If...? season 3. Nobody's ever truly gone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is sure to make life insurance complicated. But it also allows for some surprise returns like (potentially) this, much to the delight of fans.

What If...? has already traversed the realms of possibility with its first 2 seasons. But if things go as rumors suggest, then no previous entry in the franchise is exempt from having its depths scraped for some returning content.

Fans were quick to speculate on what a Mysterio return could look like in such a series. One introduced the idea that his episode could cover what would happen if Peter Parker/Spider-Man never discovered Beck's plan to fake his way into being a superhero. Gyllenhaal's acting performance as Mysterio may have become a meta part of the role, as it might force Beck to continue his charade comedically so that Peter remains unaware.

«If true, it could be fun having a What If exploring what if Peter never found out Beck's plan. I feel like there could be some dark
