Hi Mister Explicit,

Trust me, actually, I really believe that Mysterio may have faked his death because the Quentin Beck who was shot by one of the Stark Industries Combat Drones was an illusion and the real Beck was never seen getting shot (yet Spider-Man may have checked his pulse to verify if he died or not). Indeed, I originally advocated to put his status as Unknown because he is the master of trickery, but as the admins decided for him to be dead until proven otherwise, I agreed with them. I am not annoyed at FireRing54 for liking to believe that Mysterio survived, I'm annoyed because he still insists on it after the admins have made the decision to keep him as deceased until a further installment proves otherwise.

And as you mentioned, I'm not assuring that Jon Watts is completely right that Mysterio died, I agree with him that he might not rule out his possible survival, but personally, while I love Mysterio, I want to accept that he's gone and that it's time for other villains from Spidey's rogues gallery to fill his place. Watts himself has said that he wants to use Kraven (yet unlikely due Sony developing an original film about him), yet perhaps he ends up using Mac Gargan due the mid-credits scene of Spider-Man: Homecoming (which would be very reasonable, as perhaps J. Jonah Jameson decides to transform Gargan into the Scorpion like in the comics to avenge Mysterio's death)

But as theorized by some fans, perhaps William Ginter Riva will now assume Mysterio's mantle. That would be interesting, but I don't work for Marvel Studios, so we can only prepare for what comes in Spider-Man 3...

Regards, X9
