Jake Gyllenhaaldoesn’t have the titular role in the upcomingSpider-Manfilm, but that didn’t stop the actor from practicing his superhero moves when he thought nobody was watching.
However, as he moved across the hotel room, he stumbled across Gyllenhaal, who will beplaying villain Mysterio, pretending to shoot webs out of his hands in the bathroom mirror.
“Jake, what are you doing?” Holland asks, laughing at his costar.

Downplaying what he was caught doing, Gyllenhaal responds, “Just drying my hands,” and immediately moves to shut the door.
“Okay,” Holland replies, clearly not convinced.
Just days earlier, Gyllenhaal, 37, confirmed he is starring in the upcomingSpider-Man: Far From Home. In hisfirst-ever post on Instagram, the actor shared a video of himself holding up a Spider-Man comic book titledThe Return of the Man Called Mysterio!
“Whoa,” the actor says in the clip. “What the f—!”
He cheekily wrote in the caption, “I just realized I’m not playing Spider-Man.”
The upcoming sequel follows Holland’s Peter Parker and his classmates as they head to Europe for a trip where he finds himself trying to save his friends from Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio, who is also known as Quentin Beck.
Gyllenhaal spoke toEntertainment Weeklyin October andteased a little bit about his role in the film.
“I would say, with Jon Watts who directed the movie, what makes this installment of that franchise so great is that there is an intimacy to it,” he said at the time. “And there is a sense of the scenes, with the casting in particular and also the storytelling, that you feel that you’re actually in the movie with human beings in it. That’s what it feels like when you’re working.”
Spider-Man: Far From Homeis set to hit theaters in July 2019.
