Jake Gyllenhaal, a Mysterious New Super Hero in "Spider-Man: Far From Home"

Oscar-nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain, Velvet Buzzsaw) emerges as a new Super Hero, Quentin Beck / Mysterio, who is singularly equipped to deal with the enormous dangers posed by the Elemental Creatures, in Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Director Jon Watts says he wanted to bring the iconic character from the comics into the film in a way audiences weren’t expecting. “Mysterio is a fascinating villain in the comics, so depicting him here as a hero is definitely something we haven’t seen before. The idea of Spider-Man, Mysterio, and Nick Fury teaming up to take on this global menace was really exciting to us.”

Happy 90th Anniversary Kenkoy!

Back in the early Filipino komik era, there was a character that was loved because of his humor and charisma, he was Francisco Harabas also known as Kenkoy. Created by Romualdo Ramos and cartoonist and illustrator Tony Velasquez in 1929, the series features the comedic adventures of a pomade brushed up guy wearing over sized clothes and encounters a lot of slapstick moments that are hilarious and sometimes relevant even up to today.
Kenkoy became a mainstream hit as he appears in many publications. His popularity was also compared to other komik icons such as Darna, and Captain Barbell. He also has a beautiful wife named Rosing who looks more refined with her actions and fashion sense. Kenkoy also had influenced language because his lines were a mixture of Filipino, English,  and Spanish.
