What Happens in Spider-Man: Far From Home's Midscredits Scene?

The first scene takes place immediately after the film ends, which is in the middle of Peter and MJ's web-slinging ride through Manhattan. Mary Jane is rightfully screaming for her life as Peter gleefully slings her around the city before they touch down on the sidewalk in front of Madison Square Garden because Peter has to get going. Before the two part, a news broadcast lights up the digital billboard behind them with breaking news. The reporter reveals that a local newspaper has picked up a story about Spider-Man and the broadcast switches to the one and only John Jonah Jameson of the Daily Bugle, played by JK Simmons. (Cue massive cheers from fans, because this is all we've ever wanted.)

The video reveals that before his death, Mysterio sent out a recording putting the blame for the drone attacks in London on Spider-Man, with the video showing the moment Peter commands EDITH to "kill them all," which viewers are unaware is actually a command to kill the drones poised to attack London per Mysterio's plans. Mysterio then reveals that Spider-Man is really Peter Parker, who Jameson conveniently has a school photo of ready for all to get a good look at his face. Peter cries out in horror as MJ looks on in shock.

In case you're wondering, Peter's identity is rarely revealed to those outside his circle of close friends (except for his voluntary unmasking during the Civil War storyline), so this is a different route for Marvel to take with this iteration! It's somewhat reminiscent of Tony Stark's reveal in Iron Man, except Tony did that willingly. Plus, Peter's been exposed AND framed, which means it'll be doubly impossible for him to work in the Spidey suit in the near future.

Not only will he be facing the legal ramifications of Msyterio framing him for attacking the world with Tony's drones (which will definitely be a point of contention since Tony's tech has long been a point of issue for the government in the MCU), but with his identity revealed, the people around him are instantly in danger. We can't imagine he's going to be having an easy time in the future.
