Subject: [Sndbox] Simmons Talks Spidey 2Simmons Talks Spidey 2J.K. Simmons, who reprises the role of J. Jonah Jameson in the upcoming sequel film Spider-Man 2, told SCI FI Wire that he gets a bit more to do in the second movie based on Marvel Comics' most famous superhero. "A little more than the first one, I think," Simmons said in an interview. "At least we shot a little more. ... More fun wacky stuff in the office, and I actually even get to step out of the office a couple of times in this one. ... And there's at least one very fun twist involving my character."
As in the first Spidey movie, Simmons plays the irritable flat-topped editor of the Daily Bugle and the only man in New York who thinks Spider-Man is a menace to society. "[I] yell. Scream. Belittle people," Simmons said. "Be generally curmudgeonly and unpleasant, although, as always, with a heart of gold, really, underneath it all. There's a lot of very funny stuff like we did with the first one. We had a good script to start with, but we also came up with a lot of it on our own, [director] Sam [Raimi] and [star] Toby [Maguire] and I and the rest of the cast."
But Simmons remained coy about the sequel's top-secret story, which takes place a few years after the events of the first movie and introduces a new villain, Doctor Octopus, played by Alfred Molina. "He's the new bad guy, and he's great," Simmons said. "[And] Peter Parker's love life gets a little complicated." Spider-Man 2 opens July 2.
