Funny man! Jake Gyllenhaal showed off his comedic skills in an Instagram video on Tuesday, May 7. The actor posted a hilarious spoof video where he parodies a first look at his upcoming Broadway play, Sea Wall/A Life, and his film Spider Man: Far From Home, where he plays Mysterio.

“Mysterio goes to Broadway!,” the 38-year-old captioned the video, which shows him wearing his Marvel character’s bubble helmet, “Tickets: SeaWallALife.com #SpiderManFarFromHome #SeaWallALife #Mashup #earth833.”

If his get-up wasn’t enough in itself, Gyllenhaal is seen performing his lines from the play in a serious manner alongside costar Tom Sturridge whole the Spider-Man theme plays. “My dad used to be up on the top floor of the house,” “I feel like peeling open my ribs and asking her to marry me all over again,” are some of the lines that the Velvet Buzzsaw actor recites in the new trailer.

While the two projects seem unrelated, fans can’t help but wonder if Gyllenhaal is teasing some sort of collaboration. “My two most anticipated performances for this summer colliding I love it,” one commenter wrote. “Ok, now I need to reset my brain. Mysterio goes Broadway. I’m dead 🤪😂👍” another posted.
