Far From Home Numan Acar is Chameleon?

[Web-Head]

EXCLUSIVE: Turkish-born actor Numan Acar has come aboard Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man sequel, now titled Spider-Man: Far From Home, which has Tom Holland reprising his role as the teenage webslinger. Not much is known about Acar’s role, other than his character’s name is Dimitri. Sony declined to comment. He joins new castmember J.B. Smooth and potentially Jake Gyllenhaal, who is in talks to play the big baddie Mysterio.
Michael Keaton, Zendaya, and Marisa Tomei are also expected to return. Jon Watts is directing once again, from a script by Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna. Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal are producing the pic, which has a release date set for July 5, 2019.

This is the second big-budget feature that Acar has landed after being cast in Disney’s live-action Aladdin adaptation, also due out next year. He recently appeared in Nicolai Fuglsig’s 12 Strong, Terry George’s The Promise, and with Diane Kruger in the Golden Globe-winning film In The Fade.

He is repped by D2 Management.

He definitely looks like he could be Kraven's brother

The guy is the spitting image of Kraven and he's probably playing Chameleon. Funny how things work out.

The guy looks like Kraven but of course this could be one of many aliases the Chameleon uses as a face and body.

Feels weird having Chameleon and Mysterio.

It does feel weird but I like the idea of having different Villains than the previous movies. We've seen enough of the Green Goblin so adding Mysterio Vulture, Chamelon (maybe if that's whos Numan is playing) Shocker, and Scorpion was a welcome change.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I would love to see Doc Ock and a better, comic-book accurate Green Goblin. I think they'd be great villains for the third or fourth film.

 

[Marvel united]

Chamelon can't work as a S6 member. He'd be useless in a bug fight scene where they all attack Spidey

 

[Yowza]

Yeah, well Dr. Octopus would get his head taken off by a blunderbuster of a shotgun by a local redneck with a ponytail but I digress...

 

[The Joker]

I look at him and instantly thought Kraven.

This is true.

Unless they're Sandman, that goes for every member of the S6. Most Spidey villains actually can die by gun shot.

What's making people think he's playing Chameleon, out of curiosity? A little out of the loop on the news here.

Definitely seems like more of a Kraven.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

If Numan Acar is Chameleon, who should play Kraven?

I think the obvious choice is still Javier Bardem

 

[Silvermoth]

God I forgot about chameleon! Such a great villain and I’m sure he will work well with Mysterio

 

[Nardz937]

Any pics of him with short hair? I def can see him as Kraven.

Dimitri is Chameleons real name

Just feels a bit superfluous having both characters in the same movie.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, I'm skeptical they'd use both characters in the same flick too.

"Dmitri" is probably more likely to just be a random smokescreen name, no relation to the comic character. You'd have to figure hiring a guy that looks like that, Kraven's the thinking.

I forget, did they make much effort to conceal the Shocker guys last time, like the roles they were playing? Any fake names and stuff?

 

[Kane52630]

Man I've wanted Chameleon in live action for so long, if it's indeed true then count me happy.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

No one is gonna do this? Really? Just me?

Alright.

Hello... NUMAN.




Good night folks. Try the veal. Tip your waitress.

Why is it such a problem to have Chameleon and Mysterio? Because they are both known for screwing over Spider-Man in the eyes of the media? They seem like a natural duo to me.

 

[Mike Murdock]

The reason it feels superfluous is Mysterio's illusion powers lets him assume the appearance of others. Where does that leave the Chameleon?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Oh you loved it.

This is a good point. He can do everything Chameleon can do

 

[Toomes' Phone]

Mysterio hasn't always been depicted as being able to shapeshift or mimic appearances, it's often depended on the writer. If Chameleon is indeed in this, then he could fill that role.
