This moment between Spider-Man and JK Simmons delights the Internet

At Citi Field in New York on Tuesday evening, the Mets team may have lost another game. But thanks to Spider-Man and JK Simmons, she at least won the funniest sequence of the evening.

Tuesday night, the New York Mets faced the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field. But on the giant screens of the New York stadium, the real show was not necessarily on the baseball field. Among the celebrities present in the stands was JK Simmons, who came to attend the match. Except that a surprise guest has decided to transform his evening: Spider-Man himself.

In a sequence broadcast by the SNY Mets channel and relayed by Clutch Pointsa fake Spider-Man appears behind the actor with a copy of the Daily Bugle by hand. A delightful reference for anyone who grew up with Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy, in which Simmons plays the irascible editor J. Jonah Jameson, obsessed with one thing: getting pictures of Spider-Man.

The actor of Whiplashwhich won him an Oscar in 2014, seemed rather amused by the scene. And he wasn’t the only personality of the evening. Bill Fagerbakke, voice of Patrick in Spongebobthrew him the first ball and announced the lineup of the Mets.

A big baseball fan, JK Simmons regularly supports the Detroit Tigers, his hometown team. He even played the Tigers manager in For Love of the Game with Kevin Costner.

On the other hand, on the field side, the atmosphere was less funny for the Mets. The team remained on four consecutive defeats before this second match against Cincinnati, with a worrying record of 22 victories for 32 defeats. (mbr)
