WHY

This seems like a waste of Jake Gyllenhaal, but whatever: he's not going to go hungry without a sweet Marvel multi-picture deal. According to LaineyGossip, Gyllenhaal has signed up to play Mysterio, the villain in the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel. Clearly, the man has unusual taste in roles, but I simply don't understand why anyone would hide that face underneath a... fishbowl? (Does Mysterio fight under water? Because that seems like a really impractical way to hide his identity.)
