As anyone who has seen No Way Home will know, this is where the climatic battle in the third act took place.
A match up between these two would have been fascinating to watch.
However, given the amount of villains that were already in No Way Home, it is perhaps not surprising that the filmmakers chose to keep the total villains at five.

But this raises the intriguing prospect that maybe Mysterio didn’t meet his end during Far From Home.
Might we see him in future MCU films, such as In the Multiverse of Madness?
I am probably reading too much into this.
Time will tell.
