Bruce Campbell, who we know was supposed to cameo as Mysterio in Spider-Man 4, could have already been Quentin Beck the entire time.
In Spider-Man 1, he is shown to be quite into theatrics. He's a wrestling announcer, for God's sake. He knows the name Human Spider is lame, and instead gives Peter the obvious name, Spider-Man. He dresses flashy, gives catchy aliases, and plays it up.
In Spider-Man 2, he is the snoody usher, which I know what you're thinking, "it's kind of a stretch that he's a wrestling announcer AND an usher, or went from one job to the other", but it's actually not. Quentin Beck could love theatrics so much that not only did he get a job as a wrestling announcer, he also got one as an usher to help "preserve the illusion" at plays. Yes, the biggest clue here is when he tells Peter he wants to preserve the illusion, as we all know Quentin Beck loves illusions.
In Spider-Man 3, which could be where this theory fails, we see Bruce Campbell cameo as a French waiter, but here's the thing: we all know that's a fake accent and mustache in real life, but what if it is in the movie? What if Quentin Beck is giving himself a test in either disguising himself, deceiving people, method acting, you name it. What if he disguised himself as a stereotypical French waiter and got a job at a fancy restaurant, taking up a whole new identity? Now if that isn't something you could see Mysterio doing as part of a complex plan or just a test of his own skill, then... I don't know where I was going with that.
Anyways, it is possible that Mysterio already existed in the Spider-Man universe, as a man who loves theatrics, and illusions. By the time we get to Spider-Man 4, for one reason or another he decides to use his skills as the highly-theatrical Mysterio, only to be easily defeated by Spider-Man, who he decides to be his new arch-nemesis.
This isn't anything important really, just a fun little thought. I don't know why Sam Raimi would deem Mysterio a joke character, yet dedicate a movie to Vulture. I think Bruce Campbell as Mysterio could've been the main antagonist, or at least secondary antagonist, of his own Spidey film.
Either way, what do you think of this little theory? It's not anything mind-blowing but I just think it's kind of interesting.
