The tweet below was among the very first, if not the first tweet with the story this morning:

@97fmRadiocity, a twitter account located out of Kampala, Uganda, East Africa, from the Africell Uganda network.
@97fmRadiocity with the scoop.
Another one of the first tweets with this pretty big news was from a site called "Celebretainment ":
Jake
Gyllenhaal is set to play villain Mysterio in the next 'Spider-Man' movie.
The
37-year-old actor has reportedly won the race to portray the antagonist
opposite Tom Holland who is returning as the webslinger in his second standalone
film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Gyllenhaal
was in competition with Ryan Gosling for the coveted part but the latter star
pulled out of the running due to a scheduling conflict with another project.
A
source told The Sun newspaper: "Producers were keen to sign Ryan but he
was busy filming another project. Jake is a suitable alternative with
experience of playing villainous characters."

Shooting
on the MCU blockbuster is due to begin in London in June.
June, huh? Well, supposedly Jake has been done filming the Untitled Dan Gilroy Project™ for awhile and since completion, has been strolling the Brooklyn Bridge, hanging out at the San Francisco airport, writing at cafe tables while his ice cream sundae melted in NYC, and then "spotted" furniture shopping before returning to LA (via jakebullshittingovereverybody Instagram ) , and collaborating with Cary Fukunaga on the Leonard Bernstein project.
Now, according to a Michelle Williams fan twitter site, Jake is supposed to be tied up with the movie formerly known as Rio, during the early summer:
Letterbox and IMDB are reporting that Michelle's next movie "RIO" will be called Let It Fall Back, slated for 2019, filming should begin between june and july #MichelleWilliams— Michelle WilliamsFan (@mwfanofficial) May 20, 2018
And according to Jake's IMBd, he's in the middle of a real mine field of film options - a veritable cornucopia of selections. Which to do today?
And if it isn't challenging enough trying to fit together the Filming Outlook Calendar for Jakers, trying to figure out which tweet has the real scoop is another opportunity:

Phew. I don't know about anyone else, but just reading a small block of tweets in Jaker's Spiderman timeline has me,
lol. So we'll see which project gets pushed aside to make room for which other project. Perhaps the hubs could share his Big Grid Family Organizer?? ;D
Stay tuned.
