Donald Glover gets his hand at Spiderman Movie spin off
Donald Glover is diving into the ultra-lucrative film franchise character Spider-Man, albeit in the most unexpected way.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Glover is marrying his mastery of films and music to bring to life the obscure “Spider-Man” comic outlaw named Hypo-Hustler.
Glover will introduce urbanites to the character Antoine Delsoin, the leader of a band called the Mercy Killers, in the yet-to-be-named Spider-Man film. Delsoin uses hypnosis technology embedded in his instruments on his victims to rob them.
The name “Glover” has been associated with the Spider-Man universe for over 10 years now. The fans were clamoring for the “Atlanta” creator and star to portray the webbed wonder in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, but that part went to Andrew Garfield. Glover, however, did provide the voice to Spider-Man/Miles Morales in the Disney XD series “Ultimate Spider-Man” in 2015. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Homecoming featured a brief cameo by the actor.
Myles Murphy, the son of legendary comedic actor Eddie Murphy, has been hired to write the script for another intriguing iteration of Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man universe of Marvel Comics characters.
