The Premier Source For All Things Spider-Man
Actor, writer, comedian and musician Donald Glover has joined the cast of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Deadline reports. Unfortunately who he is playing is being kept under wraps at the moment.
Spider-Man: Homecoming stars Tom Holland and hits theaters on July 7th, 2017. It begins shooting later this month in Atlanta, Georgia.
Any guesses as to who Donald Glover could be playing? Let me know in the comments below.

Maybe Miles Morales??
Isn’t he too old to be Miles Morales? Plus, we’re just now re-establishing the Spider-verse. I’m not sure I’m ready to jump into Miles or Spider-Gwen or Silk just yet.
i know idiots arent spouting miles morales do you know how old miles is ? He aint that old
Flash? Harry Osborne? Robbie Robertson? EDDIE BROCK???!!!!!!
He’s OBVIOUSLY Miles Morales. LOL It could be a coincidence. But I bet with him being fancasted so hard for either Miles or a black Peter Parker a few years ago, it helped him get whatever role he’s going to have in this movie.
Ok so a lot of rumours going around that this film could incorporate the ‘spider-verse’ concept (different dimensions and versions of spiderman etc). Given this, it’s very possible that Glover could make a unique appearance as an older Miles Morales while keeping a young Morales available for the future.
Also, by it’s definition ‘Homecoming’ means alumni being welcomed back as part of an event and although this could refer to marvel regaining the spiderman rights and the fact that it will focus on a highschool peter parker, it’s hard not to think that the title could be a massive clue to a few big suprises… Imagine a spider-verse film where variations of the character have all been dragged into the MCU from different (comic inspired/cinematic) universes –
Toby Maguire Spiderman – The mature/mentor spidey, the others look up to him but also poke fun at him. He’s efficient, organised, a genius and unashamedly very introverted. Takes more of a strategy/planning/comms role (oracle) and only suits up when absolutely necessary, but when he does it is absolutely majestic, strongest of them all and awe inspiring for the others.
Andrew Garfield Spiderman – Ruthless, super confident but strictly serious and professional/ darker spidey (because of gwen’s death) He’s the cool older brother archetype with an almost military attitude and an icey heart. Get’s annoyed by the other’s immaturity and care-free attitudes.
Miles Morales Spiderman – Smart, skilled, cockey, (verging on arrogant but unquestionably good-hearted). He’s been spiderman a lot longer than MCU spidey but he still has a lot to learn. Their similarities could be the basis of a humorous rivalry-themed friendship where they’re always trying to out do each other. Seeing as this version of Morales is from another dimension, a younger Miles could be established in the MCU’s future.
Spiderman 2099 – The unfathomably awesome one, his insanely cool futuristic abilities would steel the show and leave the others speechless… he doesn’t make a big deal out of it though. He’s resourceful and weird-funny. He eventually starts to enjoy being in the past after much frustration. His future-based backstory could have relevance on the story.
Spider-Woman/Gwen Stacey – From a universe where gwen was bitten by the spider. Smart, confident, tough and takes no shit. She’s exciting and good-hearted, the others confide in her but she also has her demons. She melts Garfield-spidey’s heart and they fall in love (cos he bloody deserves it) though they both initially tried to fight it.
MCU Spiderman – Tom Holland, the rookie and quintessential spider-man. His central story of learning how to become spiderman would draw from the other characters. He’d start off relatively in-experienced and not confident but events would culminate in him saving the others via the knowledge, guidance and experiences the others have given him.
