Donald Glover is Finally Playing Spider-Man

Gambino and Troy is Spiderman.......HOORAH

This is awesome. I any wait to see miles I'm action. Kinda wish they would have a series for just him.

Kind of crazy this comic event is so big it's crossing over into the cartoons.

Miles and Peter in the mooooorning!

I think it is better Disney makes Ultimate Spidey cartoon with Miles Morales as leading role and takes Avengers EMH approach. I don't really like Avengers Assemble, Ultimate Spidey and Hulk Agents of SMASH on disney XD

Wanted live action but I'll settle for this.

:)

I don't watch any of the Marvel cartoons but I'll watch this for Glover.

Good.
Nice casting and i love how he looks on screen.Never been a huge fan of the character,but this is interesting.

Cool! I should probably start watching this show. It's on netflix I think...

I approve of this idea.

Best Decision Ever.

so his mom and dad would be mad if he were dead.....so this ISN'T 1610 Miles

It says the video is unavailable for me.

But anyway...

"Couldn't see me as Spider-Man, but now I'm spittin' Venom."

I wonder how Peter will react to finding out he died in the other universe

That, or Miles hasn't reached that part in his story yet in the cartoon.

maybe

Cool.

ok... for some reason i can't see the video, it says that the video is currently unavailable bla bla bla. does anyone know if it has been uploaded to youtube?

not yet

thats actually pretty cool..im not a huge spiderman fan but marvel is finally doing something different and new when it comes to Spiderman and who better then Donald Glover.

I knew this was going to happen.

Or the show took creative liberties. Like they did with ultimate spider-man in general. I would be very surprised if they followed the comics even with the spiderverse characters. It's cool they are including these spidermen though. Not an over all fan of the show, but i give credit when when it's due.

I will at the very least watch the fight scenes

I'm cool with it

I think at least a few of them of are strictly animated versions...like the Iron Spider is Amadeus Cho and I'm pretty sure that the Noir looking one is actually Slinger from the Avengers Assemble episode where Thor went to an alternate universe

Awesome!

This is good news.

"Yeah, Gambino is a mastermind."

Wicked!

Hated Ultimate Spider-Man. But this looks a hell lot better. I'm looking forward to Donald Glover's performance as Miles Morales. Maybe this could get Marvel to do their Spider-Man movie with Glover in the role. Does Marvel own the rights to Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales) or is that also owned by Sony (we don't know shit about this character) studios?

It's on USA Today, just search the article.

All of the yes!!!

I like the idea of him playing Miles Morales IN AN ANIMATED SERIES. If they ever did the character in a live action setting, I want the 13 year old (now 15 I think) version of the character, not a 20 something. It creates a much different dynamic. I just hope if they ever do it, they don't use Jaden Smith.

@inferiorego:

It is now

Yay! I liked Donald Glover on Community.

@mugsyog: Who is troy playing?

Okay I can't wait for this now. Spider-Men!!!

My only complaint about his performance is he's stuttering too much. I get it's a freaky situation, but it's kinda awkward.

This is going to be good I can feel it in my spider sense.

Now all we need is a Shaft movie with Michael Cera and everything will be perfect

This is a surprised. Never cared for the spiderman shows, but ill give this a look. Thought Glover was done with this stuff to focus on music. Glad he is doing both.

This actually looks pretty decent. If i still had XD i would give it a shot. Maybe when it comes on Netflix.

Does the world really need two spiderman shows at once?

Though it seems watchable.

YES! YES!! YES!!!! Now do a spin-off! He's really , really good in the part. And I'd love an adaption of Miles Morales Spidey! I really hope they do this as a series after the final season of Ultimate, or at least revisit him a few times. For a series I'd start with the Death of Spider-Man and go from there.

@commandershiro - It's cause he's trying not to mention the D-word.

I may actually have to watch this. Miles is my Spider-Man!

@frozenedge: or a Lone Ranger Movie with Johnny Depp as Tonto. Or a movie called Last Samurai starring Tom Cruise. Or A Batman Movie where Bruce Wayne is played by an Englishman...OOOOH Or how about do a movie about Cleopatra but let's have Elizabeth Taylor play her. These are all gold ideas, let's keep pitching.

Kind awesome that they're not putting if off that Peter is dead in Mile's universe. Thought they were going to ignore that.

Here are my thoughts:

Wait a minute.....you mean to tell that the ULTIMATE SPIDER MAN SHOW WASNT ALREADY SET IN THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE!? WTF
