Donald Glover Talks About The Possibility of Being the New Spider-Man

Fans of writer/producer/actor/rapper Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) will remember that back before The Amazing Spider-Man came out, there was a fan campaign on Twitter for Sony to cast Glover in the lead role, with the hashtag #Donald4SpiderMan trending like crazy. He never got the chance to play his favorite superhero in live action, but Glover has since provided the voice of Miles Morales on an animated Spider-Man TV series. Now that Spider-Man will be appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though, the studio is going to have to recast again and there's a recent rumor that says that Spidey won't be a white guy this time.

Yahoo Movies sat down with Glover to talk about his new low budget horror film The Lazarus Effect, and they asked him about the possibility of playing Spider-Man in the new movies. Glover, who was even more laconic than usual, didn't seem to think it was in the cards, but admitted that he'd do it if he was approached. He is pretty busy putting out Grammy-nominated rap albums and prepping his own FX TV series, though. Do you still want to see him in the role of Miles Morales (or even a black Peter Parker)?
