SPIDER-MAN: 31 Year Old Donald Glover Is Done Campaigning To Play 14 Year Old 'Miles Morales'

Back in 2010, Donald Glover campaigned hard for the role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man. Sony took no notice, but his name has come up a number of times in regards to playing Miles Morales. With a Marvel Studios reboot on the way though, Glover is done campaigning...

Donald Glover has been a fan-favourite choice to play Spider-Man for years now, with even The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield even backing him to one day take over the role. While there's every chance that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures will turn to him to play Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War and the 2017 reboot, a lot of fans are rooting for him to take on the role of Miles Morales (despite being years too old). He does voice the character on TV though.
 
When Yahoo! Movies caught up with the Community star, they asked him to weigh in on whether or not he's still interested in playing Spider-Man. "Of course, I would always be honored to play Spider-Man," he said. "But I just want the Spider-Man movie to be dope, that’s all I want." As for his intentions to campaing for the role again, he added: "I’m leaving it to them. Campaigning’s part of life, but for me, I’ve got a lot of stuff that I’m really excited about, and dropping it all… of course it’d be an honor. But it’s fine, if it comes, if not." What do you think of these comments?

Glover should be Venom. He's perfect for Venom.

I don't know, Marvel is going for a younger Peter Parker and it would be pretty weird seeing Miles being as old or older than good ole Pete.

This video just proves...no...he shouldn't be Miles nor should he have been

Back in 2011 I would've loved Glover to have been cast, but he deserves better than a Sony Spider-Man movie.

damn, who would have thought that geeks could be such racist pieces of shit...I guess if you choose Marky Mark as your Avatar (a celebrity that was convicted f a hate crime), what else could we expect.
do bad cowards like you guys only post stuff online instead of saying anything in real life to peoples faces.

I think the 'Not an Icon' argument doesn't hold up. Does a superhero have to be an icon before being allowed to be in a movie? Guardians of the galaxy anyone?

@Reasonnnn @DarkeyeZ WTF are you guys even talking about? We can't go 10 comments without someone lying and calling someone else a racist for no apparent reason.

Lol @ the title, spelling out why Glover is too old to play Morales.

Not only that, but doing Miles before Parker just doesn't make much sense to me. Let's have a movie that does Peter Parker justice, and THEN focus on the passing of the mantle stuff later on.

Plus, Marvel seems like they want to go the younger route with the character, so let's not retread the same ground as the TASM movies and have 30 year old actors portraying teens. Enough already.

@themidnightking That was mine, but it didn't have the video interview w/ Yahoo and it didn't explain Glover's position on the matter very well.
