A few months ago, the actor started an online campaign to gain support for him to get the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Thankfully, he failed. In the following interview, Glover talks more about that failure and reveals that he was never actually contacted by anyone from Sony.
On Whether He Was Upset That Andrew Garfield Got The Part:
"No, not at all. I think he fits pretty good. I think he fits the role really well and I’m really excited. I’m upset about people saying, 'Donald, you too old.' And I’m like, 'Andrew Garfield’s older than me and nobody was upset.' But I’m not upset about the choice, I think it’s going to be great, honestly. I’m just mad at hypocrites in general."
On Whether Sony Or Marc Webb Ever Contacted Him:
"No, it was never really a thing. I think they had heard about it, but it was never really one of those things. You don’t want to get, like, forced into a position or anything like that. I was very flattered by everybody being behind me and everybody supporting me. That was really cool, but I never really wanted to force anybody’s hands or anything like that. They’re a big corporation. They can make their own decisions about what they want to do, and it’s their money."
On Whether He'd Like To Play Another Superhero In Future:
"But it definitely got me thinking, if people want me to play a superhero, maybe I should try and get involved in a superhero thing."
