Donald Glover As Miles Morales?
Screenrant shared their thoughts as to the possibility of Donald Glover taking on the role of Miles Morales. For those not familiar with Miles Morales, he is actually the apprentice of Spider-Man in the "Ultimate" universe of Marvel Comics.
The website pointed out that it would be quite questionable if Donald Glover takes a different role aside from Miles Morales. The talented actor has been associated with the role for so long, it would feel uncomfortable to see him portray another role.
However, Miles Morales was just a kid when he took Peter Parker's role as Spider-Man. Peter Parker was already a grown man when the title was passed on to the neophyte Miles Morales.
It is also important to note the line-up of young actors included in the cast of "Spider-Man: Homecoming." In fact, the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" will feature the superhero in his teens.
