He has the acting chops and great comedic timing, however he challenges the Spidey Mythos because Donald's Black.
But is that an issue? To some, no. There are campaigns to make this a reality:
A post on Glover's website IAmDonald.com says: "I'm putting myself in the running for the Spiderman reboot. I'm actually quite interested to see how far this goes. If this happens, I'll buy each and every one of you a mini cooper."
And a post on his reported Twitterfeed MrDonaldGlover said: "@io9 wrote a post about casting a non-white #Spiderman for the reboot. some1 suggested @MrDonaldGlover. I agree with this." Minutes later was posted: "You guys are awesome! Retweet. Someone start a facebook page."
Aye-aye, potential Spidey. The Facebook page created by Michelle Vargas soon had more than 3,500 supporters.
And the issue is still growing, causing some interesting discussions out there. Even the Marvel God, Stan Lee put in his two cents.
Please listen:
We all know Spidey is white, like we know Storm is Black or African. If his race was changed, would that change everything?
I know it would be different if Storm was a Latina in the movies. To me, that character wouldn't be the Storm I know. So I'm not completely sure where I stand on this. If it's minor characters, I can see it, but major ones, I'm not so sure.
Still processing
