In a recent interview with USA Today, the 30 year old actor talked about how it felt to take on the role of Miles Morales in season three of Ultimate Spider-Man, "I don't think it's hit me necessarily yet how big of a deal that is, I'm very grateful for that, and it's cool to read the comic now." He then discusses his character adjusting to his powers, and how they will affect his life in general. "He's a kid you can root for, and you want good things for, who suffered some loss of his own, and we're seeing him come to terms with his new powers and how to use them." More at the link below.

"I still have hopes to do something like that one day. I don't look at this as second place. Spider-Man, he's such an icon — you have to do something with him." - Donald Glover On Miles.



Ultimate Spider-Man (re-titled Ultimate Spider-Man: Web-Warriors for the third season) is an American animated television series based on the Spider-Man comics published by Marvel Comics, including some elements of Marvel's Ultimate line of books. The series is written by Brian Michael Bendis (who also writes the comic book series Ultimate Spider-Man), Paul Dini, and Man of Action (a group consisting of Steven T. Seagle, Joe Kelly, Joe Casey, and Duncan Rouleau). It was first announced to air on Disney XD in early 2012,and debuted alongside The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes's second season as part of the Marvel Universe programming block on April 1, 2012.

Should be cool, he's 31 though, he's getting too old to play Miles in a live-action movie....

TASM franchise is horrible for so many reasons, Garfield is also going to be 35 by the time TASM 3 comes out....

Ultimate Spiderman has a few gem episodes like the Deadpool one. But the majority of it just appeals to a younger audience. My nephews love this show.

Heh... He's old as fudge already :/
Miles was a kid. He was like Robin-Spider-Man. He has to be young. Either 15, or 16. Too late D:

Ha, being stalked by Spike is more welcoming than off-putting in my book.

Congrats to him. He's been wanting to play SM before. Now he at least gets a chance to voice him.

They actually referenced this on Community. The first time we see Glover in season two, he is wearing Spidey pajamas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFu4CYUGhW8

If he did play Miles it would have to be an older one yea, I heard Marvel put some money on the table to Sony for Spidey.... or i wonder can they just use Miles in the MCU....
