Hannibal Buress is joining the cast of Sony and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

Tom Holland will play Peter Parker in the reboot with Marisa Tomei taking on Aunt May. Michael Keaton is also on board for the role of a villain. Other actors who have joined the cast over the last several weeks include Logan Marshall-Green, Donald Glover, Zendaya and Tony Revolori.

Sony and Marvel had no comment.

Jon Watts is on board to direct with Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige producing. Plot details are still being heavily guarded as is Buress’ character. “Vacation” directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein penned the script.

Production is expected to start this summer with the film hitting theaters on July 7, 2017.

Buress, a stand-up comedian, has recently shifted gears to film, with upcoming roles in some of next year’s more anticipated comedies. First he has “The Masterpiece,” opposite Dave and James Franco, which is a movie about the making of what is widely considered the worst film of all-time, “The Room.” He will follow that up with Dwayne Johnson’s reboot of “Baywatch,” which bows next summer. He also lent his voice to Illumination’s “The Secret Life of Pets.”

Buress is repped by WME and 3 Arts Entertainment.

Hannibal Buress Joins 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Posted Image

Donald Glover and Logan Marshall-Green boarded the film last week.

Comedian Hannibal Buress has joined Spider-Man: Homecoming in an undisclosed role, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The movie commences principal photography this week in Atlanta with Tom Holland playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man.


Jon Watts is directing.

Donald Glover and Logan Marshall-Green boarded the project last week, joining relative newcomers Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and J.J. Totah.

Buress is known to many as being the spark for the current Bill Cosby sexual assault scandal when he called the legendary entertainer a "rapist" during a comedy act. The act prompted a re-examination of Cosby's past behavior.

Buress recently wrapped Baywatch opposite Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron and does voice work in Illumination Entertainment and Universal’s upcoming animated film The Secret Life of Pets.

Donald Glover Joins 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Tom Holland is starring as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in a story that takes the character back to his high-school roots.

Donald Glover is in talks to join the cast of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Homecoming is Sony’s reboot of its Spider-Man franchise, which it has partnered with Marvel to produce, and the movie is due to begin production later this month.

Tom Holland is starring as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in a story that takes the character back to his high-school roots.

The project has been quietly casting up and the roll call includes Michael Keaton as a villain, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May and Zendaya as the female lead.

Also on board are Tony Revolori, who starred opposite Ralph Fiennes in The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Laura Harrier, who appeared on the soap opera One Life to Live. Robert Downey Jr. will appear as Tony Stark/Iron Man.

Details of Glover's character are being kept secret.

Amy Pascal and Marvel’s Kevin Feige are producing the project that has Jon Watts in the director’s chair.

The casting is a closing of a circle of sorts for Glover. When Sony was rebooting Spider-Man for what became 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, a vocal grassroots fan campaign emerged for him to star in it, with Glover even embracing the movement. The part went to Andrew Garfield, although Glover was able to partly fulfill his dream by voicing mixed-race Spider-Man Miles Morales on Disney XD’s animated series Ultimate Spider-Man.

Glover has proven to be a talent across multiple platforms. He is known as a rap artist working under the name Childish Gambino and was a writer on 30 Rock, joining that show at age 21. The actor also co-starred on the cult comedy Community and appeared in Magic Mike XXL as well as The Martian. He next stars in FX's Atlanta, a show he created and produces that will air this fall.

Glover is repped by WME, MGMT Entertainment and Ginsburg Daniels.

I'm thinking Donald would work as Hobie Brown, or the father of Miles Morales.

Who Will Donald Glover Portray in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'?

Posted Image

A few possibilities.

Spider-Man is going back to his roots with Sony's upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming, but he's not doing so alone. Donald Glover is in talks to join the cast of the reboot of Marvel's wall-crawling superhero, although his role remains under wraps.

Or … does it? In comic books, Spider-Man (like most superhero properties, sadly) has a particularly white cast. The possibility for race bending an existing comic book character for the screen is on the table, although given the furor that met Marvel's attempt to do so in this fall's Doctor Strange, the studio — which is co-producing the movie with Sony — could stay away from that option.

Glover's age, too, would seemingly limit things: At 32, he's got more than a decade on Tom Holland, the new cinematic Peter Parker, so it's unlikely he'd play a contemporary or classmate of the schoolkid superhero. But that arguably makes him too young to play any of the authority figures who traditionally cause trouble for Spider-Man, even pushing race out of the equation; as fun as it would be, Glover is arguably underage when it comes to bringing J. Jonah Jameson back to the screen, never mind Norman Osborn.

The most obvious option for Glover's character would be a villainous role, somewhere where Sony has previously shown a willingness to race bend — Electro, played by Jamie Foxx in 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, is traditionally white in the comics. But that is potentially complicated by the fact that Michael Keaton has been circling the villain role for the movie. So where does that leave Glover …? Here are some possibilities:

Hobie Brown

Posted Image

Hobie Brown, who first appeared in 1969's The Amazing Spider-Man No. 78, was an ersatz Spider-Man; a teen genius who adopted a costumed persona (the Prowler, a name that doesn't necessarily have the best connotations these days) for legally dubious reasons before ending up on the straight and narrow. In recent years, Brown has become a confidant of Peter Parker, and even filled in for him as Spider-Man on a number of occasions.

Robbie Robertson

Posted Image

While Glover might not seem like a J. Jonah Jameson, it's easy to imagine him as Robbie Robertson, the easy-going editor of the Daily Bugle who tempers Jameson's one-man crusade against Spider-Man while simultaneously acting as a mentor to Peter Parker in the ways of the world. Robertson first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man No. 52 (1967), and went on to become a regular presence in Spidey's comic books and spinoffs — he showed up in the 1981, 1994 and 2008 animated TV series based on the comics.

(If Robbie is considered too old for Glover, there's also Randy Robertson, Robbie's son and occasional castmember of the comic books.)

Max Modell

Posted Image

Should Marvel and Sony decide to go the race-bending route, here's a recent addition to the Spider-Man comic book supporting cast that might fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe easily: Max Modell, tech genius and founder of Horizon Labs, a start-up that wants to build off the ideas and innovations of its employees while also supporting and rewarding them fairly for their work. Debuting in 2011's The Amazing Spider-Man No. 648, Modell is almost the anti-Tony Stark: kind, generous and willing to overlook his employees and friends' strange habits — like running off in the middle of meetings to go fight crime — as he tries his hardest to make the lives better of everyone around him.

Ned Leeds

Posted Image

Another long-standing supporting character — he debuted in 1964's The Amazing Spider-Man No. 18 — Ned Leeds is a reporter at the Daily Bugle who remained a thorn in Peter Parker's side for a number of reasons, including a love triangle with a secretary who managed to be both too old for Peter and too young for Ned. Eventually, he met an unpleasant end, being brainwashed by a villain to be his fall guy, only to end up dead for his troubles … but that doesn't mean Ned couldn't live again on the big screen. (Hopefully with a better name, however.)

Miles Morales

Posted Image

Glover playing Marvel's other Spider-Man — he debuted in 2011's Ultimate End No. 4, replacing the dead Peter Parker in the role in Marvel's "Ultimate Universe" — has been mooted before; before Andrew Garfield was cast in what became 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, fandom was abuzz with the idea that Glover would bring Miles Morales to the big screen. (While that didn't happen, he did voice the character on Disney XD's Ultimate Spider-Man animated series.) In current comic book lore, Morales is the teen Spider-Man being mentored by an adult Peter Parker, but what's to stop that dynamic from being switched around for the cinematic reboot — especially as it would add another much-needed hero of color to the MCU?

Of course, it's possible that Sony and Marvel could be planning ahead, and installing Glover as Morales' dad, Jefferson, in order to set up the debut of a younger Miles in a future movie at some point.


Spider-Man: Homecoming is set to be released July 7, 2017. Whether or not Glover's role remains a secret all the way to that point is unknown, if unlikely.

Many are wondering about why I named my new top rogue Romana Wilson.

Naturally, Doctor Who fans would already know.

Romana Wilson is something of a dead ringer top actress Mary Tamm (RIP), the first actress to play Romana. In regards to Romana Wilson, she is a bit more exotic, as her ancestry includes Native American, German, & Indian. RW has a darker skin tone, hair down to her waist, being 5'9", and a very tone (yet curvy) 135 pounds.

I am still buzzing from my weekend with Romana Wilson.

It's good to be me.
You are a compassionate humanitarian, Doc Saul, as not many people would have embraced Ramona Wilson after that gender confirmation surgery he had. I commend you, Doc, and I hope the sex was all that you imagined it would be.
Nigga, pull your head outta Doc's jock strap, and come up for some air. :P
