Donald Glover will star in and producer a Spider-Man villain movie about the obscure comics character Hypno-Hustler. Myles Murphy, son of Eddie Murphy, is set to write the script
Donald Glover is set to star as Spider-Man villain Hypno-Hustler in a film that he will be producing for Sony. Sony has been attempting to build a movie universe that revolves around many of Spider-Man's villains, including Morbius, Venom, Kraven the Hunter, and even little-known villains like El Muerto. So far, the universe has been a mixed bag with Venom earning acclaim from audiences, while Morbius was a box office flop that earned widespread ridicule.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now,The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the next upcoming iteration of the Sony's Spider-Man universe will be Hypno-Hustler, with Glover set to star and produce. Glover has appeared in a Spider-Man movie before, appearing in Spider-Man: Homecoming as Aaron Davis, the uncle of fellow Spider-Man Miles Morales. He also voiced Miles Morales in Ultimate Spider-Man. This will be his first major live-action role within the web-slinger's universe.
Still, it will be difficult to create a complex story centering around a villain like Hypno-Hustler. While comic book movies have begun embracing comic book aesthetics more, Hypno-Hustler is particularly difficult and is very obviously a relic of the 1970s disco scene. If the movie embraces the ridiculous nature of the character, it could be brilliant, but trying to play Hypno-Hustler straight might be painful.
Will Donald Glover Return To The MCU? While Morbius' post-credits scene introduced the Vulture to the Spider-Man villain universe, there are still few ties between Sony's universe and the MCU. After all, their stories are largely separated and are only ever linked through cameo appearances and a few one-off jokes. Should Marvel introduce Miles Morales, there is no reason that Glover couldn't still appear as the Prowler.
