Were they going to make Spider-Man Black?


For a while there were rumors that the new spiderman was gonna be black. I was like 'ridiculous' they JUST rebooted spiderman! And they already want a new one.

Nothing to do with getting a black guy. But the idea excited me. Something new. Everyone can agree that the 'amazing' spiderman sucked. Toby was the best SPM and the best SPM movie is SPM 2.

The 'amazing' reboots were just so that sony can keep the rights lol.

No offence to Tom Holland, he did a good job in Civil War. But I feel like 'oh they got another British guy' A change in the casting would have shaken things up. Would have been interesting to have a black SPM. Maybe tackle some racism too.

I feel like it was a cop out. This time SPM is white as always, but everyone else has a tan lol. He has an Asian best friend. He is crushing on a black girl. The sarcastic smart girl is black as well. And they got a Latino to play one of the bullies I guess. Like we'll make everyone else a minority but spm will remain white as the snow. lol

There was a time when Donald Glover was considered for a role (Miles Morales). I believe that is still happening but as an animated TV show.


I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. https://youtu.be/wi3hjpI6r_0

A new cartoon version would be amazing. I loved the ninties animation. A couple of my favorite storylines were when Spiderman lost Mary Jane only to find out it was a clone and having to travel many different dimensions to find her. Another was Michael Morpheus vampire episodes. It really helped me get aquainted with the characters and comic storylines
