Donald Glover To Star & Produce Spider-Man Movie Based On Villain Hypno-Hustler

[SpiderS]

From all the Sony Projects this actually can work because it has a chance of being a decent comedy thanks to Glover if he will gather effort as he did for Atlanta and his other projects. So it can be a fun comedy movie that happens to be connected to Spider-Man, at least it makes more sense than Bad bunny's El Muerto project.

Had it been anyone other than Donald Glover I'd have said no freaking way! But, since it's him and I dig almost everything he does, I'm in! Verrrry curious to see where he goes with this, lol.

Why? Why the Hypnohustler? What are they thinking?

Let's face it, Spidey has so few characters/villains of color, that Glover either was going to have to take one of them, or swap another existing character like what they did with Electro. Regardless, it smacks of desperation by Sony to try to squeeze something out of the Spider-Man sphere, without using the actual Spider-Man himself. At this rate, they're looking like DC's attempts to get their franchises off the ground. Weak, and very silly.

It does smack of desperation. Like they have gone from an A-Lister like Venom to a Z-Listers like Hypnohustler and  El Muerto.

Agree that this seems like such a random character to base a movie on, especially from all of the Spidey villains over the past sixty years!
