People! It's finally happened! DONALD GLOVER IS SPIDER-MA... Sorry, we're being told that they have a Spider-Man in place already. Tom... Holland? Never heard of the fella, but he sounds civil enough. Still, those who hoped that the Community veteran would appear in a Spidey film are getting their wish, if not directly, as Glover has joined Spider-Man: Homecoming.

So far we don't know what role Glover will be playing, but we're happy to see him part of the Spider-universe. He joins Holland, who makes his stand-alone debut as Peter Parker following his appearance in Captain America: Civil War, Marisa Tomei, who is once again Aunt May, Michael Keaton (as The Vulture, even if it hasn't officially been announced), The First Avenger: Captain America actor Kenneth Choi in a new role as a school headmaster and Michael Barbieri, Tony Revolori and Zendaya, who will all play pals of our friendly neighborhood web-slinger. Not to forget Robert Downey Jr., who shared scenes with Holland as Tony Stark and brings the zinger-slinger to the Spider-Man films thanks to Marvel and Sony's big crossover deal.

Cop Car director Jon Watts is preparing to start shooting, and the film is scheduled to swing into UK cinemas on July 7 next year. As for Glover, he was last seen in The Martian and is preparing for the launch of a TV series he created called Atlanta.
