It looks like Childish Gambino is about to step into the comic book scene. The rapper, who’s real name Donald Glover is used for his television and film career purposes, has just landed a gig with Disney XD.

Donald is set to voice the character of Spiderman, also known as Miles Morales, who is the newer version of Peter Parker, in the cartoon series of the popular comic book.

The leakynews reports:

Newcomers to the Spider-Man Disney show as well as the current run of comics may find themselves confused at the above clip. In the Ultimates run of comics, Morales becomes Spider-Man after Peter Parker dies, but despite the show being titled Ultimate Spider-Man, the lead is played by Peter Parker. The series will ‘see Parker travelling between realities on the trail of the Green Goblin as the villain collects DNA from various Spider-Men,’ in what will match up with the ‘Spider-Verse’ story set to take place in the comics.

This is the first debut of Miles Morales, and viewers hope to see more of him, being that he is black and latino.

What do you think of Donald Glover’s new gig?
