8 Characters That Donald Glover Could Be Playing In Spider-Man: Homecoming

2) Robbie Robertson

After the character was (probably quite rightly) rested for The Amazing Spider-Man movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming has surely got to reintroduce J. Jonah Jameson. And where Jameson goes, the Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Bugle is sure to be close by – Robbie Robertson.

Previously portrayed by Bill Nunn in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films, he was quite a minor part of those movies, but with Glover in the role the character could be expanded. In the comics, he has an interesting backstory that’s tied in with the superhuman crime boss Tombstone. This is something that would be interesting to see, as it would involve introducing a formidable foe of Spider-Man’s to the big screen.

Alternatively, as Robbie is usually older than Glover, he could be playing the character’s son, Randy Robertson. Again, though, this would involve changing the character’s age, as Randy is usually a classmate of Peter’s.
