Hailing from shows such as Community, Donald Glover has long been rumored to play a Spider Character.  Especially after his campaign to do so, resulting in the introduction of Miles Morales, the half Hispanic half African American Spider-Man counterpart of Peter Parker in 2011.

USA Today reports several details of what we can expect to see in this new web-slinging show:

“He meets someone who is his hero, and that comes across completely in Donald’s performance,” says Stephen Wacker, a former Spider-Man editor at Marvel Comics who’s now vice president of Marvel Television’s animation division. “He’s got a real warmth that suits the character really, really well.

 Glover told USA Today that portraying that 13-year-old Miles didn’t require that much of a stretch. “That’s the great part about the Spider-Man costume: He can be anybody,” he said. “Spider-Man could be a girl. Spider-Man could be an old man. You don’t know. So I just tried to be as me as possible, because you’re always just going to bring it back to yourself when you watch the show.”

Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors premieres Sunday at 9 a.m. ET/PT on Disney XD.
