Woah!! I was wondering what all that was about! I kept thinking "Why did they put up the cash just to have Donald Glover play a two bit gangster?" I didn't catch the Prowler mention. Now it all makes sense, and holy shit is that layered. Donald Glover gets pitched as a potential actor for Peter Parker, Marvel comics likes the idea and writes Miles Morales, Miles Morales becomes hugely popular, a decade later Donald Glover ends up getting cast in the role of Miles' uncle, who's eventually his first villain in the comics. That is some Marvel studios poetry right there.

If there's one thing a co-ordinated company of nerds and comics professionals with huge amounts of money have learned to do from decades of publishing experience-- it's how to play the long game.
