Donald Glover to Star In & Produce Spider-Man Movie Based on Hypno-Hustler Villain
Donald Glover is finally getting a Spider-Man movie. It’s just not quite what you think. Glover is attached to star and produce a feature set in Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man universe of Marvel Comics characters, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Myles Murphy, the son of actor and comedian Eddie Murphy, is on board to write the project, which has no title but is said to revolve on the Hypno-Hustler, one of the more obscure Spider-Man villains. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Created by Bill Mantlo, the writer who also created Rocket Racoon, and artist Frank Springer, Hypno-Hustler was very much a product of the disco music scene when he first appeared in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man No. 24 in 1978.

Donald Glover Will Be in Community Movie, Dan Harmon Says
Earlier this year, the exciting news that Community was coming back with a movie was somewhat dampened when it appeared that Troy Barnes (Donald Glover) wasn’t included in the returning cast. Now, however, Community co-creator Dan Harmon says that omission was simply a mistake, and that Glover will actually be in the movie after all. It seemed understandable that Glover wouldn’t return to Community, which originally ran from 2009 to 2015, since the multi-hyphenate has grown increasingly busy with Atlanta and his music career as Childish Gambino in the years since the sitcom’s end. But according to Harmon, who addressed the reboot at a recent Variety Business Managers Breakfast, “For lack of a better word, there was a ball fumbled… [Glover] is down to...
Atlanta’s Latest Episode Includes Another Teddy Perkins-Style Cameo
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Atlanta, Season 4 Episode 5, “Work Ethic!”] Atlanta’s final season continues its march towards the end with “Work Ethic!,” in which Van (Zazie Beetz) finds herself as well as her daughter Lottie (Austin Elle Fisher) sucked into the world of a TV mega-producer. Van initially arrives at a studio lot as a day player on a sitcom, but after an outburst from Lottie attracts the attention of the seemingly omniscient Kirkwood Chocolate (who communicates with his underlings strictly through a PA system), Van finds herself fighting to locate her daughter in the chaos of Kirkwood’s many, many ongoing productions. In classic Atlanta fashion, Van’s quest to find Lottie grows increasingly surreal and violent, until she eventually is able to confront Ki...
‘Community’ Movie Is Finally Happening, But Without Donald Glover – For Now
What may have started as a joke in season two and evolved into a hashtag campaign by fans is now coming to fruition. More than seven years after the former NBC comedy wrapped its run with its sixth and final season on Yahoo, cult favorite comedy Community is officially getting its long-awaited movie. Peacock, NBC’s streaming counterpart, has greenlit the untitled movie after landing the project from series creator Dan Harmon following a bidding war with other platforms. Six of Community’s nine central stars will return for the movie: Joel McHale (Jeff), Danny Pudi (Abed), Alison Brie (Annie), Gillian Jacobs (Britta), Jim Rash (Craig) and Ken Jeong (Ben). Donald Glover (Troy), Chevy Chase (Pierce) and Yvette Nicole Brown (Shirley) are not c...
Atlanta Season 4 Remains One of TV’s Most Imaginative and Subversive Series Ever: Review
The Pitch: Since 2016, FX’s Atlanta has proven to audiences that it has no intentions of playing by any rules. Created by and starring multi-hyphenated talent Donald Glover, the story about a broke Ivy League dropout who manages his cousin’s burgeoning rap career while their wacky and aimless friend tags along does not seem like it would become one of television’s most imaginative, subversive, and thought-provoking shows of all time. After four seasons of following Earn, Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (Lakeith Stanfield), and Earn’s baby’s momma Van (Zazie Beetz), however, that’s exactly what Atlanta has become — and its farewell season is no different. In the fourth and final season of Atlanta, the characters have all fully evolved from the financially unstable and emotionally lost...

“All Hell Breaks Loose” in Official Trailer for Atlanta’s Final Season: Watch
Donald Glover’s award-winning series Atlanta will conclude with the fourth and final season, and as the new official trailer promises, “All hell breaks loose.” Season 4 debuts September 15th on FX. The trailer shows gunshots, a brief image of what may be a jail cell, burnouts in expensive cars, and little kids with big music dreams and some bottled water to sell. But at the center of it all is Glover’s characer Earn Marks, who seems to be going through a mental health crisis. “You seem frustrated today,” he’s told. “I’m not upset about anything,” he responds peevishly. “I mean, not to flex, but work is good… Then all hell breaks loose.” Check out the trailer below.

Atlanta Drops Magical Teaser for Fourth and Final Season: Watch
Cereal rains from the clouds, a piano falls from the sky, and all sort of animals and vehicles defy the laws of nature in the callback-heavy teaser for Season 4 of Atlanta. The final episodes from the critically-beloved series come to FX in September. Season 4 was shot at the same time as Season 3, debuted earlier this year and which Consequence named it one of the best TV shows of 2022 so far. The new teaser doesn’t offer much in the way of plot details; it opens with Donald Glover as Earn Marks and Zazie Beetz as Van Keefer exiting a store as Coconut Crunchies drift from above. Teddy Perkins’ falling piano causes ripples in the asphalt before Darius Epps (Lakeith Stanfield) crashes an invisible car. Meanwhile, an ostrich grows out of an egg at record speed, an alligator cl...
Liam Neeson Makes Surprise Cameo on Atlanta to “Apologize” for Past Racism Scandal
Atlanta fans were in for a surprise last night when none other than Liam Neeson popped up on the hit FX drama’s latest episode. In his Season 3 cameo appearance written by Donald Glover, the Taken action star played a fictitious version of himself who chats up Brian Tyree Henry’s Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles at a bar called Cancel Club. “You might’ve heard or read about my transgression,” Neeson says on the show, referencing his racially-charged controversy back in 2019. “You know, what I said about what I wanted to do to a Black guy, any Black guy, when I was a younger man in London. A friend of mine had been raped and I acted out of anger. I look back now and it honestly frightens me. I thought people knowing who I once was would make clear who I am, who I’ve become. But with all that b...
Twitter Thinks Donald Glover’s Interview With Himself For ‘Interview Magazine’ Is A Hot “Incel” Mess
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Lionel Hahn / Getty We don’t know who thought it was a good idea for Donald Glover to interview himself, but it happened, and it landed him in hot water with Black women and writers. With the return of his FX dramedy Atlanta, Donald Glover has come out of hiding and back into the spotlight. Noticeably vocal on Twitter, calling out the haters and telling them to be brave and @ him when it comes to critiques about Atlanta’s third season. Glover wanted all the smoke, and he isn’t just getting it from the “blue checks” but from Black women and people who make a living speaking to individuals like himself. There has been a long-standing belief that Glover doesn’t like Black women, and the fact he is married to a white woman doesn’t help his case. Now, wh...
Five Takeaways from Donald Glover’s Bonkers Interview with Himself
Interview Magazine was founded by Andy Warhol and usually publishes — you guessed it — interviews. But what happens when a famous artist would rather not sit for someone else’s questions? On April 7th, Donald Glover provided an answer of sorts when the magazine published him interviewing himself. “Yeah, so first question, why’d you want to do this?” he writes, before responding, “I guess I don’t love interviews and I asked myself, ‘Why don’t you like interviews?’ And I think part of it is that the questions are usually the same. This way I can get questions I usually don’t get asked.” He offers project updates, bizarre opinions, reflections on his own work, and more. The results are occasionally illuminating and often very strange. Glover does indeed ask himself questions that few oth...
