Donald Glover Is Being Considered for a Writer Role in an Upcoming MCU Project According to Rumors

Bob Iger recently discussed how the MCU is cutting back on its creative work. He mentioned that fans can look forward to about 2 or 3 movies a year and 2 shows. That’s much less than what was initially planned and what we’re used to.

Right now, there are over 30 MCU projects rumored or confirmed to be in the works. But, as Brad Winderbaum recently mentioned, not all of them will actually get made and released.

Recently, rumors have been circulating, sparked by the scooper and leaker MyTimeToShineHello, suggesting that Donald Glover is being considered for a writing role.

The leaker didn’t specify which project the studio is eyeing Glover for, but he does have ties to Disney and Marvel.

In 2020, Disney and Lucasfilm announced the spinoff series ‘Lando’, which later evolved into a film project, with Donald Glover and his brother Stephen Glover involved in its development.

Additionally, Sony is working on a film centered around the character Hypno-Hustler, with Donald Glover set to star and produce, while Myles Murphy handles the writing duties. Glover, renowned for his portrayal of Aaron Davis in ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ and a cameo in ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,’ is stepping into a new role for this upcoming project.

Considering Glover’s connections to Disney and Marvel projects, these rumors seem plausible. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him involved in a Spider-Man project, whether live-action or animated.
