Im not familiar with the actor but if he can act the part.. go for it. :smile:
But . . . . Spider Man isn't black . . . he never has been!
I don't understand this push. Why paint a white hero black? Why not just create a black hero?
He could be spider-man's genetic clone created in some freaky accident just like what happened in the comics except with a white dude.
I can see it: "Spider-Man's soul brother!" "If you thought Spider-Man 3 was dark, wait 'till you see what we got in store!"

its different! fresh view, fresh story, I'd watch it.
I thought this idea had already been covered:

Not even with a million signed petitions no studio would make that move. but hey, Blaxploitation Spiderman. :teddyr:
It seems a bit of a stretch to see Spiderman played by a black actor, but it'd not be a first for a white comic book character, in the Marvel Universe, to be played by a black man. Kingpin, in the comic books "Daredevil" and "Spiderman," who has always appeared to me as a white man, was voiced by the black actor Roscoe Lee Browne in the animated series "Spiderman." And he was portrayed by black actor Michael Clarke Duncan in the film "Daredevil."
I don't see why this is getting as much attention as it is. It's not only a bad idea, but an idea that no studio would ever support.
I don't get it. Spiderman has always been a caucasin dude. Maybe they would have a Micheal Jackson spin on it. Peter Parker was not happy as a white boy, so he became a soul brother.
It would not be Soul Man. :bouncegiggle:

I thought Spider Man was Tobey Maguire... who else can I identify Spider Man with, after all those movie were made fairly recently.
Why not make a movie about a black superhero? There are a couple kicking around, after all.
well they made catwoman black (halle berry)
