In the Marvel Comics, Aaron Davis was also the uncle of Miles Morales, the character Donald Glover voices on the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, and the character that he also lobbied to play for some time in a live-action movie.
If Donald Glover is in fact playing Aaron Davis, then it’s possible that this movie may also introduce his nephew Miles Morales, but that may not happen since Sony is also putting out a Spider-Man animated movie, with Shameik Moore voicing Miles Morales, with that movie following his origins.
Just a few days before the original report on Donald Glover, Disney XD aired a Fan’s Guide to Spider-Man: Homecoming, a 22-minute special chocked full of new footage, where Donald Glover’s character was referred to as Aaron Davis.
Earlier today, a report surfaced that Jennifer Connelly has been added to the IMDB page for Spider-Man: Homecoming, but that page also revealed that Donald Glover’s character is actually Aaron Davis, who fans of the Marvel Comics will also know as The Prowler.
