"Community" star Donald Glover wants a chance to audition for Sony’s "Spider-Man" reboot … and judging by the grassroots viral campaigns on Twitter and Facebook supporting the colorblind casting, he’s not alone.
On May 28, in reaction to the news of five white actors reportedly being on the "short-list" to play Peter Parker, Marc Bernardin of io9.com ran a story titled "The Last Thing Spider-Man Should Be Is Another White Guy."
A reader in the comments section suggested Glover as Spidey, and the idea developed a life of its own on the, um, web over the holiday weekend.
