Atlanta star Donald Glover is reportedly set to feature in and produce a film hailing from Sony Pictures’s Spider-Man universe of Marvel Comics characters.

Sources told entertainment website The Hollywood Reporter that the upcoming movie would revolve around the Hypno-Hustler, one of the lesser known Spider-Man villains.

Myles Murphy, the son of veteran actor and comedian Eddie Murphy, is attached to write the currently untitled project.

Created by Bill Mantlo of Rocket Racoon fame, Hypno-Hustler was the leader of a band called the Mercy Killers and used hypnosis technology in his musical instruments on his audience in order to rob them.

The character, whose real name was Antoine Delsoin, was a product of the disco music scene when he first appeared in the comic book Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man No. 24 in 1978.

According to industry insiders, Glover, who is also a rapper known by stage name Childish Gambino, was attracted to the musical aspect of Hypno-Hustler and that he had lesser Marvel canon baggage.

His name has circled Spider-Man for years, particularly in the 2012 movie The Amazing Spider-Man, which eventually saw Andrew Garfield play the webslinger. However, Glover voiced Spider-Man/Miles Morales in the Disney XD series Ultimate Spider-Man in 2015. He also appeared in a very brief role in Spider-Man: Homecoming starring Tom Holland.

Sony, which owns the film rights to the Spider-Man and related antagonist characters Venom and Morbius, is developing films on Madame Web and Spider-Woman.
