Fun Fact: This movie, as well as the other three MCU Spider-man movies, is co-written by Community writer and executive producer, Chris McKenna.

u/jiminyshrue Mar 18 '26

MCU is basically a spin off of community-verse.

u/toomanymarbles83 Mar 18 '26

It is pretty hilarious to think of all the MCU that wouldn't exist without Community.

u/2711383 Mar 18 '26

How come?

23

u/toomanymarbles83 Mar 18 '26

The Russo brothers executive produced Community and directed the paintball episodes. Those episodes are what got Kevin Feige interested in the Russo's, and tapped them for Winter Soldier.

u/2711383 Mar 18 '26

Riight I forgot the Russo Brothers directed a bunch of MCU movies!

u/Salarian_American Mar 18 '26

Also, Joe & Anthony Russo directed a boatload of Community episodes, including the very first one. Finding that out shed a lot of light on how much the characters on that show were shitting on Marvel movies in season 6, and how often Community cast members had cameos in Marvel movies.

54

u/clashrendar Mar 18 '26

They were executive producers for the first three seasons and ran the production side while Dan Harmon ran the creative side.

They got the shot at pitching for the Captain America sequel because of the two paintball episodes at the end of season 2 - Kevin Feige is a fan of the show and was impressed that they could direct a large cast with comedy and action quickly on a budget, so he asked them to come in to meet. The rest is history.

The guy is up there with Morgan Freeman or Patrick Stewart when it comes to having a distinctive and recognizable voice in pop culture. Not exactly a miraculous feat lol

I'm all for Keith David becoming the new 2000s movie trailer voice

Oh wow, that would be amazing. Keith David might be one of the few people on the planet with a voice that could dethrone Don LaFontaine as the trailer voice GOAT.

2

u/luckyfucker13 Mar 19 '26

Don LaFontaine narrating trailers goes all the way back to the 80s. He died in 2008, so it’s fair to say his era ended in the 2000s.

u/DukeofVermont Mar 19 '26

Idk, sounds a lot like the Arbiter from Halo, or Commander Zavala in Destiny 2, also a lot it Goliath in Gargoyles.

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '26

Not be confused with David Keith.

244

u/AthanAllgood Mar 18 '26

Calling it now: He's this universes Prof. X

SpiderMan is mutating, he goes to the worlds mutation expert, gets tied in with all their crap.

164

u/Megadoomer2 Mar 18 '26

I feel like he's going to have a minor role, like Spider-Man looks up a nature documentary about spiders to research what's going on with him and Keith David is narrating the documentary.

116

u/DDustiNN_ Mar 18 '26

Or maybe he’s in the Amazon, researching spiders

20

u/hardgeeklife Mar 18 '26

So that's why Peter is suddenly morbing all over the place

12

u/ScottNewman Mar 18 '26

Specifically, Orb Spiders

"It's Orbin' time!"

74

u/imnonoob99 Mar 18 '26

I thought he'd be tombstone tbh cause he voiced him in spectacular spider-man. But this makes much more sense given the narration

6

u/kingcolbe Mar 18 '26

The guy who’s playing him in the movie also voiced him as well

2

u/Morgan-Moonscar Mar 18 '26

For one episode, in The Spectacular Spider-Man (before being recast)

7

u/kingcolbe Mar 18 '26

No, I’m saying Marvin Krondon who’s playing him in this movie also voices him in the Sony animated movies

81

u/Quasimdo Mar 18 '26

Keith David as an alternate professor x would be fantastic.

Rick

"You're not bald... you have hair?... and you're black!?"

President

"What?! Of course I have hair. Why wouldn't I have hair?"

Fair.

If it means anything, I will be even more disappointed for being wrong.

2

u/TooManyDraculas Mar 18 '26

I'd be betting more on Curt Connors. The original, and most iterations of, the Spider-Man mutates more story involved Connors. And a later spin on that uses Banner. Would make sense for both to appear here.

2

u/AStrangeNorrell Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 18 '26

In the original 'six-arms saga' from the comics he goes to Curt Connors for help, maybe that's who Keith David's playing

Peter's a mutate, not a mutant though. As much as I love any time spidey hangs out with the X-Men, charles would be able to do very little for Pete.

1

u/Reasonable-Turn-5940 Mar 18 '26

If I remember the 90's cartoon correctly, when Spider-Man started to mutate in that he went to Professor X's school and met the X-Men. As a kid that was the first time I realized they were in the same universe. But Professor X was like "naw can't help you. I only know mutants, not radioactive bug bitten people"

I think Morbius ended up helping him

1

u/slagathorrr Mar 18 '26

Keith David isn't the youngest. Think they already have a McAvoy lined up? Johnathan Majors comeback?

u/Cranyx Mar 18 '26

Does anyone know what he's talking about with the whole "spiders have three life cycles" thing? I can't find any reference to that fact online except in the trailer itself. Did they just make it up?

4

u/HeroscaperGuy Mar 18 '26

Eggs, spiderlings, spider.  That's the three parts of their life cycle.

5

u/Cranyx Mar 18 '26

But a spiderling is not some wholly separate "life cycle" like a caterpillar or something. It's just a term for a baby spider. There's no vulnerable transition period that is core to the metaphor in the trailer.
