It was introducing the as-yet-unnamed project that delves into the depths of Marvel Comics with its main character, Hypno-Hustler. As a special bonus, Myles Murphy—son of renowned actor Eddie Murphy—is on board to write this exciting movie!
In 1978, Bill Mantlo introduced one of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains when Hypno-Hustler debuted in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man No. 24. The true identity behind this villainous mask is Antoine Delson, and he leads a disco band called Mercy Killers that specializes in hypnotic robbery techniques. With his impressive powers and charismatic stage presence, Hypno Hustler has become an unforgettable part of Spidey lore.
Hypno-Hustler may not be a well-known Spider-Man antagonist. However, according to sources in The Hollywood Reporter, his presence was due to Donald Glover’s musical expertise and an opening in the narrative. Many fans were hoping for Donald Glover to play Spiderman in 2012’s Amazing Spiderman movie, which was awarded to Andrew Garfield instead. But fortunately enough, he still got the chance to voice himself out on Disney XD through Ultimate Spider-Man.
Sony is doing its utmost to bring the beloved characters from Spider-Man’s universe to life, with movies such as Kraven the Hunter, Madame Web, and Spider-Woman in different stages of development.
