The actor and rapper — who was once [championed for the role of Spider-Man](http://time.com/3703175/donald-glover-next-spider-man/) — plays a petty criminal who offers Peter Parker ([Tom Holland](http://time.com/4837442/spider-man-tom-holland-peter-parker/)) a clue as to where he can track down Vulture’s (Michael Keaton) team. But here’s the good news: Glover’s scene in _Homecoming_ sets up a world in which he might play a bigger role in a [future film](http://time.com/4834038/spiderman-homecoming-marvel-avengers-venom/). Glover plays Aaron Davis, a character pulled straight from the Spider-Man comic books. In the comics, Davis is a burglar and criminal who goes by “[the Prowler.”](http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Aaron%5FDavis%5F%28Earth-1610%29) He pulls off petty crimes, including at one point breaking into Osborn Industries (yes, the birth place of the radioactive spider that bit Peter Parker). There, a radioactive spider sneaks into Davis’ bag, eventually crawling out and biting his nephew, Miles Morales. **MORE:** [20 Easter Eggs You Probably Didn’t Notice in _Spider-Man: Homecoming_](http://time.com/4826162/spiderman-homecoming-easter-eggs/) Fans of the comics may know Morales as the new Spider-Man. Even younger than Parker, Morales took over the role of Spidey after Parker appears to have died in the comics. (There is a parallel universe in which Parker lives. It’s complicated!) Glover also voices Morales in the animated _Spider-Man._ A few years ago, when [Sony first announced they were rebooting Spider-Man again](http://time.com/4784729/spiderman-homecoming-sony-marvel-reboot/), fans lobbied for Glover to play a live-action version of Morales. Instead, Sony decided to stick with Peter Parker and cast 21-year-old British actor Tom Holland to play him. In _Homecoming_, Glover’s character says that he doesn’t want dangerous weapons in the neighborhood because he has a young nephew who lives in the area. That means that Morales almost certainly exists in this Spider-Man cinematic universe, as is Glover’s Prowler. **MORE:** [Explaining Those Two Post-Credit Scenes in _Spider-Man: Homecoming_](http://time.com/4833457/spiderman-homecoming-post-credit-scenes/) We don’t know when Morales could turn up or how big a role he will play. The current Spidey actor, Tom Holland, has said that _Homecoming_ is the first in a trilogy. It’s possible that Miles shows up in this trilogy as a second Spider-Man. However, Marvel and Sony might also be planting the seeds for yet another Spider-Man series after Holland outgrows the role and fulfills his contract. (There have already been three _Spider-Man_ movie series in 15 years.) The fourth _Spider-Man_ series could star yet another actor as the Miles Morales Spider-Man. Yet another option involves Sony’s ever-expanding Spidey universe. Sony has announced plans for spinoff films for several other characters from the Spider-Man comics, including a [Venom movie](http://time.com/4786608/venom-sony-tom-hardy-spider-man/) starring Tom Hardy and a Black Cat and Silver Sable film. Perhaps Sony could somehow engineer a Miles Morales film while Peter Parker still exists. **MORE:** [How the Venom Spinoff Could Change the Spider-Man Universe](http://time.com/4705169/spider-man-venom-movie-spinoff/) Whatever the outcome, Glover’s subtle hint about his nephew was no accident. Miles Morales is coming.
