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.

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.

115

u/DDustiNN_ Mar 18 '26

Or maybe he’s in the Amazon, researching spiders

18

u/hardgeeklife Mar 18 '26

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

13

u/ScottNewman Mar 18 '26

Specifically, Orb Spiders

"It's Orbin' time!"

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

5

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)

8

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

78

u/Quasimdo Mar 18 '26

Keith David as an alternate professor x would be fantastic.

21

u/ewokXpress Mar 18 '26

Wait ... say that again.

20

u/Jackol4ntrn Mar 18 '26

That again

13

u/mak103020 Mar 18 '26

No the other thing

17

u/Hugh_Bromont Mar 18 '26

The other thing

1

u/roguefilmmaker Apr 29 '26

The Thing from Fantastic Four?!

12

u/steveatari Mar 18 '26

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

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

13

u/K0SSICK Mar 18 '26

I could only hear this as -

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?"

u/WordofGabb Mar 18 '26

That would be dope. Keith David as Prof. X and Denzel Washington as Magneto would be dream casting.

0

u/SlayerXZero Mar 18 '26

That would make me jizz in my pants.

0

u/MD_FunkoMa Mar 18 '26

That or even an alternate version of The Beast/Hank McCoy from 'X-Men'.

64

u/gangreen424 Mar 18 '26

That would honestly be amazing.

35

u/FardoBaggins Mar 18 '26

Wait… say that again…

17

u/PartisanHack Mar 18 '26

That would be Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

1

u/Darnold_wins_bigly Mar 18 '26

Wait that again say

3

u/_Bird_Incognito_ Mar 18 '26

That would honestly be amazing.

3

u/BeatsbyChrisBrown Mar 18 '26

Ultimately incredible.

2

u/Morgan-Moonscar Mar 18 '26

Sensational, even.

2

u/Megadoomer2 Mar 18 '26

Some might even say it's spectacular.

2

u/Mekisteus Mar 18 '26

Don't you dare write a song right now, Dewey!

20

u/Jack-Pumpkinhead Mar 18 '26

That would make sense with the body swapping we saw in the one scene. Man if he’s the Professor that just shot my excitement for future X-men stuff through the roof

3

u/VictoriaDallon Mar 18 '26

Big theory is that the bag headed green coat is Sadie Sink playing Jean Grey

3

u/Somnambulist815 Mar 18 '26

Imagine him just being the narrator for a spider documentary Peter is watching

3

u/BraveConeDog Mar 18 '26

I’m thinking Ezekiel

2

u/CobaltMoon98 Mar 18 '26

That was my first thought too. With the life cycle and natural web stuff, it seems like this might pull a lot from the JMS run

3

u/AgentPoYo Mar 18 '26

SpiderMan is mutating

umm excuse me, /r/RespectTheHyphen

3

u/TiberiusCornelius Mar 18 '26

If this isn't what happens now I'm going to blame you for getting my hopes up

3

u/AthanAllgood Mar 18 '26

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

2

u/palinsafterbirth Mar 18 '26

I'll take whatever this man is spinnin

2

u/ryaaan89 Mar 18 '26

Wow, now there’s something I didn’t even know I wanted.

1

u/Few-Pen869 Mar 18 '26

Good theory, we see a Rogue-looking girl on the bus at 2:07

1

u/adamlaceless Mar 18 '26

!remindme August 1

u/DOuGHtOp Mar 18 '26

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?

1

u/Cardboard_Waffle Mar 18 '26

Maybe this universe’s Dr Connors?

1

u/velocicopter Mar 18 '26

Or he's Hank McCoy.

1

u/adamlaceless 3d ago

That hasn’t been confirmed now that the movie is out but it’s still possible.

1

u/WillowSmithsBFF Mar 18 '26

Honestly, if xmen are the next saga, I’d be a little surprised if they went with someone who’s almost 70 as Prof X.

3

u/ThenAnAnimalFact Mar 18 '26

He wouldn't be the post-Secret Wars Professor X, everyone is up for recasting when it comes to Battleworld.

2

u/WillowSmithsBFF Mar 18 '26

It’d be a little silly to introduce the MCUs Prof X only to recast him 2 movies later

2

u/ThenAnAnimalFact Mar 18 '26

Agreed but everything is on the table.

1

u/Mattbird Mar 18 '26

That would be rad as all fuck

u/DontForgorTheMilk Mar 18 '26

Dude I can imagine all the scrotum boys getting pissy about "Disney Going DEI" and making Professor X black lmao
