While speaking to The Breakfast Club yesterday in an interview, comedian Hannibal Buress confirmed that he will indeed be in Marvel’s upcoming take on the web-slinger revealing the role he plays in the film.
“In Spider-Man, I play a gym teacher,” he said. “I play one of the dumbass characters that don’t realize he’s Spider-Man. [My character thinks] ‘He’s Peter Parker. Oh man, this guy’s really athletic!’”
While it’s a small role, it is possible that he might be the comedic relief in Peter Parker’s life, when it comes to the scenes that take place in the high school setting.
