EURwebā€™s Jill Munroe say down with the cast and producers to discuss the impact of having Spider-Man be a black and Puerto Rican kid from Brooklyn.

Brian Tyree Hill (FXā€™s Atlanta, Widows) who voices Myles father Jefferson Davis said

ā€œthereā€™s flavor, thereā€™s flavor to this kid and itā€™s a household in Brooklyn that we know. These households exist. Iā€™m a huge fan of this universeā€¦ I remember coming up when they made the first Spider-Man, the one thing I knew for a fact was that Spider-Man was Peter Parker and Peter Parker was white. I never thought any further than that. What I love now is that this universe has opened up so wide, and we need it now more than ever. ā€œ
