It was rumored round a yr in the past that Colman Domingo was being eyed for the function of Kang the Conqueror following Jonathan Majors’ dismissal. Based mostly on Domingo’s subsequent response, that was certainly simply chatter however, fortunately, he’s now a part of the Marvel household by the use of You’re Pleasant Neighborhood Spider-Man. He performs the function of Norman Osborn on the animated 2025 TV schedule launch and simply revealed he’d prefer to reprise it in a live-action undertaking. Now, his co-star has a tackle that, and actually it makes me smile.
What Did Colman Domingo Say About Enjoying Norman Osborn And How Did His Co-Star Reply?
The Sing Sing actor not too long ago sat down for an interview with Josh Horowitz of the Comfortable Unhappy Confused podcast, throughout which he was requested about probably becoming a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When responding, the star pointed to his function within the newest Spidey present (which has been properly obtained). Nonetheless, he additionally admitted to eager to make the soar to live-action with Osborn and “tear that up on the massive display.” That sentiment was thrilling sufficient, however one other one managed so as to add to my giddiness.
Zeno Robinson – who voices Harry Osborn on You’re Pleasant Neighborhood – later took to X to reply to his on-screen father’s feedback. He was not solely ecstatic concerning the prospect of that occuring, however he additionally threw his hat within the ring to play a live-action Harry. And, primarily based on his feedback, Robinson is kind of severe about this:
AND I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN RETURNING AS HIS SON IN LIVE ACTION IN THE MCU 🤚🏾… And this isn’t like…me BS’ing. I’ve educated in performing since my profession started, and have performed on digicam earlier than and have been coaching particularly for on digicam performing for the previous 5 years…🙏🏾
I truthfully applaud the actor for capturing his shot on the subject of probably enjoying the youthful Osborn on the massive display. Whether or not others are keen about this concept, I do not know, however I’d personally be down for this.
Each Zeno Robinson and Colman Domingo are expert actors. Domingo’s physique of labor is properly documented and consists of movies and TV exhibits like Ma Rainey’s Black Backside, Euphoria, Rustin and The Coloration Purple. Robinson, a seasoned voice actor, has additionally lent his pipes to some main exhibits like Younger Justice, Huge Metropolis Greens and Transformers: EarthSpark. Nonetheless, as Robinson talked about, he’s additionally educated on the subject of on-camera work.
Each actors have contributed nice work to You’re Pleasant Neighborhood Spider-Man (which is streamable with a Disney+ subscription) to date. Whereas they each play new takes on the Osborns, they embody the essence of each characters. With that, I wouldn’t thoughts seeing them reprise the roles in an upcoming Spider-Man undertaking that’s not animated. The prime place for them to pop up can be Tom Holland’s fourth Spidey film. I may particularly see Zeno Robinson’s Harry chopping it up with Holland’s Parker.
If we’re being practical, although, the probabilities of a brand new Harry and Norman exhibiting up within the mainstream MCU appears slim, contemplating 2021’s No Approach Dwelling basically coated Parker’s battle with the latter. Willem Dafoe reprised his function because the well-known villain within the movie and did so tremendously. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t be mad if a multiversal iteration of Osborn performed by Colman Domingo popped up in a live-action manufacturing alongside his co-star from the animated sequence.
Talking of which, new episodes of You’re Pleasant Neighborhood Spider-Man hit Disney+ on Wednesdays. Remember to additionally keep updated on the subject of upcoming Marvel exhibits.
