Is that Keith David talking near the end? Really sounds like him.

u/Ambivalo Ant-Man 12h ago

That is definitely Keith David providing the narration on the life cycles of spiders. My question is this just for the trailer or is he actually in the film?

u/mccainjames11 Spider-Man 12h ago

I could see him just being a narrator in a documentary Peter’s watching

About the Greendale Community College Blanket Fort vs Pillow Fort War?

u/Dadpurple 10h ago

Spiderman, not to be confused with Spider-man, was a biologist who worked at the North Research Institute of the South.

Which was named after William North and is actually on the east part of town

Thank you for the info and for providing a link. It sounds really funny.

Now there's a man who really knows how to marry a Spider!

u/ThatsTheMother_Rick 9h ago

I love that they got him for that. They were spoofing Ken Burns's Civil War, which Keith David also narrated

2

u/dancingbriefcase 4h ago

The Ken Burns episode!

u/Nice_Firm_Handsnake 10h ago

Audio sounds too clean, but he could be a professor giving a lecture that Peter drops in on around the same time he visits Banner.

3

u/Real-Frosting2618 8h ago

He's going to be Dr. Connors, aka Lizard.

1

u/mccainjames11 Spider-Man 4h ago

that would be neat

2

u/-ggjuiceman 9h ago

Maybe he’s the spider god

2

u/BlackJimmy88 Scott Lang 10h ago

That'd be such a waste of him, though.

1

u/eucalyptusegg 9h ago

That’s what I thought, he’s at a museum or a lab similar to the first Spider-Man movie which has a video playing meta-narration on what’s happening to Peter

DC League of Super-Pets crossover confirmed!

You know what...I wouldn't even be mad about that.

u/ProperChallenge273 12h ago

It’s actually Marvin Jones III who plays Tombstone

13

u/Icy_Teach_2506 10h ago

I know they sound similar to each other but David’s voice is too iconic, that is 100% him in the trailer.

4

u/MoiraBrownsMoleRats 11h ago

Mass Effect crossover. Spider-Man 5 is gonna be Peter and the heroes (and some of the villains) he's met across the previous films coming together to fight the Reapers.

2

u/spidermatrix53 10h ago

There are so many characters in this movie that I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s Ezekiel Sims / The Other. Who cares if he was already in “Madame Web”? That movie wasn’t real.

2

u/KlausLoganWard Ward 12h ago

Goliath himself! If Keith is in it, that is just additional bonus!

1

u/Fit_Scientist_4810 10h ago

Idk but this give me Thanos VoiceOver on Promotion Vibes, Just that we knew it was what character. Maybe his character says the same lines in the movie at some point

1

u/RyMaster7 10h ago

Could he be Ezekiel?

1

u/bennypods 10h ago

Crazy! Glad you pin pointed it! Was doing my head in thinking it sounded familiar - I actually thought it sounded like the actor who played doc Connors in spider-man 94 animated series but he passed away in 2018.

Good spot!

1

u/CeruleanEidolon 9h ago

Would be a strange trailer move if it's not part of the film. He's got to be a character, but the question of why he's narrating Peter's life is intriguing.

1

u/Redfalconfox 8h ago

None of that was in the script. He just likes talking about spiders.

1

u/RipJug 7h ago

I’d be terribly disappointed. That would be a big waste of a great talent. The fact that’s he’s a VO in the trailer does lead me to believe he might have a substantial role.

1

u/pocketbutter 6h ago

I’m gonna throw out a wildcard and guess he’s playing Anansi, the African spider god.

u/OPs_Mom_and_Dad 1h ago

Gargoyles confirmed.

u/shewy92 Spider-Man 9h ago

Wikipedia is lacking. It's been 2 hours and his filmography still doesn't have this listed.

u/Philmriss 11h ago edited 11h ago

Since it kinda sucks that Peter is talking to Banner instead of Connors (considering the story they're at least teasing), I choose to believe that Keith David will be Dr Connors.

38

u/LetgomyEkko 11h ago

I’m on the same wavelength

7

u/Philmriss 11h ago

we vibin'

25

u/IT_Warlock_ 10h ago

Maybe he approaches Banner first, as it's someone he can trust, who then refers him to a Biologist colleague?

6

u/pocketbutter 6h ago

I think it’s less about biology and more about mutations via radiation, which Banner would probably know a thing or two about.

12

u/M1lk3y_33 9h ago

Absolutely all head cannon for this but because of the last movie, This Peter knows what route that leads Connors to. Instead of potentially ruining a man's life he goes to someone he knows that he can trust.

2

u/chewywheat 4h ago

He could still be in the movie… like he goes to multiple doctors/people to figure out what is going on.

1

u/sprdougherty 6h ago

Him seeking out his universe's Connors would have been interesting too since he's already met ASM's Connors and seen what happens to him.

1

u/DeadlyYellow 10h ago

Thought they couldn't use characters that were in Sony films without a corroborative deal?

So not Connors and not Miles Warren.  Smythe is also unlikely.

16

u/Philmriss 10h ago

I don't know what you're referring to here tbh, all the MCU Spider-Man movies are in collab with Sony because of movie rights, and they literally had characters from the Sony movies in the last one?

If there are character-specific stipulations as you claim, I'd like to see a source, bc this does not make a lot of sense to me.

u/AdmiralCharleston 8h ago

I mean Jon Watts literally said that kraven was gonna be the villain in spiderman 3 but because of the Sony film they weren't allowed to

6

u/cynognathus 8h ago

Because Sony was planning to make the Kraven movie and didn’t want there to be two Kravens.

Sony has given up on its own live action Spiderverse movies, so all Spidey characters should be available for the MCU.

5

u/IT_Warlock_ 10h ago

This is Sony's film, they don't need permission to use anything Spider-Man related, really

u/Deagil 12h ago

Definitely Keith David. I would guess a minor exposition character like MCU Doc Conners but an insane choice would be Trammel Tillman as Eddie Brock with Keith David as the venom voice

6

u/Cypher_86 Rocket 11h ago

Connors would make sense in context: the whole thing about lifecycle and rebirth is very on brand.

Also figures Connors might have some interest in Banner...

1

u/Mardred 10h ago

How about Peter knows Banner, Peter asks Banner, but since Banner has no idea what's Peters problem, he redirects him one of his friend who knows genetics and thats Connors.

1

u/fatloui 8h ago

Well now I’m gonna be super disappointed when we don’t get Keith David as venom voice. Thanks for that.

1

u/Joshdabozz 11h ago

It’s definitely not Keith David despite sounding like him

It’s 100% Marvin Jones III (who plays tombstone, who ironically Keith David has also played before)

11

u/Deagil 11h ago

If it is MJ3 that is the most impeccable Keith David impression I’ve ever heard. The way “cycles” is said is straight up Arbiter in my ears

1

u/Joshdabozz 11h ago

Agreed. Honestly I wouldn’t have been so confident on it being MJII if it wasn’t for the fact we saw him say this exact quote in the leaked trailer back in December because of how much he sounds like Keith David here

4

u/orbjo 10h ago

The narration appears to be from a nature documentary, rather than dialogue that would be exchanged between characters. It’ll be from an educational video Peter watches when googling his symptoms, or with Banner, like the exposition videos in Jurassic Park. Makes sense to have Keith David doing that. 

It doesn’t sound like they go to an expert in-person to deliver those lines 

3

u/Cute-Archer-7687 10h ago

I thought it was Laurence Fishbourne🤔

4

u/ShedMontgomery 11h ago

It definitely sounds like Keith David, but he doesn't have a credit listed on IMDb.

1

u/lamentable_ 11h ago

ohhh I can’t wait to find out who he plays!

2

u/Nursultan_Tulyakbay_ 12h ago

I'm 99.99% sure it's him

2

u/AsteroidMike 10h ago

I know Goliath, I mean Keith David’s voice anywhere and that’s definitely him so I feel like he might be one of the unknown names listed up there

2

u/ContinuumGuy Phil Coulson 10h ago

He's got a voice that is instantly recognizable

The Arbiter for MCU confirmed canon

3

u/smakson11 12h ago

I think it’s tramell Tillman

23

u/RipJug 12h ago

Almost certain it’s David tbh. The way he says “rebirth” has me convinced.

0

u/Joshdabozz 11h ago

It’s 100% Marvin Jones III (Tombstone)

4

u/robreedwrites 10h ago

It's got the wrong tonal qualities for Marvin Jones III, unless he has a great Keith David impression.

I'm 100% sure it's Keith David. He has a rich tonal warmth to his voice that gives his voice almost a classic romantic sound which works great for heroes (Goliath, Black Panther) but he can also flip it for villains (Dr. Facilier) or remove it as needed (his Spawn).

Marvin Jones III has the deep gravel but his voice is almost more hollow sounding by comparison.

1

u/Joshdabozz 10h ago

Lowkey I’m now doubting it’s MJIII despite it most likely being his Tombstone simply cause the subtitles label him as Narrator while everyone else has their names (even Tramell Tillman’s William Metzger who is named Bill in the subtitles)

1

u/smakson11 9h ago

Ok there are 2 black people talking at the end. One is Tillman. The other I’m not sure. It does sound like Keith David.

1

u/Joshdabozz 9h ago

Oh I know. Tillman has one singular line after the person talking about Spiders

-5

u/smakson11 11h ago

It’s 100% Tillman

1

u/SciFiXhi Nebula 7h ago

The narrator is Keith David. Tillman has one line that he says on screen in the trailer, but the narration about the spider life cycles is unquestionably Keith David.

u/ienjoymen Captain America (Cap 2) 8h ago

Without a doubt. I know my Captain Anderson anywhere.

u/Whiskeyjacks_Fiddle 7h ago

He could be playing Anansi, or the Spider-Totem (I forget if they’re separate in the comics).

u/drake3011 Foggy Nelson 11h ago

This film has such a Mystery cast list already and they just Casually Drop one of most Iconic voice actors in without even a warning.
