As Spider-Verse 2 gears up to present Daniel Kaluuya’s new animated Spider-Man hero, the Black Panther actor gave fans a preview of what to look forward to.
Daniel Kaluuya, star of Black Panther, has joined Spider-Verse 2′s impressive voice cast as Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk, a homeless youngster who in his dimension becomes a hero to the oppressed residents of New York.
Producer Amy Pascal said that a love triangle between Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Hobie Brown would be brought to the fore because the latter two have a history. However, it is unknown how Spider-Punk would play a role in Spider-Verse 2′s Multiverse quest.

Daniel Kaluuya Talks About His Role in Spider-Verse 2
Black Panther actor Daniel Kaluuya discussed his experience voicing Spider-Punk for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in an interview with Empire Magazine.
In the follow-up, Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk is a British, mohawked, Camden-based version of Spider-Man. It’s interesting to note that the MCU actor is a native of Camden, which makes him the ideal option for the part.
When he found that he would be appearing in the Avengers sequel, Kaluuya said that he was “gassed,” adding his eagerness to play “a nasty villain that sounds precisely like [him]:”
“I was given gas. I added, “Thank you for letting me be a part of it, because this is great as fuck,” turning to Lord, Miller, and Kemp. In The Spider-Verse, I have a voice role as a villain who resembles me. Let’s go! You walk to your family’s younger members and flex, saying, “I’m getting on, but don’t forget!”
The Nope and Get Out actor also said that, because of his Camden roots, doing Spider-Punk gave him an opportunity to express himself:
“This character is from Camden, which is heavily linked to the punk scene, and I was born and raised there, so I suppose they wanted to lean into what they had with me for free,” the actor said.
After that, Kaluuya explained how he voiced the character:
“What do they speak like?” they inquired. I said, “Like me!” I believe it gives it an honest feel, similar to when I say, “Guy like Pav! Huge step [Indian Spider-Man Pavitr Prabhakar]! I experienced a lot of respect.
Spider-Camden Punk’s origins were confirmed in the film, and the character’s British heritage was further supported by official sequel merchandise.
In Spider-Verse 2, What Function Does Spider-Punk Play?
It’s appropriate that Daniel Kaluuya is thrilled to present Spider-Punk to the world in Spider-Verse 2.
In fact, the character stands out among the crowded cast thanks to the Black Panther actor’s Camden roots and his passion for lending his voice to the Spider-Man spinoff.
Spider-Punk appears to be a member of the Spider Society that Oscar Isaac’s Miguel O’Hara put together to defend the Multiverse, aside from the love triangle story point in the sequel.
It’s probable that Miguel has more faith in him than Miles Morales because he’s a crucial component of the gang. As a result, a quarrel between Miles and Hobie Brown might also be highlighted, posing new difficulties for the title character of the sequel.
When Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse debuts in cinemas on June 2, viewers can watch Daniel Kaluuya’s portrayal of Spider-Punk.
