Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is absolutely jam-packed with fan-serving cameos, the most surprising of which is surely a live-action appearance by Donald Glover as Aaron Davis aka The Prowler.

Glover's Davis is briefly visible when Miles (Shameik Moore) first visits the Spider-Society, where Davis has been imprisoned by Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac).

This is an especially amusing cameo given that, of course, Glover briefly played Davis in the MCU's Spider-Man: Homecoming, suggesting that he's playing the same character across both movies.

Beyond that, Glover was widely campaigned to portray Spider-Man in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, voiced Miles in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, and a clip of him wearing Spider-Man pyjamas from an episode of Community also briefly appeared on a TV screen in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

While the fusion of animated and live-action elements was certainly risky, it absolutely paid off with one of the movie's most giddy surprises.
