English actor Daniel Kaluuya has joined the cast of the upcoming superhero movie 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse', as per The Hollywood Reporter. The actor, best known for movies like 'Get Out' and 'Judas and the Black Messiah', will don the role of Spider-Punk, an alternate, punk-rock-inspired version of Spidey who fights for the downtrodden against the forces of Norman Osborn. His real name is Hobart Brown. He is a fairly new version of Spidey, who appeared in 2015. He was created by writer Dan Slott and artist Olivier Coipel.

'Across the Spider-Verse', directed by Justin K. Thompson, Joaquim Dos Santos, and Kemp Powers, is the sequel to 2018's 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'. The original introduced Miles Morales, a teenager who gets Spider-Man's powers after his reality's original Spidey (Peter Parker) dies.
