The original version of Donald Glover's cameo in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was completely different.
Speaking to Collider, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's directors revealed that a "South Park-style cardboard cutout of Donald Glover" was in play for the actor's cameo before he agreed to do it.
There were several things in those previews that we hadn't really sorted out yet, like you guys probably remember the Donald Glover cameo & he hadn't agreed to do it yet. So in the preview, we had, like, a South Park -style cardboard cutout of Donald Glover. He was like, “Hai, I'm Donald Glover,” and he was just like a flappy head, and everyone was cracking up. I'm like, “Is anyone gonna call Donald Glover and see if he's gonna do this cameo?” We recorded him just a few weeks before the film came out, so it was kind of crazy because it was like, the film still wasn't quite all there, but it was there. That was a story we knew we were trying to tell, so I started feeling pretty good about it then.
