The newest installment of Spider-Man is getting some buzz recently thanks to the Donald Glover [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-lives-matter-a-peoples-history) campaign, which features the young 'Community' actor asking friends and family to retweet a specific hashtag. The actor claims to “truly love Spider-Man” and just wants the opportunity to audition for the legendary role.
