Now that there's been a resurgence of rumors about Donald Glover and Spider-Man, the "Today Show" used their recent chat with the former "Community" actor to ask him about Marvel's wall-crawler.

I mean, it's not out yet... There's been talkings about it. I mean, I'd be honored to play it. It's really not up to me."
