Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse delighted fans across the world with a cameo by Donald Glover as The Prowler. One of the film’s character designers, Kris Anka, has dropped new concept sketches for the character’s costume.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and its predecessor Into the Spider-Verse have quickly turned The Prowler into a favorite villain among fans. A cameo by Donald Glover in the now iconic role, an identity first teased back in Spider-Man: Homecoming, made theaters across the world erupt in cheers. Concept art for his costume has been revealed by character designer Kris Anka, showing off inspiration from racing suits and riot gear.
The graffiti logo may not have been something that many fans caught given the quick nature of Donald Glover’s cameo in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. However, it does make perfect sense given Aaron Davis, and by extension, The Prowler, are heavily connected to art and graffiti in the films. It’s unlikely we’ll be seeing Glover suit up as The Prowler again anytime soon, but this concept art does show how much of a labor of love that quick cameo truly was.

Thompson from a screenplay written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Dave Callaham, Across The Spider-Verse also features the voice talents of Jake Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jason Schwartzman, Rachel Dratch, Shea Whigham and Jorma Taccone.
