EXCLUSIVE: Bryshere “Yazz” Gray Talks Wanting To Star As Marvel’s Spider-Man/Miles Morales

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) The tale of Marvel superhero Spider-Man has been transformed into several motion pictures. Over the years, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland have been tapped to portray the web slinger and his secret identity Peter Parker on the big screen.

One young actor has taken it upon himself to openly campaign for the chance to put on Miles’ mask. Bryshere “Yazz” Gray appeared in full Spidey costume for a December 2015 edition of Paper magazine. In addition, the entertainer best known for his portrayal of Hakeem Lyon on Empire posted a photo of himself as Morales on Twitter with the hashtag #Yazz4Spiderman.

I wish,” Yazz tells AllHipHop.com when asked if Marvel Entertainment reached out to him after the Paper spread. “I feel like true comic fans want to see the Miles Morales story, and I feel like I could bring that character to life and make it entertaining.” He continued, “I feel like the fans want that, but we’re just going to see what happens. If they make the Miles Morales story, I hope I’m considered.” If Marvel does decide to make a movie or television series about Miles Morales in the near future, Yazz may have to compete against fellow actor/rapper Donald “Childish Gambino” Glover for the role. Glover was selected to voice Morales on Disney XD’s Ultimate Spider-Man. The former Community star has also been very vocal about wanting to play the iconic pop culture character in a live action film.

EXCLUSIVE: Bryshere “Yazz” Gray Talks Playing Michael Bivins In BET’s New Edition Biopic

(AllHipHop Features) Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph, and Johnny are getting the biopic treatment. BET announced the members of the Boston-bred R&B group New Edition will be the subject of an upcoming miniseries about their careers, and Empire star Bryshere “Yazz” Gray was tapped to play New Jack Swing pioneer Michael Bivins. [ALSO READ: BET To Premiere A New Edition Biopic] Gray is part of a cast that includes Keith Powers (Ronnie DeVoe), Woody McClain (Bobby Brown), Elijah Kelley (Ricky Bell), Algee Smith (Ralph Tresvant), and Luke James (Johnny Gill). AllHipHop.com spoke with the 22-year-old rapper/actor by phone from rehearsals for the New Edition miniseries, and Yazz discussed his preparation for taking on the role of Biv. “I’ve been working with a dialect coach. I went to Boston for about four weeks to really live that Boston life to understand where Michael came from,” says Gray. “I was just learning a lot about him, so I can take that home with me. It’s fun.” In order to perfect the singing, rapping, and dancing associated with hit records such as “Cool It Now” and “If It Isn’t Love,” Gray and the other performers have been practicing for twelve hours a day. The opportunity to present the story of the founding member of Bell Biv DeVoe was a special assignment for Yazz. “What made me interested in the project? Anything that’s legendary I want to be part of. I had to be part of it,” adds Gray. “Michael Bivins is the character that stuck out to me from day 1 when I heard New Edition. I was really lucky for them to have me play Michael Bivins, because I love New Edition so much.” According to Gray, the 3-part biographical movie will cover New Edition from their childhood into the their 30’s. Dante Hoagland (Bivins), Caleb McLaughlin (Bell), Jahi Winston (Tresvant), Myles Truitt (DeVoe), and Tyler Williams (Brown) are set to portray the singers in their younger days. New Edition: The Movie is scheduled to premiere in 2017. All the members of New Edition are signed on as co-producers. The script was written by Abdul Williams (Lottery Ticket) with Chris Robinson (ATL) directing. Yazz’s talents will also be part of the Empire: Original Soundtrack, Season 2 Volume 2 album being released on April 29. AllHipHop.com recently premiered “Got That Work,” the Philadelphia native’s single from the forthcoming compilation.
