Karan Soni is making the leap into the animated world of Marvel films, with One Take News reporting that the actor is set to voice the role of Spider-Man India in the upcoming Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
According to the report, Soni is set to play the role of Pavitr Prabhakar, also known as Spider-Man India. Soni will join a cast that includes a star-studded list, including Oscar Isaac, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Issa Rae, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham, Jason Schwartzman, and Daniel Kaluuya.
While we haven’t seen much of Spider-Man India in the promotional material of the upcoming film, Funko’s reveal of its Funko Pops for the movie did include a figure of Spider-Man India. Soni is no stranger to the world of Marvel films, having also appeared in both Deadpool films as Dopinder, a taxi driver that befriends Deadpool and becomes something of a friend and confidant to the character.
“Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” reads the synopsis. “After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.”
The film is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. It stars Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham, and Oscar Isaac.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is produced by Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Christina Steinberg with Alonzo Ruvalcaba. The first film’s director, Peter Ramsey, and Aditya Sood are executive producing.
