![For The First Time, Spider-Noir Actor Lamorne Morris Talks About Making Marvel History [Exclusive] - SlashFilm](https://www.mogazmasr.com/uploads/2026/05/29/lamorne-morris-c1cfc1f8_800w.webp)
Lamorne Morris thinks Robbie Robertson and Jake Johnson's Peter B. Parker would get along if Spider-Noir ever pulls them into the same story. Asked whether his character would click with Johnson's version of the web-slinger, Morris gave a blunt answer before backing into a laugh: Jake Johnson's interpretation of Peter Parker is stupid. No, I was speaking of Jake. I'm sorry.
The exchange came as Morris discussed Robbie, the ambitious freelance journalist he plays in Spider-Noir, the live-action take on the 1930s detective drama-inspired web franchise. Morris said Robbie is all business on the professional side, a journalist with integrity who has no time for shenanigans. Peter B. Parker, by contrast, is a man from another universe who is “kind of on the fence” about what he is supposed to be doing, and that makes him a little bit of a fish out of water. Robbie's job, Morris said, would be to get that person back on track.
That comparison lands because Johnson already has a place in the Spider-Verse. He voiced Peter B. Parker in 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and the character was later shown in 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to have reconciled with Mary Jane Watson and to have a child with her. Morris is now stepping into a corner of the same universe through Spider-Noir, where Nicolas Cage portrays a live-action version of the same 1930s-inspired webslinger he once voiced in animation.
Robbie Robertson also comes with a long comics history. The character, introduced as Joseph Robbie Robertson in The Amazing Spider-Man #51 in 1967, was a Daily Bugle reporter and a mentor figure for Peter Parker. In Spider-Noir, he is described as an ambitious freelance journalist, which makes Morris's read of him as disciplined and purposeful fit neatly with the role's comic roots.
There is a small wrinkle in the crossover chatter. Morris did not describe Robbie and Peter as identical characters, only as people who might work because one is trying to solve a case and the other is drifting a bit until someone points him in the right direction. The suggestion is less about a formal team-up than about the kind of chemistry that could make one possible. Still, the idea has an easy logic to it: a grounded reporter with integrity and a wandering Spider-Man from another universe could make an odd but useful pair.
Morris is not new to comic book adaptations. He made his debut in the genre opposite Vin Diesel as Wilfred Wigans in Bloodshot in 2020, and his Spider-Noir comments show he is already thinking about how these characters fit together. That instinct also links him to another New Girl alum, Johnson, whose Spider-Man role has already carried him from animation into the wider Spider-Verse. Whether that pairing ever moves beyond a passing remark, Morris has made his view plain: Robbie Robertson would probably keep Peter B. Parker focused, and Peter would probably need it.
