Which actor voiced Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse?

Mahershala Ali voiced Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Aaron Davis is Miles Morales’s uncle and a skilled criminal who operates as the Prowler. His relationship with Miles gives the film one of its most emotionally difficult storylines: Miles admires his uncle, but later discovers that Aaron is working for Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin. The revelation forces Miles to confront the conflict between family loyalty and the responsibilities of becoming Spider-Man.

Ali’s performance is heard in a relatively limited number of scenes, yet the character has a major impact on Miles’s emotional development. Aaron’s role also connects the film’s personal drama to its larger superhero conflict, since his criminal work supports Kingpin’s plans to open a dimensional collider.

Ali is an Oscar-winning actor known for Moonlight and Green Book. In the film’s voice cast, he appears alongside Shameik Moore as Miles, Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker, Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy and Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis.
