Pavitra Prabhakar as Indian Spiderman
According to the entertainment website Deadline, Spider-Man India was first introduced to Marvel Comics in 2004 and came of age in the South Asian country as Pavitr Prabhakar, beginning to fight crime after gaining his spidey powers from an ancient yogi. The character’s story arc mirrors that of Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) in most respects.
With regards to the third “Deadpool” film, Soni’s involvement is currently unknown. The actor’s film credits include “The People We Hate at the Wedding” and “Four Samosas”.
