Aladdin/Hamilton's James Monroe Iglehart to Write Spider-Man For Marvel Comics

James Monroe Iglehart won a Tony Award for his performance as the Genie in the original Broadway production of Aladdin. He also took on the role of Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in the Broadway company of Hamilton in April 2017. You may have also seen him pop up in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as Coriolanus Burt.
