Fans of Community actor Donald Glover have an ongoing grassroots campaign under way to get him cast as one of the title characters in producer Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles reboot. (The Teenage Mutant part has been dropped from the film's title.)

Glover's fans on Twitter want him to play Donatello in the Jonathan Liebesman-directed film, but Glover says he'd rather play Raphael because he's cooler.

"He and Leonardo was always an alpha male-omega male kind of thing, where they would fight each other a lot because Leonardo was deemed the leader, the oldest," Glover recently told MTV.

He continued, "Donatello was kind of left out in the cold. He's kind of the middle kid. ... He was the smart one. He solved the problems, but that's not interesting. Nobody wants to be Professor X. No, everyone wants to be Wolverine. I want to be cool, not smart."

Still, Glover said he wouldn't dismiss the offer out of hand if it ever did come his way: "If someone said, 'Oh, you want to be Donatello?' Yeah, I'll take that. I'm not going to be like, 'No, I'm holding out for Raphael.'"
