Kevin Feige has confirmed the MCU has plans to bring Miles Morales into live-action, but not until Sony’s animated Spider-Versefranchise wraps up.
The Marvel Studios boss said the studio is eyeing a live-action appearance for the character once Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verseconcludes the animated trilogy on 18 June, 2027.
Speaking to China’s Watching Hollywood, Feige explained the timing: “The good news is, Sony has the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseseries, which are very popular and excellent, and Beyond the Spider-Verseis coming out next year.
But yes, we definitely have plans [for a live-action Miles], and I think a live-action Spider-Manmovie has this destiny: to add Miles sometime after the Spider-Verseseries ends.”
Miles Morales made his big-screen debut in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseand returned in 2023’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, with Shameik Moore voicing the character both times.
Moore reprises the role once more in Beyond the Spider-Verse, which finds Miles stranded in an alternate universe while trying to save his family.
Fans got a possible hint of Miles’s live-action future in Spider-Man: No Way Home, when Tom Holland’s Peter Parker crossed paths with Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s earlier incarnations of the character.
In that film, Jamie Foxx’s Electro remarks that there’s bound to be a Black Spider-Man somewhere in the multiverse, a line Feige said resonated strongly with audiences as a possible tease.
Feige also revealed that plans for future Spider-Manstories are already taking shape behind the scenes, regardless of existing agreements or contracts: production partner Amy Pascal is deep into early discussions about what the next several Spider-Manfilms could look like.
Pascal herself confirmed back in 2023 that a live-action Miles Morales movie was in development, telling Varietyat the time, “You’ll see all of it. It’s all happening.”
In the meantime, Holland’s Peter Parker returns for his fourth solo outing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which hits theatres 30 July.
