Miles Morales set to swing into live-action MCU, says Kevin Feige
Los Angeles, July 23
Fans may soon find Miles Morales, the beloved protagonist of the animated "Spider-Verse" films, swinging by the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Morales is set to make his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), according to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.
In an interview with 'Deadline', Feige indicated that the studio intends to introduce Spider-Man's Black alter ego in a live-action appearance in a future film; however, only after he is done with saving the world in the Sony Pictures' animated trilogy.
The final film in the animated franchise, 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse', is set to hit theatres on June 18, 2027.
"The good news is, Sony has the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse series, which are very popular and excellent, and Beyond the Spider-Verse is coming out next year. But yes, we definitely have plans for a live-action Miles, and I think a live-action Spider-Man movie has this destiny: to add Miles sometime after the Spider-Verse series ends," Feige said in a recent interview to 'Deadline'.
Following Morales' big-screen debut in 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', the character appeared in 2023's 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'. Shameik Moore reprises his voice role as the Marvel web-slinger in the upcoming film.
It will show Miles trapped in an alternate universe and on the run while trying to save his family.
Referring to Tom Holland starrer 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', when Jamie Foxx's Electro teased, "Somewhere there's bound to be a Black Spider-Man", Feige further continued, "Audiences around the world were thrilled because they knew it might be a hint at Spider-Man Miles."
"We've been thinking and discussing more Spider-Man adventures, regardless of agreements or contracts. My production partner, Amy Pascal, is already working on it, and we've had in-depth discussions about what the next two, three, four, and five Spider-Man movies might be about," he added.
In the meantime, Tom Holland's Peter Parker is also returning for the much-awaited 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', which is set to hit theatres on July 31.

As a huge fan of the animated films, I'm cautiously optimistic. Live-action superhero movies often lose the charm of animation, but Feige seems to have a solid plan. Plus, that Electro tease in No Way Home was brilliant.
Yaar, I'm excited but also worried. Tom Holland ka Peter Parker is still young, and now they're adding Miles too? Hope they don't sideline Peter. But if done right, this could be the best Spider-Man era ever! 🇮🇳💪
Honestly, the Spider-Verse films are masterpieces. I'm glad they're letting that trilogy finish before jumping into live-action Miles. Feige's track record speaks for itself—let's see if they can capture the same energy.
Beta, why can't they just focus on one Spider-Man at a time? But I guess more diversity is good for the new generation. Just hope the writing doesn't get too complicated like some recent MCU projects. 🤞
This is huge! I remember watching Into the Spider-Verse in the theatre and thinking, 'Wow, Miles deserves more screen time.' Plus, it's cool that they're acknowledging the black Spider-Man hint from No Way Home. Can't wait to see who plays him in live-action! 🎉
