The wait for Miles Morales’ live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been a long one for comic book fans. While the possibility was first teased in 2017’s ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming,’ with the brief appearance of Miles’ uncle, Aaron Davis, the anticipation for his official arrival has only grown stronger with his success in the ‘Spider-Man’ video games and the critically acclaimed animated films ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ and ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.’
Now, after years of waiting, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has finally offered a glimmer of hope. In a recent interview with Omelete, Feige hinted that Miles might join the MCU after the release of Sony’s third Spider-Verse film, ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.’ Although the release date for this film remains uncertain, Feige’s comment suggests that Miles’ live-action appearance in the MCU is not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when.’
Feige’s enthusiasm for bringing Miles to the MCU is shared by Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker in the current Spider-Man films. In an interview with Rich Roll, Holland expressed his desire to introduce Miles to the MCU, seeing it as a way to mentor a young hero, much like Robert Downey Jr. did for him. This shared excitement from both Feige and Holland adds to the growing anticipation for Miles’ arrival in the MCU.
While the exact timing of Miles’ MCU debut remains shrouded in mystery, the possibility of his arrival is exciting for both fans and creators alike. With the success of the Spider-Verse films and the continued popularity of Miles Morales as a character, his entrance into the MCU seems inevitable. The question now is not if, but when we will see Miles Morales swing onto the big screen in the MCU, and what adventures he will embark on alongside his fellow Spider-heroes.
