There are few characters as iconic as Spider-Man. Ever since his comic book debut back in 1962, the superhero quickly became a fan favorite that outgrew Peter Parker himself. Multiple people have taken over the mantle across the years, including Miguel O'Hara, Ben Reily, Otto Octavius, and the most popular of all: Miles Morales.
It would be an understatement to say that anticipation is at an all-time high for Miles to appear in aMarvel Cinematic Universemovie. Ever since his uncle, Aaron Davis, briefly showed up inSpider-Man: Homecoming, fans have been on the lookout for his nephew. Fortunately, that day will finally come if a new report is anything to go by.

Miles Morales will reportedly make his big screen debut in Spider-Man 4
According to scooperMarvel Update, Miles Morales, Rio Morales, and Jefferson Davis will all make their live-action debut inSpider-Man 4. At this point, Peter's next adventure sounds like a really crowded movie if we take into account all the different reports that have recently surfaced online. From Knull being thebig bad,to Andrew and Tobeyreturningfor the second time in a row, all the way to a variant of Emma Stone's Spider-Gwenmaking an appearance. Add Miles Morales to that list, and maybe there are a little too many characters in store. So if we were to believeallof these rumors turn out to be true, how could Sony pull such a movie off?
Perhaps we have a "Knull" scenario right here. The King in Black is too big of a character to have his complete arc told in one single film. Sony is well aware of that and, as a result, they'veconfirmedVenom: The Last Dancewill simply set him up for future projects.Spider-Man 4could follow the same road and let audiences get a glimpse of a powerless Miles Morales living with his family in Brooklyn. It doesn't have to be a lengthy sequence - it just needs to establish him as someone who's currently living and breathing in the MCU so that he can obtain his powers in a stand-alone project at a later point.
Fans have been eager for the Brooklyn teenager to save the day as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in a live-action project. After all, his character has stolen the spotlight in theSpider-Versemovies and theMarvel's Spider-Manvideo game franchise. In addition to that, there are countless comic books dedicated to his adventures since the death of Ultimate Spider-Man. So it's easy to see the MCU has fallen behind in this aspect.
The good news is, if Miles indeed appears inSpider-Man 4, then chances are he could return in eitherAvengers: DoomsdayorAvengers: Secret Wars. It's worth noting Earth's Mightiest Heroes' upcoming adventures will likely bring together every MCU superhero across the multiverse. So it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume we could see the wall-crawler there, alongside Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire's Peter Parkers.
Granted, it's always important to take all rumors with a grain of salt. But at this point, it just seems like a matter of time before Miles Morales suits up and saves the day alongside Peter Parker. With that in mind, would you like to see him as a cameo inSpider-Man 4? Or do you think a stand-alone project would suit him best? Let us know on oursocial media pages!
