Move over, Peter Parker: why live-action Spider-Man should go all in on Miles Morales

Miles Morales

It’s Miles Morales’ multiverse – and we’re just living in it. The increasingly popular Spider-Man, first introduced as part of Marvel’s Ultimate comics universe in the early 2010s, has Across the Spider-Verse on the way – and a starring role in Insomniac’s Spider-Man PS5 sequel later this year. If you believe Sony producer Amy Pascal, a live-action Miles Morales movie could be next.

Out of the three, it’s the live-action project which sets my Spidey-Senses tingling. Yes, there is the argument that Miles Morales already has his own space with the trilogy of Spider-Verse movies, but Miles finally deserves to swing into live-action – so he, and whoever plays him, can be a Spider-Man for a whole new generation of budding webheads in the same way Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland have been.
