Spider-Man star Tom Holland says he has "aspirations" of bringing Miles Morales to the MCU, but admits "we've got a lot of work to do"

Spider-Man star Tom Holland wants to see Miles Morales make his MCU debut.

While Miles is the main character of the animated Spider-Verse movies – and his uncle, played by Donald Glover, appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming – he has never appeared in the live-action MCU.

"I think at this point in time, we're being really open minded about what the future looks like," Holland told Hobby Consolas. "I know that I have aspirations to bring Miles Morales into the universe, however that works out. We've got a lot of work to do to bring that to life.

"But, yeah, I feel really strongly about – I feel incredibly grateful for the way I was introduced into this world and that I was shepherded by RDJ [Robert Downey Jr.]," he continued. "And I would love to kind of return that favor to the next generation of people that get the luxury of making these movies. So, that is definitely something that I'm really working towards."

This isn't the first time Holland has shared such a sentiment, either. "For whoever's next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter," he previously commented. "Whatever that looks like, I don't know. But if I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset."

Holland will next play Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring opposite the likes of Jon Bernthal's Punisher, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, and Sadie Sink's mystery character (though Marvel fans are convinced she's playing Jean Grey).

Brand New Day arrives this July 31. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else the MCU has in store.
