Sony's Spider-Man universe is reportedly expanding with a new film featuring a live-action Miles Morales. While Marvel continues its Spider-Man franchise, Sony is forging ahead with its own plans, potentially introducing the popular character from the acclaimed animated films into its live-action universe.
Industry sources indicate that Sony is actively seeking an actor to portray Miles Morales. The character's inclusion could be in a standalone film or a cameo in an existing Sony Spider-Man project, though the latter seems more likely. This development follows producer Amy Pascal's previous comments expressing interest in a live-action Miles Morales. Speculation points to Shameik Moore, the voice actor from the animated films, or Hailee Steinfeld, who voiced Gwen Stacy, as potential candidates, both having previously expressed interest in live-action roles.
Sony's Spider-Man Universe has had mixed success. While the Venom films performed well, others like Madame Web and Morbius underwhelmed at the box office. The introduction of a live-action Miles Morales, however, could revitalize the franchise, particularly if executed well. The success of the animated Spider-Man films demonstrates Sony's capability with the character, but concerns remain about their ability to replicate that success in live-action. Fans are hopeful that Sony will assemble a creative team capable of delivering a film that meets expectations and does justice to this beloved character. The future of this project remains uncertain, and fans eagerly await further announcements.
