Sony's Spider-Man Universe is reportedly expanding with a new live-action film featuring a beloved character. While Marvel continues its Spider-Man franchise, Sony is forging ahead with its own project. Industry reports indicate Sony is actively seeking an actor to portray Miles Morales.
The possibility of a live-action Miles Morales has been hinted at before, following the immense success of the animated Spider-Man films where Shameik Moore voiced the character. His popularity makes a live-action version almost certain. Producer Amy Pascal previously confirmed Sony's interest, and now casting is underway. Whether Miles will receive his own standalone film or appear in another Sony Spider-Man Universe movie remains to be seen, with speculation leaning towards the latter. He might debut in a currently unannounced Spider-Man film or even the rumored Spider-Gwen movie. While no actors have been officially named, fan speculation points to Moore, given his previous work and expressed interest, and Hailee Steinfeld, who voiced Gwen Stacy in the animated films, as potential candidates.
Sony's Spider-Man Universe has had mixed success. While Venom performed well, films like Madame Web and Morbius underperformed. A successful live-action Spider-Verse movie, particularly one centered on Miles Morales, could revitalize the franchise, but concerns remain about Sony's ability to handle such a popular character after previous live-action missteps. Many fans hope Sony will choose the right creative team to do justice to Miles Morales. The future of this project remains uncertain, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further developments.
