Kevin Feige Confirms That [SPOILER] Exists In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
The character in question is probably easily guessed but we're being extra careful just in case. This will be a MAJOR discussion point once Spider-Man: Homecoming officially hits theaters.
An official casting list from Sony spoiled that Donald Glover was playing Aaron Davis aka the Prowler, in Spider-Man: Homecoming and apparently Glover's character makes direct reference to his "nephew" in the film. As comic book readers know, in the Ultimate Universe, the Prowler is Miles Morales' uncle.
Speaking to Screen Crush, Kevin Feige addressed the subject of whether we'll actually ever see Miles on screen.
"All of those little things are just Easter eggs for fans until they’re something more than that. But anything that’s happened in the books is potential material for us. In the meantime, I think Miles is a big part of the animated movie that Sony’s making. But where we go ... we definitely want you to go “He’s there. He’s there somewhere.'"
It appears that Miles is just an Easter egg for now but if Marvel ever wishes to expand on this fun wink to the fans, they definitely can. As reported in an earlier article, Tom Holland is certainly game to mentor a young Miles Morales on screen, however many films down the line such an event would occur.
