RUMOR: Miles Morales Could Be The Main SPIDER-MAN In Sony's Reboot Marvel Universe Post-SECRET WARS

According to an astonishing new rumour doing the rounds today, Sony Pictures is mulling over the possibility of making Miles Morales the main Spider-Man of its Marvel Universe post-Avengers: Secret Wars.

When Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios parted ways after Spider-Man: Far From Home, Sony executives immediately started making plans to continue the franchise without Kevin Feige's input.

We'll likely never know what that would have entailed. However, once both sides managed to get back on good terms, the wall-crawler found himself caught up in the Multiverse with 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home. That led to the return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their respective Peter Parker Variants, not to mention some familiar villains. 

Sony tried to get in on the Multiversal action with Morbius. However, after cutting several confusing nods to Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise, the studio settled for one of the worst post-credits scenes ever which saw the Living Vampire meet The Vulture. 

The idea of Venom fighting Spider-Man was teased but never followed up on and Sony has now given up on its slate of Marvel spin-offs. Instead, the studio will focus on Spider-Man 4, the long-delayed Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, and Amazon/MGM's Spider-Noir TV series.

Beyond that? Well, it sounds like Sony's Marvel Universe will get its own Spider-Man post-Avengers: Secret Wars

Talking about Miles Morales not being part of the MCU's Champions in a recent Q&A, The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez said, "[The reason] why, is Miles (according to [the] information I currently have, so please take this with a grain of salt) is going to be set in a rebooted Sony Universe that’s set to be established after Secret Wars."

This raises a lot of questions. Chief among them is whether Marvel Studios will have any creative involvement or whether Sony is looking to piggyback on what many expect to be a soft reboot for the MCU after Secret Wars

While many fans would have liked to see Miles on the Sacred Timeline, there's something to be said for establishing him in a separate universe and building to a crossover similar to the hugely popular Spider-Men comic book event. 

In recent interviews, Tom Holland has been careful not to give too much away about Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man 4 plans. He has, of course, repeatedly expressed interest in bringing Miles Morales into the MCU. 

"If I would be lucky enough to somehow bring Miles Morales into my Spider-Man Universe and into the MCU, I’d love to do for a young kid what [Robert] Downey [Jr.] did for me," the actor teased, hinting at a possible future team-up.

@AllsNotGood - You're correct he isn't Spiderman, he's Spider-Man is more accurate.

@AllsNotGood - the name "miles morales" is more of a mantle then an actual person and it's about time people start accepting that fact

@AllsNotGood - Well I can tell you the official Marvel.com website does list Miles Morales as Spider-Man so....he is definitely Spider-Man.

Reparations. Fictional Peter Parker's Great Great Great Grandfather's neighbor's landlord owned Miles's Great Great Great Grandfather as a slave.

@AllsNotGood - He’s not Peter Parker but has certainly proven himself as an awesome Spider-Man.

Well, Holland said he wants to quit acting in a few years so not unbelievable

@ThorArms - but in this instance it's separate from Tom's Spider-Man. This is Miles being the Sony Spider-Man while Tom is hanging out in the MCU

@ThorArms - They could just replace Tom Holland as Peter Parker. He's had more than his time in the suit, what with 4 solo movies and a number of appearances in other movies including 4 Avengers movies.

Maguire only got three movies. Garfield only got two.

That makes sense. Now just get competent people to build movies for the character.

@thedrudo - I dont trust Sony with ANY Spiderman thats not animated.

@Clintthahamster - yep

Also put Lord & Miller in charge to oversee this new direction since they are already involved with Spider Noir (which I hope turns out well).
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 2/5/2025, 11:28 AM
Actually, come to think of it, put Donald Glover in charge of The Sony Pictures Universe of Spider-Man Movies Starring Miles Morales and Related Characters (SPUSMMSMMARC.) Let's get nuts.

@TheVisionary25 - Another very good idea.

TheVisionary25 - 2/5/2025, 11:26 AM
Honestly if they make better & well crafted films then the ones we got recently , I would be fine with Miles being Sony’s Spider Man while we continue with Peter (if Holland wants) in the MCU.

If this is all true then going in this direction with Miles aswell as focusing on various Spider variants & their worlds to me feels like what they should have done from the beginning.

@TheVisionary25 - I think we might get the Spider-Island story adapted honestly.

Now this is what I'm talking about.

Let's get some more ethnic leads

And more importantly, let's move on from Peter.

He's one character that he's been done over and over again and, to be honest, he's not Batman, no one gets tired of Bruce Wayne/Batman but Peter Parker/Spiderman has run his course, especially now we have seen Miles in action.

Let's get the chocolate flowing

For [frick]s sake

@THEKENDOMAN - "Peter Parker/Spiderman has run his course"

I might have disagreed with you before No Way Home, but having all three Spideys at once . . . that's enough. Let Holland finish his run, and then let's give Miles the baton for a while.
