Will Spider-Man 3 Add Miles Morales to Its Big Mix of Multiverse Characters?

Now, as is usually the case with these things, keep the salt within reaching distance, but rumors are now beginning to circulate thatSpider-Man 3will see alternate web-slinger Miles Morales introduced to the MCU, with sources claiming that Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have already found an actor to portray the beloved character.

While the rumor does not outright state thatSpider-Man 3will be the launching point for the live-actionMiles Morales, this would certainly make sense, no doubt with the intention to give Miles solo adventures somewhere down the line. Much like Peter Parker, Miles is caught up in the web-like deal made between Sony and Marvel that allows the latter to use the characters, so introducing him in aSpider-Mansequel would be the easiest way forward.

Besides, we already know that Miles exists in theMCUthanks to 2017’sSpider-Man: Homecoming, with Donald Glover as Miles' Uncle Aaron namedropping the future wallcrawler in a deleted scene.

Thanks to the inclusion of bothJamie Foxx’s Electro, and Benedict Cumberbatch’sDoctor Strange, fans have been left to speculate as to who else might be folded into Marvel and Sony’sSpider-Man 3, with many positing that the sequel will introduce the live-action comic book world to the multiverse. As well as Miles Morales, this wild conjecture has led to several rumors regarding characters that could be dropped intoSpider-Man 3, including Tom Hardy’sVenomand Vincent D’Onofrio’sDaredevilvillain, Kingpin.

Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange will reportedly be taking on thementor rolethat was previously occupied by Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. Cumberbatch recently revealed that filming on theDoctor Strangesequel,Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is set to start very soon. “I’m in pre-production with the second Dr. Strange film, which is very exciting. We will start filming in late October or early November,” the actor recently revealed.

Of course, this would not be the first time that Miles Morales has had to tackle with multiverse madness, with the character making his big-screen debut in 2018’s Oscar-winningSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Whether we will see the live-action Miles anytime soon remains to be soon, but we will be seeing him again in animated form, with production on the highly anticipated sequel having now begun. Pixar animator Octavio Rodriguez took to social media recently to confirm both his hiring for the project and to tease progress onSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2by simply saying, " Here we go…#headofstory #film #animation #sony."

Production onSpider-Man 3started up again recently and is due to begin filming in Peter Parker’s home town of New York City. Originally,Spider-Man 3was set for a release date of June 09, 2025, as part of the much-anticipated Phase 4 of the MCU. However, due to the ongoing global circumstances, the entire Phase has now been dramatically pushed back as a result ofBlack Widowbeing delayed to November 6. The current plan is to haveSpider-Man 3swing into UK and US cinemas on August 04, 2025.Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2meanwhile is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 17, 2025.
