The days are counting down toward next month’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, and the trailers, tv spots, and rumors continue to roll in faster than a rapid-fire web thwip. The newest rumor states that Sony is currently developing a live-action Miles Morales movie as one of its many Spiderverse-related projects.

In a recent report via his Patreon, industry insider Daniel Richtman stated that Sony Pictures is currently working on a live-action movie surrounding the African American/Puerto-Rican Spider-Man character. While its not currently known what stage this project is in, the idea is a no-brainer.

Miles Morales has been a fan-favorite character for over a decade now, and has recently experienced an absolute flood of popularity during recent years. Between the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, its upcoming sequel, and the incredible Playstation video game franchise, Sony has been making bank on the character lately, and it was only a matter of time before they announced a live-action film.

With Far From Home diving into the multiverse and introducing past iterations of the Spider-Man character played by Tobey McGuire and Andrew Garfield, fans are hoping for an introduction to Miles Morales as well. Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first film of Sony/Marvel’s collaboration, featured a nod to the character by introducing the audience to his uncle Aaron Davis, played by actor Donald Glover. Fans saw this as a sure sign that the character would eventually be introduced, but as-of-yet, we haven’t heard any other mentions or allusions to him. It’s unsure if he will be in next month’s movie, but I certainly would not be surprised.

Though the film is set to feature around Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and his variants, I would be on the lookout for setups and references to Miles Morales, as well as Spider-Gwen and other Sony characters for that matter. Sony has announced a slew of new projects (Kraven the Hunter, Olivia Wilde’s female-focused movie, etc.), and I doubt they would miss the opportunity to hype fans up for everything else they have up their sleeve. Not only would a Miles Morales led movie be guaranteed to make a profit, but it would cross-promote Sony’s animated films and video game franchises to the point where they could probably start printing their own money.
