Caleb McLaughlin Reacts to Miles Morales MCU Casting Rumors Saying, "I Would Love to Play Him"
Caleb McLaughlin just wrapped up his nine year stint playing Lucas on the fan-favorite Netflix series Stranger Things. This week, the animated movie GOAT is hitting theaters, in which the actor voices a little goat who dreams of playing professional roarball.
So what’s next for McLaughlin? If he and the fans have anything to say about it, he will be playing Miles Morales in the MCU.
It’s been rumored that McLaughlin was in the running to take on the multiversal Spider-Man character, and when asked about the fan casting, the actor told Variety during a red carpet event for GOAT:
“I would love to play [him]. I think Miles represents something bigger than myself, bigger than most people. Also being from New York, and seeing the Spider-Verse story, it’s really connected [with me].”
It seems with the upcoming Avengers films, anything is possible, and I foresee a big shakeup coming with the introduction of new characters, and possibly a farewell to some of our old favorites.
But as always, we will just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
