Sony’s Animated SPIDER-MAN Film Will Feature Miles Morales
Sony Pictures Animation has officially announced that their upcoming animated Spider-Man movie will focus on fan-favorite Miles Morales and not on Peter Parker. There's been speculation that this would be the case since the animated Spider-Man movie was first announced. It's now 100% solidified, and it makes complete sense that they would center the story around this character because Peter Parker has been done to death. Now all Sony needs to do is cast Donald Glover to voice the character!
There's actually a good chance of getting Glover on board because the writers and producers of the film, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, will already be working with the actor on the Han Solo film. The animated Spider-Man movie will be directed by Bob Persichetti (The Little Prince) and Peter Ramsey (Rise of the Guardians).
Miles Morales is a great character who was created by Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli and made his Marvel Comics debut in Ultimate Fallout #4 following the death of Peter Parker. The character has some of the same powers as the original Spider-Man, but he is also capable of briefly turning invisible and a venom sting that can paralyze his foes. He now fights alongside an adult Peter Parker in the Marvel Universe.
The animated Spider-Man film will swing into theaters on December 21, 2018.
