Spider-Man Star Tom Holland Knows Exactly When Miles Morales Will Join the MCU

If you've been waiting for the day Miles Morales swings into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it sounds like that wait might finally have an end in sight.

While Marvel Studios still isn't officially talking, Spider-Man: Brand New Day star Tom Holland just dropped a very interesting tease that has fans looking toward the future of Spider-Man in the MCU.

Miles Morales has become one of Marvel's most popular heroes over the last decade. After making his debut as the Ultimate Universe's Spider-Man in the comics, he became a global fan favorite thanks to Sony's Spider-Verse animated films.

Because of that success, fans have been wondering for years when Marvel Studios would finally bring a live-action version of Miles into the fold.

Now Holland has made it pretty clear that the character's arrival isn't a question of if, but when. During a recent interview, Holland was asked, "What would be for you, as a Spider-Man fan, the first question you would ask today if you were sitting on my chair?"

His response was: "I guess it would be, 'when will we get Miles Morales?' would be the question I would ask. Because I know the answer."

That's all he was willing to say. Naturally, Holland wasn’t reveal any additional details, but the comment strongly suggests that Marvel already has a plan in place for Miles' live-action debut. Whether that's happening sooner than fans expect remains to be seen, but it certainly sounds like the wheels are already in motion.

One possibility is that Miles could finally arrive in Avengers: Secret Wars. The Multiverse Saga seems like the perfect opportunity to introduce another Spider-Man, especially if Marvel wants to begin setting up the next era of wall-crawlers.

Adding even more fuel to the speculation is the post-credits scene in Brand New Day. It reveals that Spider-Man is now off-world thanks to Ned Leeds' Spidey-Tracker. While the obvious assumption is that the signal belongs to Holland's Peter Parker, Marvel never actually confirms that's the case.

Some fans have suggested the tracker could instead be picking up Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. Of course, there's another possibility that has become much more interesting after Holland's latest comments. What if the signal belongs to Miles Morales?

It's just a theory for now, so we’ll just have to wait and see how things play out. Holland has also spoken before about eventually handing the Spider-Man mantle to another actor, making it clear that he's already thinking about what comes after his version of Peter Parker.

He previously said: "It's going to change for sure, but I have a really clear vision for the passing on of the baton, and I think it's really exciting. I know I get really excited when we have these meetings and chat about it. That is the thing that I want to do most in this character."

Whether Miles first appears in Avengers: Secret Wars, another Spider-Man film, or a completely different Marvel project, Holland's latest tease makes it seem like Marvel's long-awaited introduction of the beloved hero is already mapped out.

Now all that's left is for Marvel Studios to finally let the rest of us in on the secret.

So, when do you think Miles Morales will finally make his MCU debut?
