Will Lord and Miller's Animated Spider-Man Movie Feature Miles Morales?

The short answer to the headline: we don't know for sure. But Heroic Hollywood certainly claims that half black, half Puerto Rican character Miles Morales will be slinging webs as Spider-Man in Phil Lord and Chris Miller's animated Spidey movie for Sony. They also have two working titles for the movie: Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man, and The Ultimate Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

Lord and Miller had to bail on directing the project when they picked up directing duties on the young Han Solo movie for Lucasfilm, but they're still writing and producing the movie, so I expect we'll be able to feel a lot of their influence when the film hits theaters on December 21st, 2018.

It would have been so cool to see Morales make his live-action debut in Civil War, but seeing him in animated form is certainly better than not at all. We certainly don't need yet another Peter Parker wandering around, especially since it's already been announced that this movie will not take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I wonder if they'll call Donald Glover to provide his voice...he may be a little too old for what they're going for now, but it'd be cool for him to pop up in one form or another.

What do you think? Excited about possibly seeing Miles Morales take on the Spidey mantle on the big screen?
