Miles Morales is coming to the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe — but fans will have to wait until 2027. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that Miles will make his MCU debut after Sony's animated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse hits theaters on June 18, 2027, according to ComingSoon.net.
The move is part of a long-term plan for the Spider-Man franchise. Feige and producer Amy Pascal have held deep discussions about the next two, three, four, and even five Spider-Man films, according to SuperHeroHype. Tom Holland's Peter Parker will continue to lead until Miles steps in.
Feige Sets 2027 as Miles Morales' MCU Start Date
Feige made clear that the animated Spider-Verse trilogy must finish first. Only after Beyond the Spider-Verse wraps up the animated story will Miles cross into live-action, according to AOL. The animated film is set for June 18, 2027, putting Miles's MCU debut sometime after that date.
Feige also pointed to a moment in Spider-Man: No Way Home as a possible early tease for Miles in the MCU. He acknowledged that the massive success of the Spider-Verse animated films has kept Miles's live-action future very much alive, Geo.tv reported.
Amy Pascal Said 'It's All Happening' Back in 2023
Producer Amy Pascal gave fans an early hint two years ago. She told Variety in 2023 that a live-action Miles Morales film was already in development. 'You'll see all of it. It's all happening,' Pascal said, according to SuperHeroHype.
Pascal and Feige have since built out a full roadmap for the franchise. Their talks cover multiple films beyond what is currently announced. The goal is to grow the Spider-Man universe well past its current size, according to ComingSoon.net.
Tom Holland Carries the Torch Until Miles Arrives
Holland's Peter Parker is not going anywhere yet. His next film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is set to hit theaters on July 30 of this year. The film will keep Peter Parker at the center of the MCU's Spider-Man story while Miles's animated arc plays out, according to AOL.
Feige also hinted that Avengers: Secret Wars could be one of Marvel's biggest films ever. The event film may even address a major unresolved problem in the MCU, possibly setting the table for Miles's eventual arrival, Newsy Today reported.
Miles Morales' Animated Roots Shaped His MCU Path
Miles Morales first appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in 2018. Voice actor Shameik Moore brought the character to life and has returned for both Across the Spider-Verse and the upcoming Beyond the Spider-Verse. The trilogy's global popularity gave Marvel the confidence to plan a live-action version, according to Geo.tv.
The animated films set a high bar. Into the Spider-Verse won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Across the Spider-Verse earned wide critical praise in 2023. Marvel is clearly waiting for the animated story to land its final punch before handing Miles to a live-action cast, ComingSoon.net reported.
