Although Marvel has largely taken over the spotlight with the Spider-Man franchise, Sony is not backing down. According to recent rumors, Sony is developing another Spider-Man movie. Even more exciting, they plan to introduce a live-action appearance of one of the franchise's most beloved characters.

Spider-Man: Best Versions Of Miles Morales, Ranked

Mile Morales has had a few different versions in the Spider-Man universe. Here's how the best of them rank up against each other.

While Marvel is gearing up for the production of the fourth Spider-Man installment, Sony is also reportedly moving forward, but in a different direction than fans might expect. Industry insider Jeff Sneider revealed on this week's episode of The Hot Mic podcast that Sony is looking to cast an actor to play Miles Morales in their next Spider-Man movie. It remains unclear whether Miles will have his own standalone live-action movie or appear in another related movie, but this scoop certainly sounds promising.

Miles Morales was first introduced in Sony's animated Spider-Man movies, where he was voiced by Shameik Moore. The character quickly became a fan favorite, with both animated movies achieving incredible success and numerous awards. Given this popularity, a live-action adaptation of Miles Morales seems inevitable. Producer Amy Pascal confirmed Sony's interest in a live-action Miles a few years ago, and now it appears those plans are moving forward. While it is unclear whether Miles will star in his own standalone film or appear in another movie within Sony's Spider-Man Universe, the latter seems more likely at this point. Speculation suggests that Miles could be introduced in another Spider-Man movie that Sony is secretly developing or potentially in the previously rumored Spider-Gwen movie. On The Hot Mic podcast, Jeff Sneider did not specify any potential contenders for the role, only mentioning that Sony is searching for the perfect fit. However, Spider-Man fans speculate that Shameik Moore, who has voiced Miles in the animated movies and expressed interest in a live-action role, could be a strong candidate. Similarly, Hailee Steinfeld, who voiced Gwen in the Spider-Verse movies, has also shown interest in a live-action adaptation.

While Sony has enjoyed success with their Spider-Man movies, the same cannot be said for the rest of Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Aside from the Venom movies, the rest of the franchise has struggled, with both Madame Web and Morbius proving to be box-office flops. However, if a live-action Spider-Verse movie, especially one focused on Miles, makes it to the big screen, it could potentially restore the franchise's former glory if they have the right team behind it. Sony has demonstrated their ability to handle the character effectively through their animated project, but fans remain skeptical about their live-action efforts. There is a prevailing concern that Sony might mishandle such a beloved character, and some believe Marvel might be better suited for this production. Fans hope that the studio will bring in the right creative minds to do justice to Miles Morales. For now, it is a waiting game to see how Sony will proceed and whether they can overcome past missteps to deliver a movie that lives up to fans' high expectations.
