Marvel planning five more Spider-Man films, including live-action Miles Morales

Marvel boss Kevin Feige says there's plenty more Spider-Man on the way.

"The good news is, Sony has the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse series, which are very popular and excellent, and Beyond the Universe is coming out next year," Feige said in an interview with Shanghai media outlet Watching Hollywood . "But yes, we definitely have plans, and I think a live-action Spider-Man movie has this destiny: to add Miles sometime after the Spider-Verse series ends. We've been thinking and discussing more Spider-Man adventures, regardless of agreements or contracts. My production partner, Amy Pascal, is already working on it, and we've had in-depth discussions about what the next two, three, four, and five Spider-Man movies might be about."

Fans have been demanding a live-action Miles Morales movie since Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was first released. It didn't seem like a possibility until Spider-Man: No Way Home introduced the possibility of more than one Spider-Man co-existing in the MCU, albeit living in different universes.

There's also a nod to Miles in No Way Home: In one scene, Electro (Jamie Foxx) finally sees the Spider-Man from his universe, Andrew Garfield, unmasked. In a funny but touching way (that was apparently improvised), Electro says, "You're from Queens, you got that suit, you help poor people... I just thought you was gonna be black." Garfield's Spidey apologizes, to which Electro says, "There's gotta be a black Spider-Man out there somewhere." Spidey's enthusiastic nod and smile in that moment led a lot of fans to believe that a Miles Morales movie was inevitable.

There are also some rumors that Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin has been cast, or at least is in the running, as Miles Morales due to the fact that he refuses to do the classic Spider-Man web-slinging pose at conventions . Other popular fan-casts include Miles Brown, who led the show Black-ish from 2014-2022, and Myles Truitt, who had a recurring role on Stranger Things season 4.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters on July 31. In the meantime, get up to speed on the rest of Marvel Phase 6 with our guide to the other upcoming Marvel movies and shows .
