Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse Is Even More Important After Kevin Feige’s Miles Morales MCU Debut Condition

:0:0

Kevin Feige has set a condition for Miles Morales" MCU debut that makes Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse even more important. Tom Holland"s Peter Parker has held the fort as the MCU"s Spider-Man since 2016, when he debuted as a teenager in Captain America: Civil War. Spider-Man"s movies are now one of the MCU"s most successful franchises, which probably makes stepping away from Peter Parker a less appealing move - but it must happen for one clear reason.
Mile Morales is Peter Parker"s successor in Marvel Comics, with Peter stepping into a mentor role when the character joins Earth-616. This occurs immediately after 2015"s Secret Wars run of comics after two alternate universes merge, with Miles Morales being one of the most famous new residents of Earth-616. Along with Peter Parker"s advancing age, the stage is set for Mile Morales to finally debut in the MCU - a circumstance that looks closer than ever following Feige"s recent comments.
Kevin Feige's Miles Morales MCU Debut Condition Makes Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse's Release Time Even More Important Miles Morales Can't Join The MCU Until Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse Is Released Close Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been indefinitely delayed from the originally slated March 29, 2024. With the Spider-Verse threequel set to conclude his acclaimed cinematic debut, it would be sensible for this to precede his live-action debut in the MCU. Kevin Feige supported this notion in an interview with Omelete (translated via Discussing Film), stating that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is the first port of call before Marvel Studios will consider bringing him into the MCU fold.

“Miles will appear in the third ‘Spider-Verse’ movie, which is in production. I hope that, shortly after that, he can enter the MCU in live-action”

Sony still holds the rights for every iteration of Spider-Man, meaning Miles Morales" arrival would still be a collaborative effort between Sony and Marvel Studios.
As yet, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse"s official release date is no clearer, though recent updates from those involved with the movie suggest that it is coming along nicely. With the clock ticking on Peter Parker"s MCU career, however, the window in which it would make the most sense to introduce his successor is steadily shrinking. Feige"s comments mean it would be best for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse to release sooner rather than later to help ensure Miles Morales" MCU arrival comes at the most opportune time.
When Miles Morales' Best MCU Debut Time Could Be Miles Morales Plays An Important Role In The Secret Wars Comic Close Without any clues as to when Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will be released, it is hard to say which upcoming MCU movie is most likely to include his live-action debut. Morales plays a central role in the Secret Wars run of comics, so his live-action debut would preferably precede this - whether in Avengers: Doomsday on May 1, 2026, or Spider-Man 4 on July 24, 2026. Given Tom Holland and Zendaya have already read the script for Spider-Man 4, the uncertain release date for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse reduces the chances that Morales was in it.

Related Every Major Spider-Man 4 Rumor Ranked By How Likely They Really Are Many rumors have been circulating surrounding the plot of Spider-Man 4, but some are far more likely to actually be true than others for many reasons.
Debuting in Avengers: Secret Wars is therefore more likely. Appearing within an ensemble movie would poetically emulate Peter Parker"s own MCU debut in Avengers: Civil War, after all. Then again, Avengers: Secret Wars is expected to feature a far larger cavalcade of cameos, which risks overshadowing Morales" anticipated arrival. This suggests that a live-action debut in a more uncrowded setting after Avengers: Secret Wars would ensure Marvel Studios could focus on him as much as possible.
Kevin Feige's Miles Morales Comments Mean Tom Holland's Spider-Man Hopes Look Set To Become Reality Tom Holland Wishes To Mentor The New Spider-Man Actor Like RDJ Did For Him Close Tom Holland has been quoted as saying he would be doing "something wrong" if he was still portraying Spider-Man at 30 without having passed the torch to a protégé. He clarified these comments in an interview with Rich Roll, stating that he would love to help out a younger Spider-Man actor similar to how Robert Downey Jr. looked out for him early in his MCU career. Given Tom Holland will be 30 by the time Spider-Man 4 releases, Feige"s confirmation that he hopes to debut Miles Morales in the MCU soon suggests that Holland"s hopes may be appeased.
Feige"s comments also seem to confirm that Morales will be the official Spider-successor to Peter Parker in the MCU as opposed to someone like Gwen Stacy.
Feige"s comments also seem to confirm that Morales will be the official Spider-successor to Peter Parker in the MCU as opposed to someone like Gwen Stacy. This is uncharacteristically conventional for the MCU"s Spider-Man, whose MCU story has typically taken the most creative liberties when adapting his Marvel Comics counterpart. Still, this will certainly appease many fans who have been anticipating Miles Morales" MCU arrival - making the Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse release date more pertinent than ever.
