Miles Morales is poised to follow the footsteps of Boseman's Black Panther in the MCU, but it still remains to be seen when the character will debut in the monumental franchise.
Regardless, there's a strong chance that Morales will soon arrive, especially after being teased during Spider-Man Homecoming . This special tribute should serve as a reminder of Boseman's impressive contributions to the superhero community, and this essentially means that the late actor's impact transcends beyond the silver screen.
