Marvel Studios' top executive, Kevin Feige, gave fans a small tease for when the MCU might introduce Miles Morales' Spider-Man.
Kevin Feige Addresses Delay in Miles Morales' MCU Debut
Speaking at the Marvel Studios panel at D23 Brazil in São Paulo, Brazil, studio president Kevin Feige addressed the question of Miles Morales' MCU debut.
Feige started by reconfirming Miles' starring role in Sony Pictures' third Spider-Verse movie, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is still deep in production.
However, he followed that up by revealing Miles' MCU arrival will come "shortly after that:"
"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."
As of writing, Miles' starring roles in media have been limited to his first two animated Spider-Verse movies from Sony and Insomniac's Spider-Man video games.
His potential MCU debut has only been teased slightly, as Donald Glover's Aaron Davis teased in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming that he had a nephew who lived in New York. Notably, Aaron is Miles' uncle who eventually becomes the Prowler.
Donald Glover even made a live-action cameo as another version of the Prowler in 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
When Will Miles Morales Enter the MCU?
While Spider-Man has not been seen in the MCU since 2021, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 is gearing up for a July 24, 2026 release. This will be one of at least six MCU movies coming in Phase 6, and filming is lined up to start in 2025 as fans wait for Peter Parker’s return and Miles Morales’ debut.
As Feige noted, Miles' arrival seems tied to Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which has seen more than its fair share of problems during production. Some reports have noted that Spider-Verse 3 may be as many as three years out from its release, which only delays Miles' MCU debut even further.
With only a couple of teases hinting at Miles' existence in the MCU, it appears that he will not become a fully-fledged character until close to the time when Avengers: Secret Wars hits theaters.
Optimistically, Marvel could possibly look into teasing him further in Spider-Man 4, which is set to be the first MCU film hitting theaters after 2026's Avengers: Doomsday.
On the other hand, Secret Wars could put him and Peter Parker next to each other for the first time as the Multiverse Saga reaches its tipping point. Following No Way Home's use of both Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, Marvel and Sony using Secret Wars for another huge character intro would not be shocking.
For the time being, Feige's D23 Brazil quotes leave some MCU fans disappointed that Miles' arrival is still multiple years out. Thankfully, the character is on Feige's mind due to Miles' immense popularity, meaning his eventual presence in the MCU is almost a guarantee.
Marvel Studios will revisit the web-slinger next in the untitled Spider-Man 4, which swings into theaters on July 24, 2026.
