Sony needs to bring the Spider-Verse’s Miles Morales to life for these three simple reasons
The Spider-Verse has become a phenomenon thanks to fantastic stories and Miles Morales being the focus. Now is the perfect time to bring him to life.
One thing is for sure: people love Miles Morales. No matter what anyone says, Sony got this version of Spider-Man right. Across the Spider-Verse was the second installment that has fans and critics in love with the web-slinging teenager. Everything started in 2018 on the pages of Marvel Comics.
Initially, there was a mixed response from fans when Miles Morales, the black Spider-Man, was introduced. Some fans were hesitant and resistant to the idea of a new character taking on the iconic Spider-Man mantle. However, over time, as readers delved into Miles’ story and explored his unique perspective, they couldn’t help but be captivated by his journey. Through his comics, Miles showcased a fresh and relatable voice, taking on the challenge of being a young hero while dealing with his own identity and the legacy he carried.
The turning point came with the release of the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which introduced Miles to a broader audience and showcased the depth of his character and the vibrancy of his world. The film’s artistry and storytelling expanded the Spider-Man mythos, capturing hearts and opening up a new spectrum of fandom who fell in love with Miles Morales.
The third installment of the Spider-Verse film should be the last. End it on a great note, and if they want to tell more stories, they should create an animated series. However, more importantly, they should bring Miles Morales to life. In fact, Sony already teased the idea of a live-action film.
How Sony can bring Miles Morales into the live-action Spider-Verse
Hear me out. Imagine, at the end of the final film, in a post-credit scene, Miles finds himself changing from animation to live-action. Or this could happen in the opening scene of a live-action movie. Either way, this transformation forces Miles to break the fourth wall and ask, “Are you seeing this?”
When the transformation is complete, he finds himself in a world vastly different from his own, one that had a Spider-Man who vanished. He’s been brought there to save the day.
