Amy Pascal, the driving force behind theSpider-Manfranchise and former head of Sony Pictures, has recently shed light on the future of this beloved character. While Miles Morales has captivated audiences in the animated realm, his transition to live-action remains on the horizon, with Pascal indicating that it’s a matter of “someday” rather than a definitive date. The cinematic landscape of Spider-Man is expanding, but fans eager for a live-action debut of Miles Morales will have to wait a bit longer.
The excitement for a live-action movie starring Miles Morales has been on the rise since the 2018 animated triumphSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This film not only introduced a wider audience to Miles but also set a new standard for animated superhero movies. The follow-up film,Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, sustained the momentum of the series. PerVariety, Pascal’s recent remarks imply that the completion of the Spider-Verse trilogy, including the forthcomingSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, must precede the live-action debut of Miles.
“You’ll see all of it. It’s all happening.”

Pascal Teases Potential Crossover Between Sony’s Spider-Verse and Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe
Thevoice behind the animated Miles Morales, Shameik Moore, has brought a unique charm to the character. Donald Glover’s appearances inSpider-Man: Homecomingas Aaron Davis and in “Across the Spider-Verse” as the Prowler hint at the likelihood of Miles making a live-action debut in future films.
Pascal has also expressed openness to the idea of crossing overSony’s Spider-Verse with Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. For the time being, attention continues to be centered on Tom Holland’s interpretation of Peter Parker. Pascal emphasized the distinct narratives of Miles and Peter. She highlighted her commitment to both characters' stories. Pascal said to THR:
“They’re completely separate worlds. You never know. I would never say no to anything. But we have a lot of movies to make about Miles and a lot of movies to make about Peter. I am a movie producer. I want to keep going with this franchise with Tom.”
While the thought of a live-action Miles Morales film is exciting, Sony is cautiously making sure that the animated Spider-Verse is given due attention before exploring new grounds. Fans may have to be patient, but the future of Miles Morales in the Spider-Man universe looks promising, with many adventures yet to come.
