MCU: 10 Fascinating Facts About Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

10. There’s A Secret Miles Morales Reference

While Donald Glover’s appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming was great on acting terms alone, it was spiced up even further by it raising the idea that Miles Morales – known best as the Spider-Man in Spider-Man 2099 – may be appearing in this universe sometime soon.

Glover talks about a nephew he has who lives in the neighbourhood, and who he wants to look out for. With the character Glover plays – Aaron Davis – being canonically Miles Morales’ uncle in the comic universe, this seems a sure sign that the beloved character may feature in a future film.

Recently revealed deleted scenes have only served to strengthen this belief, as in one Glover phones his nephew, and refers to him explicitly as Miles – which is a pretty solid sign Morales has been thought about in the context of the Homecoming universe.

While Miles’ presence in the animated Spider-Man film was nothing short of sublime, a live-action appearance would be sure to add that little extra hype to the established universe.
