Avengers 4: 9 Surprise Cameos That Could Still Happen

1. Miles Morales

When Donald Glover's Aaron Davis (who also goes by the Prowler identity in the comics) made reference to his nephew, hardcore Spidey fans were undeniably excited.

Though confirmation of his name was still in doubt, Kevin Feige said later in the year that the reference was indeed a nod towards fan-favourite Spidey character, Miles Morales. The hero, who was introduced in 2011, has risen in prominence in recent years, popping up in animated series and, with the arrival of Insomniac's Spider-Man video game, the gaming medium too. Sony's own Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will also mark the character's cinematic introduction, and with all those other formats set to be broached, the only one remaining is live-action.

Tom Holland's Peter Parker is one of the MCU's brightest spots, and it's clear that Marvel cast the actor with the intent of having him stick around for a while. However, that shouldn't mean that Miles can't be New York's other wall-crawler, with both Peter and he having shared the mantle since the character made the jump to Marvel's main continuity in 2015.

This doesn't mean that we'll see Miles swinging around with Marvel's OG web-slinger anytime soon, but it does mean that he could make a cameo in Avengers 4 - thus planting the seeds of an arc that could, potentially, see the character becoming the MCU's second Spider-themed hero. At least in Phase 4.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
