MCU: 10 Phase 3 Rumours That Turned Out To Be Bull
9. Miles Morales Will Be The MCU Spider-Man
When Spider-Man’s entry into the MCU was officially confirmed, fans dared to entertain whether Marvel might go with a different incarnation of the web-slinging wunderkind seeing as Peter Parker had kind of been done to death in recent years.
The name on everybody’s lips was Miles Morales, the recently introduced Afro-Latino teen who took over the Spider-Man mantle after Peter Parker was killed in the Ultimate Spider-Man series. But predictably, Marvel played it safe and went with Peter Parker. Yet again.
Even though Miles Morales is physically absent in the MCU, there were a couple of nods to him in Spider-Man: Homecoming, in the form of Aaron Davis (who diehard Spidey fans will know is Morales’ uncle in the comics) and a brief glimpse of Morales’ Spider-Man mask in the credits, giving fans hope that he may still make an appearance in the not too distant future.
