In Homecoming, diehard Spidey fans would've likely noted how Donald Glover's Aaron Davis referenced his nephew. While Glover's character himself has a heroic persona in the comics as the Prowler, it's his relative who has risen to prominence in recent years.

Miles Morales, who shot to fame when he took on the mantle of Spider-Man in 2011, has only gone from strength to strength since, with the character set to appear in both Insomniac's Spider-Man game and in his own animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Some fans (myself included) were actually quite disappointed that Marvel didn't lead with Miles when they rebooted the character for Captain America: Civil War, and though it's obvious that Tom Holland's Peter Parker will hang around for awhile now, a passing of the torch - or a dual assumption of the Spider-Man identity - shouldn't be ruled out.

In any case, it's likely that Miles will feature in some capacity in the sequel, and it's bound to make fans happy. If he were to suit up proper, however, fans would be even happier.

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.
