Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 10 Things It MUST Include
4. Miles' Family... And The Prowler
Insomniac
So yeah, Miles Morales has his own brilliant supporting cast and they all deserve to have a role in this game - especially his immediate family.
Jefferson Davis (Miles' father) tragically lost his life during the events of the first title, but Rio Morales is still around and could be a great supporting character. Better still, as a Black Puerto-Rican living in Brooklyn, Insomniac also have the opportunity here to have Spanish dialogue in-game. Miles spoke some español during Into the Spider-Verse, but it'd be great to see more of it here too.
On the subject of family as well, there is another one of Miles' relatives who got a tiny nod in Spider-Man PS4 and who would be great to see in his own game - Aaron Davis, aka the Prowler.
Davis already has two films to his name now (a small role in Spider-Man: Homecoming, where he's portrayed by Donald Glover, and a much larger one in Spider-Verse courtesy of Mahershala Ali), and some have speculated that the villains Miles is fighting in the trailer could have a connection to the Prowler. He makes a lot of sense to include either as a supporting character or as an antagonist, so there's a high chance he could emerge onto the scene in the title.
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.
