"Spider-Verse" fans have reason to hope: a live-action version of Miles Morales is becoming more of a reality. A "Spider-Man" live-action adaptation featuring the popular character has been the subject of speculation for quite some time. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has now spoken about the current status of the project in an interview with Chinese outlet Watching Hollywood.

The MCU producer confirmed that they definitely have plans for a live-action version of Miles.

"I think a live-action 'Spider-Man' movie has this destiny: to add Miles sometime after the 'Spider-Verse' series ends."

Behind the scenes, intensive planning is already underway for the future of "Spider-Man." Several film projects are currently being discussed.

"We've been thinking and discussing more Spider-Man adventures, regardless of agreements or contracts. My production partner, Amy Pascal, is already working on it, and we've had in-depth discussions about what the next two, three, four, and five 'Spider-Man' movies might be about."

Pascal confirmed years ago that a live-action version of Miles Morales was in the works. Given Kevin Feige's recent statements, the actual realization of such a project is now more likely than ever. Tom Holland's Spider-Man could also potentially play a central role in this. The Marvel star recently hinted to Empire magazine that he would love to help shape a potential transition in the "Spider-Man" universe.

"For whoever's next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter."

Nevertheless, it seems clear that a live-action version of Miles Morales is still in the planning stages. For now, "Spider-Man" fans have two other highlights to look forward to. On July 31, the big summer blockbuster "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" awaits us. A little over a year later, the "Spider-Verse" trilogy will come to a close with "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse." The animated film will be released in theaters on June 18, 2027. After that, calls for a live-action adaptation featuring Miles Morales are sure to grow louder.

The Grand Finale of the Spider-Verse

After numerous delays, "Spider-Verse" fans can finally look forward to the grand finale of the popular saga. The previous film, "Across the Spider-Verse," has already set the stage for the movie's key plot points.

The Setup for Beyond the Spider-Verse

The plot of "Beyond the Spider-Verse" picks up after the dramatic cliffhanger of the previous film. As a reminder: Miles Morales has turned the Spider-Society, led by Miguel, against him. They believe that the likely impending death of Miles' father should not be prevented. For Miles, however, that's out of the question—he wants to change his father's fate at any cost.

While fleeing the Spider-Society, however, Miles accidentally ends up on the wrong Earth. There, he encounters an alternate version of himself who, in this reality, lives as the villain Prowler. Miles is taken captive by him. Meanwhile, Gwen Stacy, along with Peter B. Parker and other allies, assembles a team to rescue him.

Spot will also once again play a central role in "Beyond the Spider-Verse." The former scientist was transformed by the explosion at the end of "Into the Spider-Verse" and has possessed extraordinary powers ever since. His body is riddled with black portals that allow him to move through space and even between different dimensions. However, Spot is deeply conflicted about his fate: He blames Miles for his transformation and wants to kill Miles's father out of revenge. Due to his immense abilities, he also poses a threat to the entire multiverse.
