The MCU Isn’t Quite Ready For Miles Morales (But It’s Almost There)

Sure, animated Miles Morales and live-action Peter Parker both have a few adventures left before Miles can reasonably step into the MCU. Still, reboot fatigue is arguably the number one reason not to avoid introducing a live-action Miles Morales just yet.

Though he’s not quite on Batman par, Spider-Man is still an often-rebooted live-action superhero character. We’ve moved from Tobey Maguire to Andrew Garfield to Holland in the span of two decades and eight Spider-Man films, along with the latter’s numerous appearances in other MCU films. Additionally, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” rubs this in specifically by featuring all three live-action Peter Parkers along with a bunch of their respective villains. Miles isn’t a Peter Parker reboot, of course, but he’s still a Spider-Man. Introducing him so early in the game – and just after the MCU and The Spider-Verse movies leaned so heavily on the multiple spider-people concept – could very well be the straw that spills over the Spider-Glass.

If the MCU is willing to wait a few more years before bringing Miles in, he could prove to be the perfect way to breathe new life into the entire Spider-Man concept. By putting him in the foreground at the right time – and just When the time is right, the MCU will get a brand new Spider character with all sorts of new stories to tell, while giving the currently forgotten MCU Peter plenty of time to reestablish himself as a crime-fighting legend.

As they say, good things come to those who wait. When it comes to Miles’ MCU debut, the wait will surely make things much, much better.
