With the expectation of Miles Morales’ arrival in live-action at the MCU, fans are beginning to increase the options for actors to play the character.
Miles Morales, in addition to acting in Marvel Comics, has won video games, cartoons, including the movie “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and the sequel “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”, which opens in 2023.
Despite the expectation, and it’s unimaginable that Miles Morales won’t make it to the MCU, this still doesn’t have a date to happen. While Kevin Feige doesn’t announce the hero’s arrival, let’s look at a list of six possibilities to experience this other version of Spider-Man, bred by the hero’s fans.
Jaden Smith
Rumors that Jaden Smith will play Miles Morales’ Spider-Man are long-standing and, at 24, he’s still at a possible age to look like a high school student.
Will Smith, Jaden’s father, has already given some indications that the young man is preparing to live a role that will make history as part of a saga, and several fans have played the mysterious character as the role of Miles Morales in the MCU, at the same time, Jaden Smith himself made a mysterious post with the Spider-Man mask.
However, nothing is official and it may just be an attempt to raise the actor’s name to play the hero.
Shameik Moore
This is a more remote possibility, mainly due to Shameik Moore’s age, who is already 27. But the big reason he puts him on this list is that Moore already plays Miles Morales – as the voice of him in the films “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”.
This causes many fans to associate the possibility of Moore switching from cartoons to live-action as Miles Morales, even with the ability to switch with the character’s abandonment from animation to appear in the flesh.
Nadji Jeter
Another similar case is that of Nadji Jeter, hailed by many fans as a possible name to play Miles Morales in the MCU. While Moore has voiced Miles Morales in animated films, Jeter has voiced the character in games since 2018. Since then, there have been five different games, including Sony’s Spider Man franchise.
However, Jeter faces a similar obstacle to Moore: age. At 26, it becomes more difficult for him to appear as a teenager on the big screen.
Caleb McLaughlin
A very strong name among fans is that of Caleb McLaughlin, who will soon star in the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things”, in the role of Lucas.
Despite already being 20, he played a 15-year-old character in the series and managed to look like a teenager on screen, and so far he’s the youngest on the list.
A rising star on the verge of stepping out of a major production, McLaughlin may be in the perfect window to step straight into Marvel and play Miles Morales.
Brown Miles
After becoming famous for playing Jack in the “black” sitcom, Miles Brown became a fan favorite for playing Miles Morales in the MCU.
The rapper, dancer and actor is only 17, which gives Marvel Studios a larger window for the actor to grow into character, something similar to what was done with Tom Holland as Peter Parker. In addition to working age and the young man who is a rising star, his name Miles could be destiny speaking.
Dallas Dupree Young
If age weighs as positively for Miles Brown as it does for the others on the list, it’s an even more positive point for Dallas Dupree Young, who is only 15.
After Xolo Maridueña took on the role of Jaime Reyes, DC’s Blue Beetle, other “Cobra Kai” actors began to be considered for different roles by fans of the series and Young was linked to Miles Morales on the Internet.
In addition to being young, Dallas Dupree Young has already shown the ability to play well in an action role with a hint of comedy, something that Marvel Studios uses a lot in their films.
