Kevin Feige Reaffirms Miles Morales in the MCU, But With a Catch

Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios and the chief architect of the MCU, Marvel’s shared universe, once again confirmed that both he and Sony Pictures intend to include Miles Morales in the live-action Spider-Man movies. It’ll just take some patience.

Feige repeated the same affirmations he's shared previously regarding the character. "I think the live-action Spider-Man movies are headed toward adding Miles at some point after the conclusion of the Spider-Verse saga," he told the Chinese site Weibo.

Luckily for fans eagerly waiting for that moment, there isn’t much longer to go. The Spider-Verse trilogy will reach its conclusion in the middle of next year with Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. 

Before that, web-slinger fans will get to see Tom Holland’s next Peter Parker adventure in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, in theaters starting July 31.

In addition to Tom Holland returning as the lead, Jacob Batalon will once again play Ned, and Zendaya returns for the new Spider-Man movie as MJ. As for new additions, Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) has been confirmed in a role that has not yet been specified (though she is widely rumored to be playing Jean Grey).

Another confirmed name is Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, marking the hero’s debut in Marvel films. In addition, Mark Ruffalo is in the movie as Hulk and will transform, for the first time in the MCU, into Gray Hulk, a bigger and more dangerous version of the giant.

The official synopsis for Brand New Day has been released: "Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them."

Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is directing the project. Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, who wrote Spider-Man: No Way Home, are also responsible for the upcoming film. 

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31, 2026.
