But as Across seems gearing up to be a box office hit and potentially snag some awards much like the first Spider-Verse did, it may be worth asking if it’s really the right move. This is very much a “no duh” statement from Pascal: Sony loves making Spider-Man movies (or Spider-Man adjacent ones), Miles is clearly a brand unto himself, and it’s smart to capitalize on that. Whether this means he’ll be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or do his own thing and maybe fight whatever weird version of the Sinister Six that Sony’s been trying to make happen is up in the air, but either way, we’ll soon have a physical actor playing New York’s Only Spider-Man. Sony Pictures’ Amy Pascal recently confirmed that a live-action movie for Miles is in early development, or will be once the WGA strike is over. And as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is building on the momentum of its predecessor, Sony’s already got its eye on Miles’ future: Beyond the Spider-Verse is meant to wrap up this animated trilogy in April 2024. Spider-Verse’s success has loomed over Miles ever since various expanded Marvel media that features Spider-Man has made a point of having Miles on hand as well-either as a protégé (and future co-lead), or as the sole headliner of his own adventure. And though it took some time for Miles to really get there, it eventually happened, thanks largely to 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Though he was far from the first non-Peter Parker person to take on the Spider-Man mantle, his lead writer Brian Michael Bendis hoped he’d be a big deal and represent a community that was otherwise primarily underserved in Big Two comics at the time. Since his debut, Miles Morales has been an odd character.
