2026 is a great time for Spider-Man fans, who are eagerly awaiting the premiere of the first Spider-Man movie in five years, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film will serve as a direct follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home (co-starring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield), and it will follow Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) after everyone has forgotten who he is, leaving him to rely on being Spider-Man to connect him to the old world. Spider-Man fans were also treated to a new TV series earlier this year, Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly. The show has not officially been picked up for Season 2 yet, but the widely positive reception and viewership alludes to it receiving the chance to continue beyond Season 1.
While Peter Parker has carved out a name for himself as the Spider-Man of a generation, younger fans have found themselves flocking to Miles Morales, who was first introduced in 2011. Between his roles in the Spider-Verse movies and the Spider-Man games from Insomniac, many Spider-Man fans have found themselves more connected with Miles than Peter, despite the character not yet appearing in live-action. However, during a recent interview, Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirmed that Miles will eventually make his way into the MCU, saying: “I think live-action Spider-Man movies have this destiny: to add Miles [Morales] at some point after the Spider-Verse series is completed.” Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is confirmed to be the final entry in the beloved animated franchise, will be released in theaters on June 18, 2027. After Secret Wars at the end of 2027, it’s possible that the next Spider-Man movie could center around Miles, not Peter.
What Are Miles Morales’ Powers?
Miles Morales has similar powers to Peter Parker in that he has enhanced durability, strength, and agility, along with the ability to web-swing, but he also has access to more powers that are unavailable to Peter Parker. Miles has a power known as Active Camouflage, meaning he can go nearly invisible briefly, or at least invisible enough that he completely blends into his surroundings, making him almost impossible to see. He also has access to electrical abilities, including the ability to channel electricity and harness it through punches and other moves. He’s easily one of the strongest street-level heroes in Marvel.
