According to Inside the Magic, Marvel is actively laying the groundwork for a live-action Miles Morales as Tom Holland's tenure in the Spider-Man role continues to evolve — signaling that the MCU's web-slinging future is bigger than one Peter Parker.
The Next Chapter of Spider-Man Starts Now
For years, Miles Morales has dominated animated screens — most memorably in the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse films — but the prospect of a live-action Miles in the MCU opens an entirely different conversation. This isn't just about recasting a superhero; it's about building a whole new corner of the Spider-Man mythology. Miles comes with his own rich supporting cast: his father Jefferson Davis, his mother Rio, best friend and confidant Ganke Lee, and a rogues' gallery that includes the Prowler and Kingpin. That's a lot of roles to fill, and the fancasting possibilities are genuinely exciting.
For myCast users, this development is a green light to go all-in on Miles Morales dream casts. Who anchors the role? Who plays his family? Does Donald Glover finally get his full Prowler arc? These are the questions the community gets to answer before Marvel does.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community hasn't been sleeping on this. Over on the Miles Morales fan cast story, Caleb McLaughlin — best known as Lucas on Stranger Things — leads the Miles Morales vote tally with 2 votes, making him the top fan pick for the role so far. It's an inspired choice: McLaughlin has the dramatic range, the screen presence, and the age profile to carry a franchise.
The same story also reflects some genuinely thoughtful supporting casting. Fans have tapped Donald Glover for Aaron Davis/Prowler — a nod to his brief MCU appearance in Homecoming that fans clearly want expanded into something meatier. Vincent D'Onofrio lands the Kingpin pick, which, given his acclaimed run in Daredevil and Hawkeye, feels less like fancasting and more like inevitability. Mehcad Brooks is the fan choice for Jefferson Davis, Miles' cop father, and picks up a vote for Rio Morales — a casting that would bring serious dramatic credibility to the role.
