Kevin Feige Confirms That Miles Morales Exists Somewhere in the MCU

Is Miles Morales going to be the new Thanos, now?

I like the cool little easter eggs they drop sometimes. I hope we see him on-screen (non-animated) at some point.
 
I'm actually chuckling in this case that people are complaining that unnamed foreshadowing/teasing counts as a spoiler.

Miles isn't in the movie. His name isn't even dropped. It's less than the War Machine tease in IM1. It's Amadeus Cho in Age of Ultron.

It's telling us there's a character related to him definitely in the movie, as evidenced by "in Homecoming *spoiler block*".

People aren't upset over the Miles part.

Donald Glover's character was being kept secret for a reason. It was meant to be a surprise for fans. It looks like Sony listed the character name at the start of the press junket, unfortunately.

That isn't what the OP looked like originally.

I saw the thread when there were only a few posts. There were no black bars but all the rest of the formatting was the same.

I saw the original warning of "spoilers for Homecoming" myself and decided to press on, so I don't really feel I wasn't warned properly.

Y'all would have been in here wild'n out if Feige dropped only this tease and it turned out Glover wasn't Miles. 99% of the people watching this film will have no idea who this is.

I hope they reveal Zendaya is MJ before release as well.

Zendaya is Felica Hardy......a long con so Peter can hit her with a "Bye, Felica" joke

Holy poop, I didn't know Dong Lover was playing Miles' uncle. That guy was drawn like he was in his mid-forties

So the plan, here, was to follow the production closely enough to know that there might be a Miles Morales acknowledgement in this movie but to not follow it closely enough to be sure if there would be a Miles Morales acknowledgement in this movie?

Spoiler: Brolin plays Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Nobody would've wilded out over that because Donald is too old to play Miles in a movie where Peter is 15 so no one would've thought "oh GOD, Donald is Miles!". It's a spoiler.

I already explained that the hint at Miles is not the spoiler. The spoiler was who Donald Glover was playing.

If you didn't care, that's totally fine.

Whatever, I won't blame the OP. I simply read the title of the thread and expected this to be Kevin Feige giving an interview where he said, "Oh yeah, Miles is there somewhere." I didn't expect to find out who Donald Glover's character was. My fault I guess.

Spoiler: Brolin plays Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Definitely the same thing as a character they purposefully kept secret until it was mentioned at the press junket a week before the movie launched.

Lots of people speculated he may be Miles since he voiced Miles in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.

I also saw a lot of speculation that he may be Miles' uncle as well, so this didn't come as too much of a shock to me.

Those people were stupid and don't have any bearing on this conversation whatsoever.

Think about any amount of black people in the Spider-Man Universe

Now think about the fact we kinda knew that Glover wasn't exactly a good guy

Pickings looking mighty slim

well yeah, that works out because peter is still a kid in this, and he is older than Miles, so theoretically 10-15 years away from Miles Spider-Man

They kept it a secret by revealing it in their main marketing push.

The source of this information is from an interview that begins with a spoiler warning as it's written by someone who has seen the movie and is asking Feige questions about what he saw.
 
I already knew this and I think it's neat.

I'm actively avoiding other details about the movie, though I can't stop watching all the new marketing material they release.
 
People are angry that the interview mentions a name drop? Spoiler culture is out of control. If something that small sets you off, why are you clicking on a Spider-Man thread in the first place? Haha.

Yeah Donald's identity was revealed in the cast list, it's not a secret. If you're going that dark on a movie no thread is safe.

no he isnt, but he can get there

lord and miller can put in that work

No sir. One of the best new comic characters of the past two decades. Miles Morales.

There's a reason why he's such a beloved character now.

I hope they do explore Miles in a sequel.

Oh, I think that would be a long ways off. This is just to tell fans that his uncle exists in this universe. Miles might be like 4 years old at this point, haha.

That's how I figured people were able to even guess he was Miles' uncle months ago, it was just a process of elimination from a small pool of choices.

Makes it surprising to me that anyone who knew enough about Spider-Man to know the name of the character but didn't figure it out for themselves, would all that shocked by the news.

Interesting enough.

I had a dream the other night where I glimpsed a short scene of a much older black Spider-man showing Peter the ropes. Would be an interesting way to work him in eh...
