Being a superhero isn’t easy but the job becomes more manageable when you have someone looking out for you. In the coming weeks, fans will see just how much Iron Man’s mentorship of Peter Parker will help Spider-Man grow in the wake of Captain America: Civil War when Spider-Man: Homecoming drops. And, one day in the future, the Queens vigilante may get to tutor Miles Morales on the big screen.

Recently, Tom Holland and the cast of Spider-Man: Homecoming held a press junket in New York for the Marvel-Sony feature. It was during the panel that Holland admitted (via ScreenRant) he would be all for mentoring Miles Morales’ Spider-Man somewhere down the road.
“That would be something that I would be very up for doing, it’s something that I would really, really hope to happen,” Holland explained. “I think Miles Morales is a great character, I think it would be fantastic to have an actor of color playing a superhero on screen and I just think it’s going to be something very cool and something very exciting for this universe.”
For awhile, fans petitioned Marvel and Sony to bring Miles into Spider-Man: Homecoming. Rumors persisted that Donald Glover would play the hero, but the actor’s age and current casting descriptions refute the rumor. If Miles is brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it won’t likely happy until the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming gets released, but there is one actor out there already vying for the job.
In a chat with ScreenRant, RJ Cyler from the recent Power Rangers movie admitted he wants to play Miles.
“I’d definitely want to be Miles Morales in Spider-Man”, said Cyler. “That’s my dream role, to be honest, to play Miles Morales because, for one, I know that I would totally geek out the entire time because Spider-Man is my favorite superhero. I have a Spider-Man steering wheel, Spider-Man floor mats, that’s just me. So that’s my perfect role, that’s my ideal role for the future. Rather distant, or some other time, you know?”
Marvel Studios has no announced any plans to bring Miles into the MCU, and Sony has remained quiet about any such announcement. The latter studio has its hands full with several Spider-Man spinoff films like Venom and Silver & Black. Marvel is also preoccupied with its growing MCU lineup, so the debut of Miles Morales may have to be put off for the foreseeable future.

You can find the official synopsis for Homecoming below, which has a 4.13 out of 5 on ComicBook.com’s anticipation rankings.
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
The cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. It also includes Jon Favreau, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Michael Mando, Selenis Leyva, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., JJ Totah, and Hannibal Buress.
