Regrettably, the persistent delays surrounding Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse could impede Miles Morales from fully realizing his cinematic potential within the Marvel universe anytime soon. The original film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, introduced audiences to an innovative visual style and narrative, successfully placing Miles Morales, along with other Spider-People, firmly in the public consciousness. This achievement is evident in the impressive box office performance of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which nearly doubled its predecessor’s earnings. Given this context, expectations for the upcoming installment, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, are understandably high.
The third film in the series was initially scheduled for a late 2024 release; however, it faced delays shortly after its announcement. Currently, as we approach early 2025, there remains no definitive release date for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Speculations suggest it may debut sometime between late 2026 and early 2027, especially since the film is actively in production. Nonetheless, a five-year hiatus between this installment and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, coupled with a decade-long gap between the trilogy’s inaugural and concluding films, poses a significant delay in Miles Morales’ cinematic journey.

Anticipating Miles Morales’ Street-Level Stories
The innovative narrative and artistic vision of the Spider-Verse films have indeed set a new standard, inspiring countless other productions. Miles Morales, as the cornerstone of this Marvel multiverse, connects seamlessly with larger story arcs, including the established timelines of the MCU. Nevertheless, it seems that the street-level narratives featuring Miles Morales are currently sidelined, suggesting it may be some time before we see these stories make their way to the silver screen.
Following the cliffhanger of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, audiences can anticipate Miles facing unprecedented multiversal dilemmas by 2026 or 2027. With the rising tensions portrayed in the film’s conclusion, where Earth-1610’s Miles must evade the threats posed by Earth-42’s counterpart and unite with defectors from the Spider-Society, we are set for a climax on par with the MCU’s own grand tales like Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, coinciding with Phase 6’s final events.
Anticipating a Street-Level Miles Morales Story
A Need to Conclude the Spider-Verse Trilogy
The brief glimpses of Miles Morales engaging in ground-level conflicts throughout the trilogy highlight the possibilities of a more grounded narrative exploring his character’s essence, both in animated and live-action formats. Unfortunately, if Sony aims to explore Miles’ story further after concluding his multiversal adventures, we might have to wait upwards of a decade based on the timelines of previous productions. Moreover, the studio could opt to postpone the development of a street-level sequel to ensure a clear ending to the ongoing multiversal saga.
While we await developments, there is the potential for an alternative version of Miles Morales to appear in the MCU. As the animated Miles navigates his multiversal journey, a live-action incarnation could headline a series of street-level films, diverging sharply from Peter Parker’s epic battles alongside the Avengers and their multiversal counterparts. However, with the MCU deeply entrenched in its own Multiverse Saga, the earliest entry for a grounded live-action film centered on Miles Morales might surface post-2027 following Avengers: Secret Wars.
Looking Forward: Hope for Miles Morales’ Future Films
The Unmatched Potential of Miles Morales on Screen
Miles Morales, first introduced within the confines of Marvel Comics’ Earth-1610, has since transitioned into the primary timeline, Earth-616. Although a significant wait lies ahead, the potential for Miles to become the next prominent Spider-Man for a fresh audience is undeniable. Instead of following up with another live-action Peter Parker film post-MCU reboot, there lies the intriguing prospect of Miles headlining his own series of MCU film trilogies, which would resonate with the qualities showcased in the Spider-Verse films. Given the immense popularity Miles has garnered from the animated trilogies, both Sony and Marvel stand to gain significantly from the transition of this beloved character from animation to live action.
