While there still isn’t a live-action, Miles Morales Spider-Man film in the works now, those who have seen Spider-Man: Homecoming know that the door is open for the Black latino webslinger to be introduced in a future iteration.
Until then, Sony has developed an animated feature with Morales as the center, with The Get Down star Shameik Moore as the voice. It is titled Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and will be released Christmas 2018.
A first-look teaser trailer dropped on Saturday at the Comic Con Experience CCXP17 in São Paulo, Brazil, and it seems to be a visually stunning animated fare to say the least.
It also seems to follow its comic book continuity, showing the grave of Peter Parker (Morales took over the Spidey mantle after Parker’s death).
The film is directed by Bo Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman. The screenplay is from Phil Lord. It is produced by Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Christina Steinberg.
