Tom Holland’s Miles Morales Comments Put Even More Pressure On Spider-Man Beyond The Spider-Verse’s Release Date

:0:1

Tom Holland"s new comments about Miles Morales making his live-action debut have added more pressure to Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse"s situation, as the film still has no release date set. Holland will soon be back for another adventure as Peter Parker. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has no plans of retiring his character any time soon, with Tom Holland"s Spider-Man 4 moving along nicely. The actor has revealed that he read the latest version of the MCU film"s script a few weeks ago, and it was exciting. Spider-Man 4 starts filming in early 2025, making a 2026 release seem likely.
Holland should also play a role in 2026"s Avengers: Doomsday, which means the actor should return as Spider-Man twice in the same year after being absent since 2021"s Spider-Man: No Way Home. While the live-action Spider-Man adventures are shaping up nicely, there is still a lot of uncertainty where the animated Spider-Verse franchise is concerned. After two excellent films, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse dropped its original March 29, 2024, release date. The movie has been removed from Sony"s release schedule, and after Holland made some comments about where future Spider-Man movies could go, the Spider-Verse finale needs to hurry up.
Tom Holland Previously Commented About Passing The Baton To Miles Morales The Spider-Man Actor Seemed Ready To Leave The Role Close The animated Spider-Verse films have done a great job of showing how much potential Miles Morales has as a character, which has led to an influx of requests for the hero to make a live-action debut. While he was only created in 2011, Miles quickly became popular in Marvel Comics, eventually making his way to the main Marvel universe. Now, the character is held as possibly the best legacy hero from Marvel, and Tom Holland is one of the many people who understand that Miles needs to come to live-action sooner rather than later.
Holland revealed that he saw the 30-year-old mark as a good stepping-off point to hand the Spider-Man mantle to "Miles Morales or a Spider-Woman."
At first, Holland seemed to be ready to step out as the MCU"s Spider-Man if it meant getting Miles Morales to replace his Peter Parker. The actor even "imposed" a deadline for when he should let another star succeed him as the Marvel hero. Speaking with Esquire Middle East in February 2022, Holland revealed that he saw the 30-year-old mark as a good stepping-off point to hand the Spider-Man mantle to "Miles Morales or a Spider-Woman." According to the MCU actor, if he were to not do that, then Holland would feel he failed his duties to Spider-Man.

That reveal was shocking for a couple of reasons. The first is that it came not long after Holland led one of the highest-grossing films of all time, as 2021"s Spider-Man: No Way Home came close to breaking the $2 billion mark. Then, there was the fact that Holland was coming close to his self-imposed age limit. If the actor were to stay true to what he said, then Spider-Man 4 and the next two Avengers movies would be his final entries as Peter Parker. Holland is 28, and the actor will be 30 after filming all three MCU movies.
Holland Now Wants To Play Spider-Man Alongside Miles Morales In The MCU Both Spider-Men Can Co-Exist Close Thankfully, it seems like Holland has had a change of heart when it comes to his longevity as Spider-Man. During an interview with Rich Roll, Tom Holland commented about Miles Morales" live-action future. The MCU"s Peter Parker actor cannot wait to share the spotlight with the other version of Spider-Man. According to Holland, he would love to be there for the young actor who plays Miles Morales, just like Robert Downey Jr. was there for him when Holland first started playing Spider-Man. During the interview, Holland revealed that his Captain America: Civil War lines were not reduced because of RDJ.
The actor said he would be lucky to "bring Miles Morales into [his] Spider-Man universe and into the MCU." During the interview, Holland also made an interesting comment that confirmed his intentions were to share the screen with Miles, not pass the baton to a younger actor after he turned 30 as he had originally intended. When talking about his Spider-Man future, Holland said, "I want to make another one, I want to make many more, but I want to do it for the right reasons." Mentoring a young Miles Morales could be one of those reasons to continue.
Miles Morales’ Live-Action Debut Has Two Revealed Conditions The Spider-Verse Finale Plays A Crucial Role Close With Holland wanting to see Miles Morales debut soon in the MCU, there are a couple of things that have to happen before the hero can make the jump from animation to live-action. In May 2023, Spider-Man franchise producer Amy Pascal revealed that two more movies still have to be released before Miles can make his live-action debut. At first, it seemed like she had just revealed that a fourth Spider-Verse movie would come after Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, Spider-Verse franchise producer Christopher Miller took to Twitter to clear up any confusion regarding what she meant.
According to Miller, Pascal meant to say that Miles Morales" live-action debut will come after Tom Holland"s Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse have been released. Since the MCU is now moving fast with its next Spider-Man film, starting production in 2025 for a likely 2026 release, all that is holding up Miles" live-action debut is Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. The film still has no release date, and as it is an animated project, it is harder to predict when it might be released in comparison to Holland"s Spider-Man 4, which has a more straightforward production timeline.
When Could Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse Be Released? Miles Morales' Animated Franchise Has To End Before He Comes To Live-Action Close Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed indefinitely, meaning Sony took it off the studio"s release schedule. While a concrete update on when Miles Morales will return has yet to be given, there have been a few teases since the news broke. The musician d4vd teased that the final Spider-Verse movie could end up being released in 2025, which would be a welcome surprise. That positive tease goes directly against a report that claimed Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse could only be released in 2027 due to most of the film"s story being dropped for creative reasons.
There are plans for a live-action Miles Morales Spider-Man movie
Spider-Verse producer Chris Miller addressed the report, stating that "Nothing has been scrapped," though he did not comment on the potential 2027 release date. If that were to come true, then Miles Morales could only come to live-action by 2027 or 2028. That would be after Avengers: Secret Wars, which was the event that brought Miles to Marvel"s main universe in the comics. A 2027 release for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse could lead to a Miles cameo in the MCU film before a full-on live-action Spider-Man movie.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is the direct continuation of 2023's Across the Spider-Verse, and is the third film in the Miles Morales animated Spider-Man franchise. Miles continues his interdimensional journey to change the fates of those he loves while finding his own path to become a Spider-Man.
