In movie news, Sony Pictures has revealed the main character in its upcoming Spider-Man film, and this time it’s not Peter Parker. Now relax, we will be seeing the original webslinging teenager in Spider-Man Homecoming this summer, but, in addition to this year’s live action film, Sony also announced an animated feature. In the still untitled animated adventure, the one strapping on wrist-mounted web shooters will be none other than Miles Morales. Created by comics writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sarah Pichelli, Morales is a biracial, Black and Latino teenager who also gets bitten by a radioactive spider and develops powers. It’s not the same spider, so the abilities he develops are a bit different, but after he begins to swing around the city fighting crime just like his predecessor, the Spider-Man moniker begins to stick to him as well. The film is being written by Phil Lord who, along with his frequent collaborator Chris Miller, is also serving as executive producer. Bob Persichetti and Peter Ramsey are set to co-direct the feature. No word yet on who will be voicing the multiracial hero, but this show’s favorite celebrity Donald Glover has previously voiced Morales on an episode of the popular Disney XD show Ultimate Spider-Man. I think you know who has my vote.
