Regardless of which, I don't see Marvel breaking from their tradition of casting comic book correct characters. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Nick Fury, The Hulk, Black Widow (with the exception of the Russian accent), etc. have all been comic book correct. Now all of a sudden they have the ability to put Spider-Man in the MCU and they are not going to do that? Just don't see it happening.

I think Donald Glover would make a great Miles Morales, but I think he's too old for Peter Parker (especially since Sony wants Peter to be much younger than Andrew Garfield this time around) and to be honest, he may be too old for Miles Morales as well.

I expect Sony/Marvel to go with someone much younger, who can sign a multi-picture deal. Don't know who, but we'll find out.

---

I see your point, and not to quibble too much, but wasn't Nick Fury originally a white guy too?

---

yes, he was. I thought they changed the comic character after the Iron Man 1 cameo.

---

Not correct, Nick Fury resurfaced in Ultimates in 2002, although at the time it was said Samuel L. Jackson was his inspiration.

Yeah, like the previous poster said, the issue is not whether Donald would be a good Spider-Man. He would.

But he should be Morales, not Parker. Parker is white, and he has been for over 5 decades.

I would like to change the # to #DonaldforPeterParker

I would be disappointed in it being a Miles.

I don't care either way as I've never read a Spider-Man comic. But I can see how fans would have issues and wanting to stay true to the source material.

What if Donald did something like paint his face white? Would that help?

This is actually what I expect to happen:

Peter Parker is brought in the MCU with Civil War, and plays his central role, including that he reveals his identity, as he would be one of the few Marvel characters that actually has one.

In Spider-Man, Peter Parker's identity will put his family in danger, and the resulting fight will end with his "death"



At this point, Miles Morales's story will begin, and I think they will bring Peter back in the similar way they did with the Ultimates version:



This would be a great continuation of the story and be comic book faithful.

How does this Miles Molasses get Spider powers? What's his relationship to Peter Parker? How old is he?

Miles Morales is 15. His Uncle steals a serum that was made out of Peter Parker's blood to re-create the Spider-Man affect, a spider gets involved I forget exactly how, and bites Miles Morales. Once he realizes he has abilities, he doesn't tell his parents, and tries to be Spider-Man as he has a lot of respect for Peter Parker and wants to honor him. However, people don't like him wearing the original Spidey suit, so he changes it.

Peter becomes involved later, but they don't know each other until after Peter comes back.

The other thing I like about Morales is that he has his own abilities that Peter doesn't have, and some weaker versions of Peter's powers, so it really kind of makes him his own Spider-Man.

The uncle was stealing something from Oscorp, although I forget what, and the spider crawled into his bag. The spider had been dosed with OZ, I think in an attempt to recreate the incident where Peter got his powers. IIRC Osborne originally had been attempting to use genetic engineering via the spiders to recreate the super soldier serum. Peter was the only successful (unintentional) test, and Osborne injected himself after seeing that Peter had gained his powers which led to him becoming the Green Goblin.

There you go, I'm a little fuzzy on Miles Morales details.

Interestingly enough, according to imdb, Donald Glover voiced Miles Morales in a cartoon last year.

I've been out of it and didn't realize that they brought Peter back. I now feel justified in the Twitter fight (well, two responses) I had with Bendis when I said I didn't believe he would stick with it.

Right, now he's black with the nod to SLJ. My point was that he was originally white.

Yes, but the MCU version is still based on the comic character, not just changed because you want to change him for the movie. I just don't see Marvel flipping around their whole model after Kevin Feige has wanted Spider-Man for Civil War for a really long time.

The MM storyline is neither interesting nor relevant, even if it is the best part (by far) of the Ultimates universe.

Neither Sony nor Marvel will drastically change their best known character for the movie releases. With Sony rebooting Spider-Man, and Marvel allowed to use the character in their movies, they are both going to go as mainstream as possible. That is just common sense.

What should be more telling is that Disney/Marvel manage the "Ultimate Spider-Man" cartoon and could not bother with having MM as the USM, as he is in the comics.

MM may be appealing to some (hell, I will even give you "many") but he is not the Spider-man the vast majority of people know or want.

I never knew there was a blAck spidey!!

What's next... A female Thor and a black captain American?!?

Gosh damn SP, you crack me up on a daily basis.

Sony's confirming that they're aiming for a high school age Parker, which probably means no Glover. I think that's the best decision. Would love to see a high school kid mixing it up with the Avengers. The age difference will play well.

alright, nevermind on my JGL proclomation then.

Plays well with the storylines they established for USM, with SHIELD wanting to shut Parker down and then later reluctantly deciding to train him so that he doesnt get himself killed (/Alanis Morissette).

Here's the report from Variety, re: Spidey's age, along with the terms of the deal. Pretty interesting stuff...

Great.

Now I had to go read the wiki article on Spider-Man.

I think the main guy in The Maze Runner would would be a good option for the new Peter Parker. He was also in the Internship and I think he is still young enough to play a high school kid. I hope the new Spider-Man is tall though. I didn't like short Tobey Spider-Man.

I second Dylan O'Brien - dude would be perfect, but I am sure commitments to Teen Wolf and Maze Runner3 would prevent him from consideration.

Seems both mine and this suggestion are both being considered already.

Fair enough, I only saw him in Maze Runner which didn't give a lot of room for humor

This color argument seems familiar to people that had problems with Heimdall in Thor. It worked in Thor, and Idris Elba was great. They didn't even mention or address his race.

So maybe they first use lily-white Peter Parker as Spider-Man but then he dies (as an Avengers 3 plot element?) and is replaced by Miles Molasses.

I think a black Peter Parker would be just fine. Don't care who the actor is, as long as they are good. It might also help spark the reboot. We've already seen a white Spider-Man with the exact same origin twice. A minority Spider-Man would make seeing the same story a third time at least a little more interesting.
