Spider-Woman, Spider-Man 4, Live-Action Miles Morales, And More Movies In The Works
This summer is shaping up to be an exciting time for the Spider-Verse, and it just got a little brighter. As fans excitedly await the debut of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse this week, Variety claims that producer Amy Pascal is hinting that a live-action Miles Morales film is in the works.
"You'll see everything," Pascal promised. "It's all happening." No further information about the project have been provided, but given the ongoing WGA writer's strike, work is most likely on hold for the time being. With the character's popularity at an all-time high, a live-action picture makes perfect sense, especially as Sony is continuing to expand on the Spider-Man brand with more spin-offs, such as Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web, planned for release within the next year.
Miles Morales made his film debut in 2018 with the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. However, the character has been teased in a number of live-action films, including Spider-Man: Homecoming, which starred Donald Glover as Aaron Davis, Miles Morales' uncle who eventually becomes The Prowler. While a live-action feature centered on the character is still a long way off, the animated Spider-Verse franchise continues with its next installment, which hits theaters later this week.
A Fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man Movie Is Still In Development
Additionally, Pascal also gave an update about Tom Holland’s fourth MCU Spider-Man film, which she says is still in development, but any further progress has been put to a halt as a result of the writer’s strike as well. However, there are still plenty of projects on the way as the Spider-Verse trilogy will continue next year with Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which serves as a direct continuation of where the next film leaves off.
Of course, with an established multi-verse of Spider-Man variants, this is only the beginning of the franchise’s dive into animation, as producer Avi Arad told Variety that an animated spin-off Spider-Woman film is also in development and will be arriving “sooner than you expect.” No additional details on what to expect from the movie, but with so many exciting projects in the works, it appears there’s no greater time to be a Spider-Man fan.
The most recent Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. It features the voices of Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy, Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker, Issa Rae as Spider-Woman, Daniel Kaluuya as Spider-Punk, Karan Soni as Spider-Man India, Oscar Isaac as Spider-Man 2099, Jason Schwartzman as The Spot, Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis, Luna Lauren Velez as Rio Morales, Greta Lee as Lyla, Andy Samberg, and more.
