Miles Morales was first introduced on the big screen back in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Since then the rise in popularity of the character has not slowed down. Miles even got his own Playstation game in 2020 with Marvel’s Spider-man: Miles Morales. The meteoric rise of the character has meant that it’s only a matter of time before Marvel adapt the first black Spider-man into live-action.
Jaden Smith as Miles Morales
The rumour of Jaden Smith being cast as Miles Morales began back in January 2022 when the famous actor posted to the following image to Twitter:
Around the same time as this reliable insider MyTimeToShineHello also tweeted that Smith did indeed hold talks with Marvel about a role. He did not speculate on whether this role was Miles Morales.
Fast forward to the present day and Jaden Smith’s A-list father, Will Smith, has hinted that the rumour could be true.
My son is preparing himself physically and mentally to get a place as one of the characters who will make history for the first time in the saga of a movie that many already know and ask for.
Will Smith
Miles Morales certainly fits the description that Will Smith has outlined in his comments. Make history? Check. The saga of a movie that many already know and ask for? Check.
While the Men In Black actor’s comments are intriguing, only time will tell if there is any truth to the rumour. Would you like to see Jaden Smith as Miles Morales? Let us know in the comments below or over on social media @GeeksGonnaGeek. As always, thanks for reading.
