Cedric Joe, who starred in Space Jam: A New Legacy, has expressed interest in becoming the first live-action Miles Morales in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Joe has his sights set on suiting up and battling super villains after taking on LeBron James on the court, and he has been paying careful attention to the world of Spider-Man.
Cedric stated that he has always wanted to be a part of the Marvel universe. They also haven’t made a Miles Morales Spider-Man movie yet. So, there’s still a chance, and he’s hopeful.
While Marvel has yet to confirm the addition of a live-action Miles Morales to the MCU, Joe is ready for when that day comes. Cedric Joe’s fame is set to soar because of his prominent part in the recently released comedy sports sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy, in which he portrays Dominic “Dom” James, LeBron James’ younger son.

Over the years, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and most recently Tom Holland, have all played Peter Parker’s Spider-Man in live-action adaptations, but Miles Morales has yet to receive the same treatment. The character’s journey has been recounted on the big screen through animation in the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which places him in a shared world known as the “Spider-Verse.” Miles Morales becomes the new Spider-Man after being bitten by a radioactive spider and witnessing the death of his world’s Peter Parker/ then he joins other Spider-People from multiple parallel realms to save New York City.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, starring Shameik Moore as Miles Morales and directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, was a critical and commercial success, with a sequel set for release on October 7, 2022. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 is expected to focus more on Miles and Gwen Stacy’s relationship, with various different incarnations of Spider-Man and Spider-Woman thrown in for good measure.
Though it seems doubtful, some have speculated that the events of upcoming movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home would result in the introduction of a live-action Miles Morales, which Cedric Joe will undoubtedly be on the lookout for.
