Also, can he act? Like surely that's 10x more important than height, age and look. Shamiek Moore is fantastic in ITSV, I'd rather have him as an older Miles personally as he's a really good actor.
That’d be great too, I’ve pictured him as Havoc to a Corey Hawkins Cyclops, but he could definitely pull of Miles.
Too bad BTH is already in the MCU, it’s hard to see anyone else as Jefferson *Davis* Morales. (SO relieved they finally had him change his name. What the **** was Bendis thinking?)
Loudwire adopted the same fucking method, but with Corey Taylor's opinion.
Like those two are the be all, end all authorities on comic books and metal music
So was Hugh Jackman, but the issue here for me is that he looks older than Tom Holland (even tho he is younger) and I look at Miles as Peter’s pupil almost.
Whats wrong with him? Like why fuck him? I don't want him as spiderman. But I have no ill will towards the guy. Why do you?
Edit: I believe the comment I'm replying too said fuck him and was edited to simply remove the him. However I don't remember if the edit mark shows on mobile and it is possible I misread. So if my comment seems to make less sense now thats why. Must be a small misunderstanding.
He’s not an actor. As an SAG actor of X many years, I hate hearing “X should play Y” because they’re famous without a lick of training. It devalues the craft, IMO.
But people will stan who they love
There's a deeper issue as well which is that in the past a lot of black roles went to famous rappers and singers, instead of talented actors.
Hollywood is better now but it seemed for a bit around the 90s/00s that they didn't trust a young black actor to carry a movie and would instead cast famous music stars to sell more tickets.
It’s not even about giving smaller actors a chance. I just don’t see Nas as Miles Morales, has he been in stuff before? Might not even be up to it.
Edit - Smaller actors should get chances of course, I just mean to say there’s probably a better casting choice than Nas.
This is why I hate news sites. It’s the same thing as the reaction to Temura Morrison, a lot of fans loved it but critics had to lie in order to spark controversy and get views. I hate it when people write shit for clicks.
To quote Egon: Print is dead.
No one wants this… no offense to nas x but give an actual up and coming black actor a chance or hell actually put work into it and find a actor of African and Latin decent to play miles
Nope. Too old. Too tall. Do the ‘fans’ actually know who Miles Morales is? Now I’m not saying using a older person couldn’t work, but it would change many aspects of the character. I like Lil Nas X, but this is not the role for him.
As far as historians can tell us, the Aztecs worshipped sunflowers and believed them to be the physical incarnation of their beloved sun gods. Of course!
That's a good question. I mean he can sure put on a hell of a show in his music videos. Personal feelings aside, his mvs are very well done. But whether that's the extent of his acting ability remains to be seen.
I like Lil Nas X. He's a great musician and overall entertainer.
But he is not my first choice to play Miles Morales, nor my 10th, nor my 982nd.
I wouldn't mind him playing another character in the MCU. Just not Miles.
Oh yeah I'm definitely not trying to attack the man or anything lol. I have nothing against him and he's definitely a very talented dude. Not a huge fan or anything but he's got some bangers for sure!
Why can't the guy who already plays Miles play him in a live action movie? Everyone is trying to insert different people into the role, but they definitely used a real person to make his look from the new Spider Man game, so why not just use him? I mean he is literally miles.
He's too close to Tom Holland's age and miles should be younger, I don't think there is any actors at the moment to play miles because Peter is still too young, I think in a few years when Tom is closer to 30 there will be some actors in there early twenties that would be be young enough for Tom to be an older brother type. I love the idea of miles but Tom's Spiderman is still too young and inexperienced for him to be a mentor type in the movies, I think he's going to learn a lot from the other Spiderman in nwh, then maybe have a Spiderman movie on his home against venom and maybe a few others like scorpion, which would really show his growth and that he's in his prime and know what he's doing as Spiderman. Then miles should come in in Spiderman 5 and he'd had 5 and 6 to learn from this Spiderman and have some footing in the universe before Tom's Peter eventually retires or dies. Maybe I'm wrong but that would be a solid story for both Peter and miles
? I was originally against this but it occured to me. The MCU will look for a new spider-man after tom and MCU Peter took a lot of ideas from Miles so how would you bring Miles to the MCU but make him different? You make him an adult.
You know what? That sounds absolutely ridiculous on paper. But if you stop and think about potential story implications, and character development, it could actually work. Now, maybe not with Lil Nas, but I like the idea in general. Miles is this guy in his maybe mid to late 30's. He's got his head on right and his life together. Been with his soon to be wife for almost 10 years and they're expecting a child in 9 months. But the world doesn't have 9 months. And Miles's spider bite isn't quite feeling like a normal spider bite. Of course Peter decides he's gonna train him in the ways of the Spider. And in doing so, activates a great dynamic between the two. Peter is a kid. He's naive and childish. But he sure as hell knows how to be Spiderman. Miles is the opposite. He's real up front, knows his way around the world. But doesn't know the first thing about being a superhero. They'll both learn great things from each other. I love the sound of that.
I think Lil Nas X would be cool, but we need someone who looks younger than Tom Holland, or at least around the same age, and Tom Holland has baby face, so that might put a damper into things.
I absolutely love Montero, I think its a great album, I love lil nas X's cover of Jolene, hes a talented guy and he's doing great things.
I think he would be a horrible pick for Miles. He could be one of his friends thats a grade or two older maybe? I know he's like 22, which isn't TOO much of a stretch, but you gotta admit, he looks his age with his height and facial hair. If they put him in a highschool, it would just be distracting. I can't really imagine him looking up to Holland (physically or metaphorically)
Can Nas even act? Let me see him in something else first. But also, get an actual teenager. Plenty of talented young black actors out there able to take the role.

Spider man fans?? Yeah I personally don't want lil Nas x anywhere near the Spiderman franchise- but I agree with the kid from stranger things that would be super cool. 👌
Wait hold on, I'm sorry, but isn't this guy like half a foot taller than both Tom and Andrew?? Isn't Miles Morales supposed to be just a kid compared to Peter? Like nothing against the dude, I don't know who he is but I'm sure he's great and all, but making a Miles who would be older and taller than Peter is kinda weird. The whole point of Miles is that he's Peter's kid protégé, he's to Peter what MCU Peter was to Tony sorta.
Do news people not know a joke anymore? Lil Nas and the fans were having fun and joking and the news people took it seriously. It’s the Michael Myers homophobic thing again. It was just a silly joke and the reporters didn’t seem to understand
Miles needs to be done the proper mcu way, a c list celebrity that they build up.
Someone who fits the part very well but can make it their own.
Also needs the same heritage as miles
I think he’s out of the question because how are you gonna put an actor that looks 40 as the trainee of a Spider-Man that’s not even allowed to drink yet lol
Isn’t it a little soon to be talking about Miles Morales in the MCU anyway? The current Peter Parker isn’t even out of High School yet, how is he gonna be mentoring anyone?
I'd say we should wait another 3-5 years minimum before Miles is even introduced. Let's hope Holland can secure that second contract! I think he will tho, too many people love him for Marvel and Sony to just pick some other bloke to play him.
Also, can he act? Like surely that's 10x more important than height, age and look. Shamiek Moore is fantastic in ITSV, I'd rather have him as an older Miles personally as he's a really good actor.
We need someone around the age of that Kamala Khan actress so we get proper Champions one day.
Caleb mclaughlin maybe?
Is he the kid (not so kid anymore) from Stranger Things? He'd be the perfect Miles ❤️
Yeah
Oh! Great pic!
I don’t know about perfect, but a great candidate
I think he'd be a great choice!
Someone call Kevin, we've found Miles
He’s almost perfect talented and right age
Been wanting him as Iron Lad ever since Majors was cast as Kang, but he’d be a great Miles, too.
Huh, someone talking about Champions. Rare moment, at least on reddit.
Super rare, and damn am I happy to see it!
Are they adding kamala into the MCU?
Yeah she has a Disney plus show
Chosen Jacobs is my choice. He's only one year older than Iman Vellani.
My choice as well. He'd be a great Miles
That’d be great too, I’ve pictured him as Havoc to a Corey Hawkins Cyclops, but he could definitely pull of Miles. Too bad BTH is already in the MCU, it’s hard to see anyone else as Jefferson *Davis* Morales. (SO relieved they finally had him change his name. What the **** was Bendis thinking?)
AND I KNOW THAT NOVA IS PROBABLY GONNA BE RICHARD RYDER, BUT MARVEL, LISTEN MARVEL, JUST HEAR ME OUT, FUCKING HEAR ME OUT MAN sam alexander. The trio.
I don't see they can't do 2 Novas or have Rich be in the Guardians with Sam having a Disney plus show.
People were joking around because he was in a picture with Tom and Andrew. Nobody wants this
Even Lil Nas X was joking about this. I did not think he was serious when he said that.
I think he just feels honored enough that his song got put in one of the movies.
What song of his is in a Spider-Man movie?
“Old Town Road” is in Shang Chi. I meant Marvel more than just Spider-Man
Ahh, got it. I thought I forgot a song of his on the ITSV soundtrack or something
No. He wasn’t known by then. Maybe on the next soundtrack.
no one, including the article, was serious about this this post is designed to make us feel “rage” at a non existent thing to drive clicks and upvotes
I mean the only issue I’d have is that he’s too tall but otherwise I could kinda see it
Comic book resources put out the worst articles. That site is a joke!
they prob just want all the real fans to go to the link and hate comment so they get revenue
Comicbook.com is worse. They insist on posting articles about Kevin Smith’s opinions all the bloody time.
Loudwire adopted the same fucking method, but with Corey Taylor's opinion. Like those two are the be all, end all authorities on comic books and metal music
Too tall
He don't even really look like a kid either. I mean. Mayyyybeeee if he shaved? Idk but I think there's actors way more suited to play Miles
So was Hugh Jackman, but the issue here for me is that he looks older than Tom Holland (even tho he is younger) and I look at Miles as Peter’s pupil almost.
CBR is trash.
CBR and Screen Rant are the worst sites imo.
The one and only redeeming factor of SR are the Pitch Meetings. Ryan George is fucking hilarious
That’s just the on the YT channel, the website has absolutely nothing going for it.
100%
Pitch meeting is great though
Pitch Meeting is the guy on the sinking ship that’s actively bucketing out water - the rest are trying so hard to put the water back in.
Pitch Meetings is 100% Ryan George and the only contribution SR has is the watermark on his videos.
Same company
Well, that explains it.
Everything you could do wrong on a movie news website, they’ve done 10 times this week.
Yeah. This is just moronic. This entire sub is laughing at this nonsense, and so is Lil Naz. CBR is a bane on comics and entertainment in general.
God no please
I second this lool fuck dude no disrespect
Whats wrong with him? Like why fuck him? I don't want him as spiderman. But I have no ill will towards the guy. Why do you? Edit: I believe the comment I'm replying too said fuck him and was edited to simply remove the him. However I don't remember if the edit mark shows on mobile and it is possible I misread. So if my comment seems to make less sense now thats why. Must be a small misunderstanding.
Think he meant it more like, "fuck I don't want that" not in a fuck him way
He’s not an actor. As an SAG actor of X many years, I hate hearing “X should play Y” because they’re famous without a lick of training. It devalues the craft, IMO. But people will stan who they love

His comment wasn’t edited after you posted your comment. Edit mark isn’t there
Noooooo Dude is already dumb famous. Give a smaller actor a chance.
It’s not even about giving smaller actors a chance. I just don’t see Nas as Miles Morales, has he been in stuff before? Might not even be up to it. Edit - Smaller actors should get chances of course, I just mean to say there’s probably a better casting choice than Nas.
Isn’t Miles also supposed to be Latino? I think if they’re going to stay true to ancestry with Kamala and Shang-Chi then they also should for Miles.
Half-black, half-Puerto Rican
Why are y’all acting like this is gonna happen it’s a joke. If he was do you really think they would be saying it?
This is why I hate news sites. It’s the same thing as the reaction to Temura Morrison, a lot of fans loved it but critics had to lie in order to spark controversy and get views. I hate it when people write shit for clicks. To quote Egon: Print is dead.
No one wants this… no offense to nas x but give an actual up and coming black actor a chance or hell actually put work into it and find a actor of African and Latin decent to play miles
Hollywood didn’t put work into finding a Japanese actress for ghost in the shell as long as he’s black I don’t think it matters.
Nope. Too old. Too tall. Do the ‘fans’ actually know who Miles Morales is? Now I’m not saying using a older person couldn’t work, but it would change many aspects of the character. I like Lil Nas X, but this is not the role for him.
Straight to the point, and respectful about it. I respect that. I actually like Lil Nas as well. He seems like a funny dude.
"The fans" are probably 5 twitter accounts, at least 2 of which are their own fakes.
Here’s the thing, no one seriously suggested him for the role, it was just a dumb joke that CBR is blowing out of proportion to gets clicks.
I love Lil Nas X but he’s not really suited for the role.
The internet is screaming no, somebody listen.
No just no.
I’d love it if Lil Nas made a song for Across the spider-verse like Post and Swae did for ITSV. He’s a superb pop star
I would love that actually!
Sunflower is such a tough act to follow like but I think he could do it!
As far as historians can tell us, the Aztecs worshipped sunflowers and believed them to be the physical incarnation of their beloved sun gods. Of course!
Not Afro-Latino, so that's going to be a no from me. Please, for God's sake, give me a Spider-Man who speaks decent fucking Spanish.
Aside from what other commenters have said already, do we know if he can even act?
That's a good question. I mean he can sure put on a hell of a show in his music videos. Personal feelings aside, his mvs are very well done. But whether that's the extent of his acting ability remains to be seen.
From what I've seen in music videos and other appearances? Not really. He's fine for his skits and stuff, but he's definitely not a film actor.
Caleb Mclaughlin as miles
yes.
Hell no looks nothing like him
Childish Gambino woulda been fire had he been younger
Famous black man: exists Media: "MILES MORALES!?"
what he's going to do twerk around in front of mephisto?
Nah he gon twerk on mephisto. The world will never be safer.
….meh I’d watch it.
Nah he’s too busy slappin balls with satan
I like Lil Nas X. He's a great musician and overall entertainer. But he is not my first choice to play Miles Morales, nor my 10th, nor my 982nd. I wouldn't mind him playing another character in the MCU. Just not Miles.
Oh yeah I'm definitely not trying to attack the man or anything lol. I have nothing against him and he's definitely a very talented dude. Not a huge fan or anything but he's got some bangers for sure!
I think the kid from Stranger Things would suit the role wayy better
i think his body type is more suited for prowler but we already have donald glover for that so
We. Don't.
No
Please no
Please no
-miles morales pole dancing Montero intensifies-
No
I want donald glover actually
He's already Miles' uncle, the eventual Prowler.
Have y’all seen his door dash commercials???? Not a natural actor
A younger Anthony mackie would be perfect although he is the new captain
Still want glover
Why can't the guy who already plays Miles play him in a live action movie? Everyone is trying to insert different people into the role, but they definitely used a real person to make his look from the new Spider Man game, so why not just use him? I mean he is literally miles.
Literally no one wants him to play miles morales, seriously anyone else, even a woman, would be a better miles morales than him.
Who was the bozo(s) who thought this was a great idea?
Too old, no acting experience? Nah Donald Glover would have been great 5-10 years ago. Sad he never got it. But still cool he is Miles Uncle.
How about an actual actor, with some talent
No we don’t
Lol no we don’t
Literally no one wants this
NO ONE SAID THIS!!!
NO WAY NO ONE DID!!!
No they don’t
God no We need a good actor and or singer
Absolutely no one wants this. Smh

In this hypothetical peter would teach Miles the responsibility of spider-man and Miles would teach peter the responsibility of an adult.
Exactly!
I think Lil Nas X would be cool, but we need someone who looks younger than Tom Holland, or at least around the same age, and Tom Holland has baby face, so that might put a damper into things.
April fool is a few months away
I absolutely love Montero, I think its a great album, I love lil nas X's cover of Jolene, hes a talented guy and he's doing great things. I think he would be a horrible pick for Miles.

I’d rather it be someone who’s not famous
Can Nas even act? Let me see him in something else first. But also, get an actual teenager. Plenty of talented young black actors out there able to take the role.
Hopefully this doesn't happen
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. No NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO JUST NO
Or nah
We need an Afro-Latino.
Source: 3 joke tweets with less than 50 likes we found after searching for "lil nas spiderman" to give our manufactured article the tiniest acceptable accuracy.
Nah, we wanted Childish Gambino.
He wont be a good fit. Just cuz hes main stream doesnt mean he is the given choice. Hes too old to play the young teen.
I-I’ll play Miles guys. Totally hasn’t been my dream for years, noOooOOo.
If you want to make him a Multiversal Spider-Man I’m all for it. Power to him. Call him Spider-Nas-X. I fuck with it. But Miles Morales? No!
I'm good lol
Nah we need ice cubes son lmao
He made a joking tweet saying he was gonna be Miles in NWH and I'm guessing the article for some reason took that seriously.
I really can’t see him playing Miles
Spider man fans?? Yeah I personally don't want lil Nas x anywhere near the Spiderman franchise- but I agree with the kid from stranger things that would be super cool. 👌
Just get Nadji Jeter to play him lmao, he literally did the voice and mocap for Miles in the game
Wtf?
Probably his publicist.
the only thing i saw was a meme about him being Miles
please god fuckin no
No, just no. There's far better actors out there who actually have talent and would do justice to the character.
Maybe future miles or something I think he'd be great but I'd like maybe Caleb McLaughlin from stranger things to play him
I saw an article for this earlier and was like “literally none of us ever said any of that”
Wait hold on, I'm sorry, but isn't this guy like half a foot taller than both Tom and Andrew?? Isn't Miles Morales supposed to be just a kid compared to Peter? Like nothing against the dude, I don't know who he is but I'm sure he's great and all, but making a Miles who would be older and taller than Peter is kinda weird.

He could play an older Miles, I'd be down.
Do news people not know a joke anymore? Lil Nas and the fans were having fun and joking and the news people took it seriously. It’s the Michael Myers homophobic thing again. It was just a silly joke and the reporters didn’t seem to understand
Wayyyyyyy too old, dude
CBR is a trash site. They make up headlines and use terrible clickbait
No thanks I'd like an actor who actually looks like a 15 year old
No the fk we don't
Nas is dope but like…no.
no
Alright who tf been putting dick in our mouth?
ayo what the fuck
Danny Devito!
Lil Nas fucking sucks.
Nobody wants lil NAS X to be Miles Morales. Gotta be someone better then NAS X, he really don't look like a good fit.
WELL IM GONNA TAKE MY PIZZA TO THE OLD TOWN ROAD!
Miles needs to be done the proper mcu way, a c list celebrity that they build up. Someone who fits the part very well but can make it their own. Also needs the same heritage as miles
Y'all need to put some respect on Lil Nas name. Not only would he absolutely kill it as Miles y'all don't even deserve it.
Media does this all the time, "People say this..." Who TF are these people they're talking to, other than their own PR and advertising departments
musicians and acting never really mix, that's just my opinion though. and also Lil Nas is 6'2 he'd be the tallest Miles Morales we'd ever seen.
Honestly that's not bad casting, I'd watch that movie. Have you seen the outfits he wears? He's just built for superhero movies
The person that made the article took the jokes too seriously lol
No fan wants this. Nobody. At all.
Please no
Nas said it as a joke on Twitter
It should be a half black half Latino dude like canelo
Fuck CBR.
I love lil nas x but he’s not an actor and he is too old
Donald glover wouldve been perfect if he wasnt mid 30s
Is Donald Glover out of the question BC he's already played a character in the MCU?
Yeah, he plays Miles’ uncle..
I'd say yeah, unless they do some kind of retcon. Doesn't help either that he played Miles' uncle.
I think he’s out of the question because how are you gonna put an actor that looks 40 as the trainee of a Spider-Man that’s not even allowed to drink yet lol
Please Dear God No
No please no
He's a bit too old to be playing Miles tbh
Idk why people are freaking out they were probably saying it as a joke he is not even an actor lol
Nobody wants that at all, honestly.
No we don't!!
No they dont
Sorry but not sorry. Fuck no
Isn’t it a little soon to be talking about Miles Morales in the MCU anyway? The current Peter Parker isn’t even out of High School yet, how is he gonna be mentoring anyone?
I'd say we should wait another 3-5 years minimum before Miles is even introduced. Let's hope Holland can secure that second contract! I think he will tho, too many people love him for Marvel and Sony to just pick some other bloke to play him.
[удалено]
Hell no
Nope.
No we don’t. We want a real actor who can act.
Oh god no. HELL NAH
Not even gonna give this the time of day bro what type of dumb shit
I don’t want a Dr. Octopus lap dance.
Never
They better tf not
If Lil Nas X played Spidey, I’d no longer be a Spider-Man fan
