In addition to the upcoming live-action Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017 starring Tom Holland, 2018 will see another Spidey feature, in animation form, developed by the Lego Movie's creative team Phil Lord and Chris Miller

Is it like a TV show or a movie?

[ZariusTwo]

Is it like a TV show or a movie?

It's theatrical.

[Krutch]

Sweet! Always down for some Spidey :D

[ProactiveMan]

I've been saying for years that I think they should make some of these superhero movies 100% animated. Spider-Man would be a good fit, and he's fairly kid friendly, so it could work out great. I'd love to see some harder edge stuff in full theatrical animation, but that may be a hard sell.

[CyberCubed]

Damn, I thought this was a new cartoon that would replace Ultimate Spiderman.

[Krutch]

I'd love to see Pixar handle a Marvel movie. Incredibles showed they know what they're doing when it comes to the superhero genre.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Also Big Hero 6, although that's Disney... but yeah, superheroes in animated kid-aimed entertainment on the big screen does work.

[Foombamaroom]

So, Sony's still greedy as ****.

I'm just guessing this is going to be kinda like what the Lego Batman movie is; kids are gonna see it, but no one's really gonna care.

[raph27]

So...is this in canon with the new Tom Holland movies or its own thing? Weird either way.

Entirely separate thing.
Think Lego Batman.

You do know a lot of people are anticipating Lego Batman right? The trailers were better received than Dawn of Justice

[TonySiegel]

bring on spiderverse... nah to dark... you know think of the children...

There are infants who write better than Slott

[TLP]

There are infants who write better than Slott

Good to know I'm not the only one who detests Slott's horrid writing.

Funny fact: Would you believe that over ComicBookResource, most of the users there actually worship him as this "great" writer? :ohwell: Yeah, I left that place a long time ago.

CBR's been a toilet for years, it does'nt help one of the admins is a big fan of Slott and lets him run rampant there whenever someone is ever so slightly critical of his dogturd comics.

Not all of CBR's that bad, it's Superman section is great (whenever they're not bitching over N52 Supes being replaced by PFP Supes), and despite Cullen Bunn having his own forum there, he was royally roasted for his awful run on Aquaman to the point he had to apologize publicly for it

[ZariusTwo]

According to this site, Miles Morales will be the star of this one

[Splinter the boss]

What! No Peter Parker. What the heck! The guy is really funny.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I'd be fine with that. No one will ever top Josh Keaton as the best animated Spidey anyway.

[TurtleTitan97]

I'd support it. I'm a fan of Miles.

[Bry]

I am all for a Miles Morales movie. I wonder if Donald Glover will voice him like he did in the Ultimate cartoon? Itd be kind of funny if that old "Donald for Spider-Man" movie campaign kinda worked out in the end.

[TigerClaw]

I'm all for Miles Morales being in the animated SpiderMan film, it won't interfere with the Marvel Studios version.

[Splinter the boss]

I'm okay with it too. It's just that Parker's usually done. It came as unexpected to me, that's all. It's time they give Miles the spotlight.

[ToTheNines]

I'm with it. Hope it's true.

[plastroncafe]

Sweet! I'm looking forward to Miles.

[raph27]

This is a fantastic idea. I was really confused why there would be a Spidey movie with different versions of the same characters that are in the live action one. But using a non-Peter Spidey is genius. They can have two different stories of two different people behind the mask running at the same time, while introducing Miles to the mainstream audience in case they use him in the live action movies eventually.

Also Miles is definitely my favorite non-Peter Spider-Man. Very happy right now.

[BabyTurtles]

I hope we get Miles~ Too much Petey anyway XD

also it would be an awesome way to introduce him to people who don't read the comics. (I guess he is in the cartoons now though)

[Splinter the boss]

He is in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. He is a member of the web warriors. I like him. He is funny and a kid Peter looks out for. Hopefully we see more of him in the theaters.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

If it's Miles I'm out. I don't care to see Spdey 2.0 I'm interested in the REAL deal.

[raph27]

You're getting the "real deal" with the Tom Holland movies. Plus Miles is great too, give him a chance.

[TurtleTitan97]

Casting call for the movie. Pretty much confirms Miles will be Spider-Man and that Ganke will also appear: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man/casting-call-for-sonys-animated-spider-man-movie-pretty-much-confirms-a147798

Sorry but been there done that and thought it was a cheap and unoriginal steaming puddle of puke. He is litearally a black version of young Peter, and even has an almost identical origin. He's just there for diversity's sake, which I find utterly annoying. Not to mention insulting to fans of the REAL Spider-Man. If he had to have a replacement, why not make it his own kid like in Spider-Girl? That makes more sense anyway, because what are the odds that two people would end up with the same powers from the same kind of accident and have almost the same background and history, but years apart? Sorry, didn't buy it when it was introduced and I don't buy it now. Same goes for the abyssmal cliched stereotype that is the new Ms. Marvel.

[BabyTurtles]

Well I can't wait!

I love animated movies :D and superheroes are my favorite!

Plus I love me some Miles~

How is that insulting the fans of the REAL Spider-Man when he's still active in comics ???

Barry Allen and Wally West say hi.

[ZariusTwo]

A friendly reminder that the "real" Spider-Man is a devil-dealing man-baby who hasn't been relevant in well over ten years and has been sharply outdone by the mature and headstrong father and husband of the Renew Your Vows series and even by the prone-to-routine goofiness newspaper strip version who happens to be happy with MJ.

Advantage: Miles.

More like Advantage: Peter (RNYV). That is what the fans want not forcing diversity within an established identity instead of coming up with something original for a character who happens not to be a white male.

Whats your thoughts on Flash Thompson

NO, he isn't. He died for me the minute he made that idiotic deal with Mephisto. I was talking about the "real" Peter, not the whiney man-child who couldn't let go they turned him into. Though I'm hopeful that RYV will eventually fix that mistake for good.

As you know, I don't actually count anything post-OMD since the majority of that material was woefully out of character for both Peter and M-J. I meant the REAL Peter. Before he lost his mind and let the devil meddle in his past. I mean WTF was he even THINKING?! So dumb. For me, RYV Peter is as close to the REAL deal as we have now. I sort of hope he will eventually replace that fraud ASM has become.

Agreed. Both 616 "Peter" and "MJ" need replacing. Neither resemble anything remotely close to the characters they replaced. I'm still hoping all the OMD callbacks last year were part of a larger plan that involves undoing that mess or revealing the RYV reality is linked to the real universe and bringing the Parker family back into the mainline canon.

Whats your thoughts on Flash Thompson

A great character with sizeable ups and downs, goes from being Spidey's number one fan to a web swinger himself as the host for Venom. Pity he and the symbiote have parted company since.

[TurtleTitan97]

That still doesn't explain your early statement about how the presence of Miles is insulting to fans of the REAL Spider-Man. Because before he came to the main universe, he replaced Ultimate Comics Peter Parker (AKA a Peter Parker who was just one in a million versions that existed in the multiverse) after he sacrificed himself to save his friends and family.

So again I ask, how is the existence of Miles an insult to Pre-OMD Spider-Man and his fans? Because it sounds like your blaming a fictional character for breaking up Peter's marriage and how he has been treated since then, not the writers.

[ZariusTwo]

And, again, it's not like Peter stopped being married after OMD except in the mainline canon. He's still married to this day in other ongoing mediums.

I like Miles, he didn't even exist when OMD was published, so I don't know where the blame game is coming from in regards to that. I get the criticism that he's a tad too powerful (his venom blast can deflect DEMONS) but he's definitely a different kettle of fish from Peter in that he is a teenager in today's world and Peter was a teen of a different, more simplified era

Ultimate Peter didn't die either, he came back to life just before Miles was transported to the mainline universe.

[Coola Yagami]

If it's Miles, why is he wearing Peter's costume, and looks about his height? I really hope they do Miles justice and don't just make him black Peter Parker. Miles is his own character with his own motivations and supporting cast. As long as they keep him as Miles, I'm all for it.

Just kinda wish they used Parker for the first ever spiderman animated movie. Imagine batman having his first ever animated movie but it being about Dick or Azrael instead.

He should be called The Spider instead of Spider-Man. It's at least different. As for an animated film without Bruce as Batman, Dick Grayson as Batman works perfectly and one of the rare exceptions of a successor actually working. Why? Because Dick has been around less than a year later at Bruce's side and was always assumed to succeed him one day going back to the 1940's. Its different with Miles Morales. He is a minority for the sake of being a minority and in a heroic identity already established by another without years of helping and coexisting with the original.The way its set up now in the comics gives everyone what they want. Peter is married, Peter is single, a non-white Spider-Man is active, a pair of female Spider allies get focus. Even a clone! Let the other media focus on THE Spider-Man.

The first page of this very topic? Unless that was just random stock art from other media, which in that case I stand corrected.

It is stock image. That's Peter from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.

Dick has been Batman for a good year until Bruce came back, so it would be comic accurate, but if they did that everyone would complain that 'they got it all wrong. Why is robin batman and where the **** is bruce?'

[TurtleTitan97]

Sony officially confirms Miles Morales as the star of the film. As expected, it will be a standalone film and not connected to the MCU. They apparently showed off concept art and test footage today at a presentation in LA. Peter Ramsey (Rise of the Guardians)has come aboard to co-direct with Bob Persichetti. Target release date is 12/21/18: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man/miles-morales-confirmed-for-sonys-animated-spider-man-movie-as-first-a148270
