Miles Morales IS Officially Part Of The MCU

Kevin Feige has confirmed that Morales does exist in the MCU.

Feige spoke to Screen Crush, to discuss how, during Spider-Man: Homecoming, Glover’s Aaron Davis casually mentions his nephew and while he doesn’t specifically name-check him, Feige teased the fact that it’s Miles by confirming that “anything that’s happened in the books” is fair-game for Marvel to use. This makes the previous comments about them not using characters Sony is using somewhat confusing…

Feige also revealed they’re very consciously teasing Morales’ existence, almost as if they WANT us to set up a spin-off for ourselves…

“In the meantime, I think Miles is a big part of the animated movie that Sony’s making. But where we go… we definitely want you to go ‘[Miles] is there. He’s there somewhere.’”

The phrasing on the animated movie point definitely seems to suggest it won’t be tied to the MCU, so it will be interesting to see whether we might get both an animated and a live-action version of the character competing.
