Juliano Valdi, who played young Michael Jackson in the biopic "Michael," said he would like to play Miles Morales in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Valdi is currently 12 years old, so the actor hopes to reach the right age for the role by the time the character appears:
"I've reached the age where I really want to play Miles Morales, so hopefully I can. I'm not 15 yet, but I'd love to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
Valdi also said that he became interested in Spider-Man after watching Sam Raimi's films. The actor considers his physical resemblance to Miles, which his mother noticed, an additional argument:
"I remember watching 'Spider-Man' with Tobey Maguire, and it was the best action movie I had ever seen. And my mom also says I look like Miles Morales. That's really cool."
Marvel Studios has not yet announced casting for the role of Miles. In July 2026, studio head Kevin Feige confirmed plans to introduce the character into the cinematic universe, but this will only happen after the completion of the animated trilogy "Across the Spider-Verse." Its final part, "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse," will be released on June 18, 2027.
Tom Holland himself also hopes to pass the baton to Miles one day. According to the actor, he would like to help the future performer of the role in the same way that Robert Downey Jr. once helped him:
"I definitely have a desire to bring Miles Morales to the screen and help that lucky young guy who gets the role, just like Robert Downey Jr. helped me. I think that would be a really amazing way to end my career as Spider-Man."
According to Holland, Marvel already has an idea of when the new Spider-Man will appear in the cinematic universe, but the studio has not yet revealed specific plans.
