Sony’s animated Spider-Man film to feature Miles Morales

Sony Pictures Animation officially announced today that their upcoming animated Spider-Man movie will not feature Peter Parker as the titular webslinger but instead the fan-favorite character, Miles Morales!

Little else is known about the project, but 21 Jump Street and The LEGO Movie filmmakers Phil Lord and Chris Miller are set to write the script and produce the film, which will be directed by The Little Prince‘s Bob Persichetti, who is joined by Rise of the Guardians‘ Peter Ramsey. Look for it to swing into theaters on December 21, 2018.

Created by Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli, Miles Morales first appeared Ultimate Fallout #4 following the death of Peter Parker. The character has some of the same powers as the original Spider-Man, but he is also capable of briefly turning invisible and even a venom sting that can paralyze his foes.

The character originally only lived in the “Ultimate” Marvel Universe, but he has since transitioned into the Marvel U proper where he fights alongside the adult Peter Parker and even has a blossoming romance with the alternate universe Gwen Stacy, who acts as Spider-Woman in her world.

Before this animated feature premieres, Tom Holland will be putting on the Spider-Man mask as Peter Parker in the live action Spider-Man: Homecoming on July 7, 2017.
