Sony’s Spider-Man universe has been expanding rapidly, with hits like Venom and Into the Spider-Verse captivating audiences worldwide. However, the recent addition as a standalone film, Madame Web starring Dakota Johnson, failed to impress both critics and viewers. Despite this setback, Sony remains undeterred in its ambitious plans for the franchise.
Upcoming projects include a third installment in the animated Into the Spider-Verse series and a potential live-action film focusing on Miles Morales. And in the light of Madame Web’s lukewarm reception, reports suggest that Sony is considering seeking the expertise of Marvel head Kevin Feige for the development of the potential Miles Morales movie.
Sony Reportedly Seeking Assistance From Marvel Boss For Future Spider-Man Films
Over the past few years, there have been numerous rumors about Sony’s plans for a live-action Miles Morales movie, and the character’s soaring popularity in the Spider-Verse movies and the Spider-Man video games have further fueled the specualtions.
Amid such specualtions, producer Amy Pascal recently addressed the possibility of a Miles Morales film. She shared that they are not planning another film on the web-swinging superhero “until we make two more movies.”
Spider-Verse producer and writer Christopher Miller later clarified on X (Twitter) that Pascal’s statement referred to Beyond the Spider-Verse and Tom Holland’s upcoming MCU film. And the new reports via insider Daniel Richtman have claimed that Pascal reportedly wants Kevin Feige involved with the highly anticipated project.
This move is significant, especially considering rumors that Marvel Studios aims to introduce the fan-favorite Spider-Verse character in the MCU through the upcoming Spider-Man film. However, the studio has not officially confirmed such claims.
Fans React to Kevin Feige’s Potential Involvement in the Miles Morales Film
Fans eagerly anticipating a solo film for Miles Morales are intrigued by the possibility of Marvel head Kevin Feige’s involvement. Reacting to the news on X (Twitter), a fan stated that the move would potentially benefit Sony’s superhero universe, arguing, “They don’t know how to make a Spider-Man movie at Sony.”
Others shared how Miles could be introduced in a post-credit scene of Tom Holland’s upcoming MCU film Spider-Man 4 and the studio could seamlessly integrate the character into the subsequent film. Many remarked that they are hoping the film to be at least better than Madame Web, which has been heavily criticized by critics and audience alike.
She better. They don’t know how to make a Spider-Man movie at Sony. At all

Maybe do a post credit scene at the end of Spider-Man 4 and introduce the character in SM5?
