It was recently announced that the upcoming Sony animated Spider-Man movie will feature Miles Morales under the mask.
Sony Pictures Animation announced the news at a presentation which also saw writers Phil Lord and Chris Miller state the film “has a lot of heart, a lot of action, and a lot of laughs” in addition to showing off a Spider-Man teaser.
The animated Spider-Man footage featured concept art and a graffity-style red and blue spider logo. Coming Soon also reports the Miles Morales Spider-Man costume appars to be more in line with the classic blue and red Peter Parker Spider-Man design and not the black and red Ultimate Comics Spider-Man costume. Footage included the Miles Morales Spider-Man chasing Prowler and a massive Green Goblin statue. It’s noted the animation was in an early form of development, but it appears the animated Spider-Man movie will feature a “style that combines classic comic book illustrations with CGI,” as during the action sequences, “the frames flash from CGI to having textures straight out of a comic book.”
The animated Spider-Man movie hits December 21, 2018 directed by The Little Prince‘s Bob Persichetti and Rise of the Guardians‘ Peter Ramsey. Lord and Miller are also serving as executive producers.
