When asked about the possibility of bringing Miles Morales into Sony’s Cinematic Universe, the architects of that universe - Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach - responded with a pretty emphatic “NO.” Which is ironic considering that one of the initial concepts for the retweaked Spidey suit bore a pretty unmistakable likeness to the Ultimate costume.īefore we move on, let’s take a step back.
