Miles Moral is first played by Shameik Moore in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Now, according to numerous reports, Will Smith's son Jaden Smith is currently in talks for playing Miles Morales in the MCU. These rumors got solidified when The Karate Kid actor posted a tweet wearing a Spiderman mask.

Now, Jaden's father seemingly confirmed that his son is training for a major role. In an interview with POPTime, Will Smith revealed, “My son is preparing himself physically and mentally to get a place as one of the characters who will make history for the first time in the saga of a movie that many already know and ask for.”

Now that the three generations of Spiderman reunited in Spiderman: No Way Home, it looks like Marvel is crafting a huge Spiderverse that would include Miles Morales in the future and Will Smith’s cryptic statement just confirmed that Jaden Smith is indeed playing Miles Morales in the future. Is he going to make a cameo in the MCUs Spiderverse soon?

Jaden Smith would be perfect for Miles Morales as the actor had starred in multiple films that highlight his acting skills and athleticism in films like After Earth and The Karate Kid.

It's also worth noting that in the events of No Way Home, Jamie Foxx's Electro dropped a very subtle easter egg and questioned, “How come Spider-Man isn’t black?” which hinted at the future arrival of the first black Spiderman, Miles Morales.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is streaming in Disney+.
