Morbius Director Promises Miles Morales Will Eventually Join The MCU

gamerant.com:

Morbius director Daniel Espinosa fully believes that fan-favorite Miles Morales will eventually make his official grand introduction into the MCU. Espinosa is the director of Sony's latest Spider-Man spinoff flick, Morbius, which has received various negative reviews — with a shockingly low Rotten Tomatoes score of 15%.

Morbius' performance at the box office and with audiences has been one of the worst Marvel has seen in a while. The Spider-Man spinoff film stars actor Jared Leto as the titular character of a scientist who is suffering from a rare-blood disease. While conducting various experiments to try and cure himself, he accidentally ends up giving himself a strange form of vampirism. On the other hand, the character of Miles Morales couldn’t be more beloved from fans versus the criticism Morbius was met with.

Now, in a recent interview with Uproxx to discuss his latest release, Morbius director Espinosa has shared his thoughts regarding the debate as to whether or not Miles Morales will ever be making his way to the MCU. Espinosa was quite insistent on the fact that it’s never been a matter of whether Miles will be crossing over to the MCU, it’s more of a question as to when. He stated, “I would bet your life on that you would have Miles Morales from the Spider-Verse in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point.”

The character of Miles Morales first originated from the Marvel Comics back in 2011. Morales is an alternate version of Spider-Man — a teenager who acquires superpowers similar to Peter Parker's after he is bitten by a radioactive spider. Miles exploded in popularity and gained massive attention after the release of 2018’s
