¡IT WILL BE MILES MORALES! Reports Claim Actor #JadenSmith Has Signed for Multiple #MarvelStudios Projects Over the Next 10 Years, Set to Play MILES MORALES in the MCU

In a bombshell that has Marvel fans buzzing with excitement, reports surfaced today, March 22, 2025, claiming that Jaden Smith has inked a deal to join Marvel Studios for multiple projects spanning the next decade—and not just any role, but as Miles Morales in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The news, which has set social media ablaze, ties Smith to the iconic young Spider-Man, with speculation pointing to a live-action debut in Avengers: Secret Wars. Sources suggest this Miles is the same character fans adored in the animated hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, now poised to swing into the MCU with Jaden Smith, son of Hollywood titan Will Smith, bringing him to life as of 9:37 PM PDT.

Miles Morales burst onto the comics scene in 2011 as the Spider-Man of the Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610), quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. His star rose further with the 2018 Oscar-winning Into the Spider-Verse and the 2020 video game Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. In the comics, Miles plays a pivotal role in the 2015 Secret Wars event, teaming up with Peter Parker to battle multiversal threats, ultimately merging his reality with the main Earth-616 timeline. The Russo Brothers, directors of the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars slated for 2027, reportedly see Miles as a linchpin for their vision, aiming to integrate him into the MCU’s Phase 6. Casting Jaden Smith, 26, in this role has sparked a whirlwind of reactions, blending hype with heated debate.

Smith’s connection to Spider-Man isn’t entirely new. In 2020, he lent his voice to “I’m Ready” for the Miles Morales game soundtrack, hinting at an affinity for the character. Rumors of his involvement kicked off in 2022 when he posted a cryptic X update with a Spider-Man mask, captioned, “Wya, I’m tryna swing by,” fueling fan theories. Now, posts on X from March 17, 2025, claim Smith has secured a 10-year deal with Marvel Studios, with Miles as his centerpiece. Sources allege this live-action Miles builds directly on the animated version voiced by Shameik Moore, offering a seamless bridge from Sony’s Spider-Verse to the MCU. If true, this move could cement Marvel’s multiverse narrative, especially after Spider-Man: No Way Home blew open the doors to alternate realities.

The groundwork for Miles in the MCU has been subtly laid. Donald Glover’s Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) name-dropped a nephew—Miles—while his live-action cameo as the Prowler in Across the Spider-Verse (2023) teased a crossover. Electro’s line in No Way Home about a “Black Spider-Man” out there further stoked anticipation. With Tom Holland’s Peter Parker still swinging strong, Miles’ arrival could introduce a mentor-protégé dynamic straight from the comics, enriching the MCU’s Spider-Man saga. The Russo Brothers’ focus on Secret Wars—a story where Miles helps rebuild reality—makes his inclusion a natural fit, potentially debuting in Spider-Man 4 before the multiversal showdown.

Jaden Smith brings a distinct flavor to the table. Known for The Pursuit of Happyness alongside his father and The Karate Kid reboot, his career has had ups and downs, but his personal journey—navigating fame as a second-generation star—mirrors Miles’ struggle to step out of Peter’s shadow. At 26, Smith’s recent physical transformation and quirky charisma have won over some fans, though others question his fit. Critics on X argue he’s too old to play a teenage Miles, advocating for younger Afro-Latino actors to honor the character’s Brooklyn-Puerto Rican roots. Supporters counter that his energy and star power could redefine Miles for a new audience, much like Holland reshaped Peter.

If the reports hold, Smith’s decade-long pact signals a major commitment. Beyond Avengers: Secret Wars, he could headline Spider-Man 4—rumored for 2026—or spin off into solo projects, weaving Miles into the MCU-Sony tapestry. The Russos, masters of spectacle, might use Secret Wars to fuse universes, with Miles as a unifying force. Neither Marvel Studios nor Sony has confirmed the news, leaving room for skepticism, but the chatter is deafening. X posts reflect the divide: “Jaden as Miles could slap!” one fan enthuses, while another grumbles, “This better be fake—Miles deserves better casting.”

As Avengers: Secret Wars looms on the horizon, Miles Morales’ MCU arrival feels imminent, and Jaden Smith might just be the face to launch it. Whether he swings into greatness or stumbles under the weight of expectation, the prospect has electrified fans. From animated webs to live-action streets, Miles is poised to leave his mark—and if Smith’s the one wearing the mask, the next decade of Marvel could be a wild ride. For now, the rumor mill spins, and the Spider-Verse grows ever closer to reality.
