Spider-Man 3 set photos appear to show a possible Miles Morales connection. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding at a prodigious rate in Phase 4. In part, that's because it is now embracing the small screen, in a range of Disney+ TV series that will introduce characters like Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk. It's also because the MCU is operating on a grander scale, with the Multiverse becoming key to films like Spider-Man 3 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Naturally, that means there's been intense interest in whether the Spider-Man films could introduce Miles Morales, the teenager that replaced Peter Parker as Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe. Recently, Miles made his animated debut in the breakout hit Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Donald Glover played Miles' uncle Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Homecoming and he was name-dropped in a deleted scene in which Aaron apologized for not being able to meet up with his nephew - because he'd been webbed to his car by Spider-Man.
The latest set photos from Spider-Man 3 (via Reddit user u/Archon457) appear to show a Miles Morales connection. They show the logo of an organization called FEAST, a homeless shelter and soup kitchen that in the comics was set up by the villainous Mr. Negative. FEAST's profile has increased significantly of late because in the Spider-Man: Miles Morales game, Miles volunteered there.
It's not too tricky to figure out how FEAST could play into Spider-Man 3's story. Although Aunt May hasn't seen significant character development yet, she appears to be heavily involved with several local charities. In Spider-Man: Far From Home, she was even using her association with Spider-Man to help out. May Parker volunteered at FEAST in both the comics and in the Spider-Man: Miles Morales game, so it's reasonable to assume the same will be true here. The interesting question is whether or not May's connection to Spider-Man has become problematic, given her nephew has been outed as the wall-crawler and blamed for the Elemental attacks in Europe.
Evidence is building that Spider-Man 3 will feature several other iterations of the webhead, with reports of both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprising their iconic roles. If that is the case, this looks as though it could be the live-action version of Dan Slott's 2014 Spider-Verse event from the comics, and it wouldn't be the same without Miles Morales. Hopefully, this will prove more than a connection or the source of an Easter egg, and instead, Spider-Man 3 will see Peter Parker learn he's not the only Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in the MCU.
