Caleb McLaughlin Revisits Miles Morales Casting Hopes

Caleb McLaughlin, best known for Stranger Things, has again expressed interest in playing Miles Morales. Kevin Feige has openly said he wants Miles to appear in live-action, but no official casting has been announced. “I would love to play Miles,” McLaughlin told Variety at a screening of his new movie Goat.

“I think Miles represents something bigger than myself; it represents something bigger than most people.” He noted his Bronx upbringing and said that connection to New York made the Spider‑Verse story feel especially resonant to him. Fan enthusiasm has been intense.

Comment sections reportedly fill with calls for McLaughlin whenever he posts, and people have mocked up posters pairing his Miles with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. He remains a popular fan choice for the role. For now, Miles will continue in animation: Spider‑Man: Beyond the Spider‑Verse is due June 18, 2027, with Shameik Moore returning as the voice of Miles.
