Announced almost two years ago, Sony has been in development of an animated Spider-Man film produced by The Lego Movie (and untitled young Han Solo movie) directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. This, is, of course running concurrently with their co-production with Marvel Studios – Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Now thanks to a Sony Pictures press conference held today, we know that this new animated feature will focus on the tale of Miles Morales rather than Peter Parker.
.@PhilipLord and @ChrizMillr are bringing the Miles Morales story to the big screen in all-new animated stand-alone SPIDER-MAN feature.

It’s amazing to consider, but Miles has been around for over half a decade now, having been introduced in Ultimate Fallout. He’s now an essential piece of the mythos and a rightfully celebrated character. He’s already appeared in animated form before, having been voiced by Donald Glover in the Ultimate Spider-Man television series. One only hopes we’ll get a live action version soon in subsequent Spider-Man features.
Meanwhile, Disney/Marvel, which won a Best Animated Feature Oscar for Big Hero 6, has yet to announce ANY more Marvel features!
