SPIDER-MAN: Sony Casting Call Hints Miles Morales Is Featured

Casting Call Suggests Miles Morales Is Involved In Sony Animation’s Spider-Man Film

A listing in Sony Animation‘s casting call for what is believed to be its planned Spider-Man movie indicates that Miles Morales will be the protagonist of the film.

Speculation was sparked when Backstage published a call for a Sony production titled Cabin Fever, which is widely believed to be a codename for their animated Spider-Man project. According to the listing, the studio is looking to cast a character who sounds remarkably like Morales:

For Terrence, the studio is looking for a male between 13 – 15 who is described as “a young African-American/Puerto Rican teen from Brooklyn; he is new to this suburban school and now feeling out of place, overwhelmed, pressured with new responsibilities, and dealing with puberty; while trying to fit in he must do his best to stay out of trouble; along the way in developing his identity he’s losing old friends but now making a new one, Pete.” That definitely sounds an awful lot like Miles Morales!

Before you go assuming that “Pete” is Peter Parker, a description for that character (aged 13 – 16) points to that not being the case. Instead, he’s going to be “a young, slighgtly geeky, Asian-American teen; he’s smart, sweet, and encouraging; although very unlike any of the friends Terrence had in his old Brooklyn neighborhood, Pete proves to be a good fit for Terrence making good decisions.”

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
