            With the Spider-Man property being as hot as it’s ever been for Sony (thanks to Kevin Feige), it seems they won’t just settle for a live-action Spidey. The animated Spider-Man film that was penned by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie) that they were originally supposed to direct before the Han Solo movie came around has just cast their webbed-slinger. According to The Playlist, Shameik Moore will voice Miles Morales in the currently untitled animated feature.

            Miles Morales is the fan favorite Black and Hispanic character who has yet to be seen on the big screen so this is a good sign for die-hard fans. Moore was the lead in Rick Famuyiwa’s Dope and has a unique voice that I think will work perfectly for the character. It’s also important to note that Ray Donovan’s Live Schreiber will voice the villain in the movie as well. The film is scheduled to be released on December 21^st, 2018.

            Moore can be seen currently in the Netflix series, The Get Down. He’ll also be seen in James Franco’s Pretenders alongside Juno Temple, Brian Cox and Franco himself. What do you guys think about the casting of Moore for Miles Morales? Would you have cast someone else in the role? Comment below and let us know!
