The developers of hit PS5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 say Miles Morales is the "main" Spider-Man from now on, which has caused some fans to speculate about what Insomniac may do with the inevitable Spider-Man 3.

Miles is the protagonist of easily the best super hero films since The Incredibles. Into The Spider-Verse is a universally acclaimed masterpiece. I don't think Insomniac need any luck; Miles is pretty popular already.

Miles is absolutely established as a hero of his own merit and right. Thats not a question. He absolutely stands shoulder to shoulder with parker.

But does he pass parker? Can he surpass what a lot of people consider to be the best marvel super hero, in his own costume and title? I dunno, Im not sure on that.

This might also be a generational question. Ask a kid, they might answer Miles. Ask a millennial or older who grew up with Parker primarily, likely a different answer

That's a very interesting answer!

It is however true Miles hasn't really appeared in the MCU (for teenagers and adults) nor is it made to be the main character in "Spidey and his amazing friends" kid TV series (though he's well featured).

I suppose the Spider verse movies are good at making Miles Morales even more popular and can turn the perception, but new generations still get to see an awful lot of Peter.
