Is there any possibility for Spider-Verse elements to appear in the MCU?

[LordUltimus]

I'd be interested to see MCU versions of Spider-Gwen, or even Miles Morales (even though, as noted, Tom Holland's Spider-Man takes influence from Miles already).

[Frontier]

I mean, with how popular they are it's probably reasonable to assume Marvel Studios might include them at some point, if they continue to make Spider-Man movies with Sony, and they have teased Miles.

I think the only issue then is figuring out how to incorporate them into the story of Holland's Peter. I don't think they should throw them in there just to have them, and upset the narrative of Spider-Man when Holland is still growing into the Spider-Man that people usually expect. I don't think he really needs to be bouncing of or hanging around with a bunch of other spider-people yet.

Like, I don't think Miles will work unless he's the younger Spider-Hero to Peter's older Spider-Man. They've tried to have them around the same age in some adaptions but I don't think it's worked as well compared to their dynamic when there's an actual age difference. Just compare the Marvel's Spider-Man cartoon to the PS4 game. But just including Miles in a Peter story runs the risk of turning him into a sidekick. And then there's the question of how they'll portray him when the MCU has lifted some personality traits and circumstances from Miles and given them to Peter.

I think I can see them re-framing Spider-Gwen as a Black Cat-type love interest, if Felicia is potentially off-limits and they're not going to do any variant on classic Gwen.

But maybe with the Spider-Verse animated movies taking off with those characters there will feel less of a need to have to have them in the MCU movies.

The MCU Spider-Man is produced by Disney and Sony. Sony still has the rights for all Spider-Man stuff. And the MCU Spider-Man is a deal whereby Marvel can use Spider-Man in crossovers and team-ups. That's where they make their real money. All the solo Spider-Man movies are essentially Sony movies still, and Sony gets most of the profits there.

So Miles and Spider-Gwen can come in the MCU if Sony says so. And after ITSV I don't see why they would want to do that.

Do you mean like creating new MCU versions of the characters in question or having a Roger Rabbit-style crossover?

[Kevinroc]

I would think there's a possibility for anything. The real question is how likely are they? And that's a lot harder to answer.

We still haven't even seen She-Hulk in any of these movies.

[Frontier]

We still haven't even seen She-Hulk in any of these movies.

Well, we haven't had a solo Hulk movie since 2008 because Marvel doesn't want to pay anything to Universal, which is probably the biggest reason on that front.

Less so an issue with Spider-Man right now, but She-Hulk is easier to integrate into a Hulk story then Miles and Spider-Gwen are in my opinion.

Creating new MCU versions.

[WebLurker]

Creating new MCU versions.

I guess I don't "need" to see them there, but if Sony has a good story in mind, let 'em do it.

[Hypestyle]

Just Miles is fine by me. Several years from now when Peter is clearly supposed to be off to college, grad school, etc.

[Scott Taylor]

Nah. Too much hassle and the MCU isn't going to have a married Spider-Man anywhere near it. I could see there being a time when some of the characters from Spider-verse show up in the MCU, but they'll be under different circumstances.

what other franchise is intended apart from Spiderman? X-men? Hulk? Iron Man?

I don't see the relevancy? Besides, Sony is making a Spider-Man-only cinematic universe as we speak that the Spider-Verse movie is technically a part of...

The movie is not cinematic universe intended. its a series that will have sequels and possible spin offs of Spiderman related stories/characters. This is the best Spiderman film since Spiderman 2, not having any cinematic nonsense or making a movie as a platform to set up something bigger ignoring the story (Amazing Spiderman movies) helped a lot. it was like the 2000s again when we had Spiderman 2 or X-Men 2.

Can we please just be allowed to enjoy pure stand alone movies again? some of us are sick of the cinematic universe nonsense. It was bad for us to sit through Spiderman as Iron Man's protege in Homecoming. this film is a good rebirth of what comic films are, not only as a Spiderman movie but for Marvel animation that has been in the gutter since Disney XD took over. As the fans of the thread have said, it needs to stay separate from the MCU.

Sounds like a cinematic universe to me.

Sony have no plans to introduce characters who are not spiderman characters. (No, X-Men, No Hulk, No Iron Man etcs) and its best that way. Spiderman does not need a diluted universe. The less appearances the better.

It is not a cinematic universe as MCU is built.

Transformers, Lion King, Shrek, Fast and Furious, Harry Potter are similar to what sony wants to do. MCU is a collection of a different series in a cinematic universe. It is not the same as spiderman.

is a spiderman game the same as a marvel alliance game?

Sony has no plans because they can't do that even if they wanted to. The rights for those characters belong with Marvel. They only have access to Spider-Man and his world. And to the extent you want the crossover stuff, the live-action MCU movies (which are Sony-Disney co-productions) do that anyway.

ITSV did have plans early on for a Dr. Strange cameo but they veto'd it quickly since they don't have access to that character.
