maybe they'll have a sassy Aunt May who likes yoga and long morning jogs looking at young guys and their running shorts.

My buddy's grandma; when she turned 70, she decided to cut her morning run down from 10 miles to 7. So it's not out of the question.

Featured in two new title launches. I would imagine this is about the best push they can give him.

Never underestimate Disney's marketing techniques. These people know how to sell.

"The actor who will be playing the new Spider-Man was finally announced Tuesday, and while some fans were enthused by the pick of Brit Tom Holland, others were disappointed that the world was getting yet another white male superhero.

 

This may not just be idle online griping.

 

Unlike with, say, Superman or Daredevil, a more racially diverse alternative to Peter Parker/Spider-Man does exist in print.

 

He’s Miles Morales, a half-black, half-Latino teenager who first appeared in 2011."

Would the blogosphere be happier with a robot version?

You're making the false-assumption that the blogosphere will ever be satisfied or happy. They won't. They'll just find something else to & moan about.

The vast majority amount of people who will see the movie, and any Marvel movie, never heard of Miles Morales. Peter Parker is who they expect to see when they plunk down their $15 for a ticket

Sony / Disney woon't slit their throats financially to please the hashtaggers

They may have to ease into it like they seem to be doing with Winter Soldier as Cap.

why does race have to play into everything? I am Spanish and i love spider-man and im a hugh fan of miles morales but when you go to see a movie white, black, yellow, or purple it doesnt matter we are going to see spider-man and last time i check he wears a mask and we are really paying to see that Costume anyway....

[krighton]

It's the man behind the mask....I enjoy the Parker scenes more than him swinging around

To that point of Miles being from the Ultimate Universe and being less known... so was "Black" Nick Fury which Bryan Hitch created for The Ultimates (Ultimate Universe's Avengers) with photo referencing the character to resemble Samuel L. Jackson (before he was even cast for the movie or the film was in development). As opposed to the "White" Nick Fury portrayed by David Hasseloff years before which failed.

 

However, Nick Fury is a minor character. But, Samuel L. Jackson is a big name actor, so that's where his starpower also makes it work.

 

With other trans-racial switches in movies like "The Kingpin" in "Daredevil" and "Johnny Storm / Human Torch" in the forthcoming "Fantastic Four" it seemed to make a whole lot less sense since in the comic book mythology, those characters were always "White", not ambiguous as an Alien nor identities obscured by masks, so where Marvel and the movie makers were maybe trying to be both PC and innovators, it was/is, to fans, changing tradition. I think the same thing is probably felt about Spider-Man in that he's best known as Peter Parker, and Peter Parker is a young "White" guy. I'm sort of surprised there's not more backlash about the casting of a "Brit" as opposed to an "All American Boy" using an American actor with a face that resembles in part the comic book image of Peter Parker.

 

I think with Spider-Man, most fans know him as Peter, not Miles. Just as most fans know Green Lantern as Hal Jordan; Thor as Donald Blake; Captain America as Steve Rogers; 'tho all have been other mortals anointed with the super powers and namesake. So, it's less about race, more about familiarity.

I think some people are missing the point that Disney/Marvel is trying to build a new generation of fans. There's room for both IMO.

To your point. Here is a excellent article from 2009.

There's probably been dozens of different iterations of spider characters over the years, all of whom are derived from Peter Parker (who will always be the only real Spider-man in the end). Neither the concept nor execution of Miles Morales is anything new or ground breaking. This thread and the blogosphere are making the character seem far more important, relevant and popular than he actually is.
