In recent years, Miles Morales has become a popular character, mostly due to the astounding success of Sony Picture’s critically acclaimed and Academy Award-winningSpider-Man: Into the Spiderverseanimated movie that had Miles Morales as the major protagonist.
As a Latino-African superhero, Miles Morales has become one of the most sought after characters as major studio houses are finally seriously taking the representation of minorities, and not as a lip-service.
