In an interview with Newsarama at the time, Bendis said part of the inspiration for the character came from Donald Glover announcing on Twitter that he wanted to play Spider-Man. Brian Michael Bendis created Morales in 2011, when Marvel introduced the character as the new Spider-Man in the Ultimate Spider-Man series. In Miles’ story, his uncle’s criminal activities are indirectly responsible for how he gets his powers.īut the homage to Morales goes a little deeper than just a casual, underplayed reference from his uncle. Aaron Davis is the uncle of Miles Morales and while Davis never says Morales’ name, he does refer to having a nephew who lives in Queens, New York during a conversation with Spider-Man in an empty parking lot. That name might not mean much to those who aren’t immersed in the Spider-Man universe, specifically the one that Marvel Comics has created, but it’s important. What Marvel does instead, however, is introduce an mundane, run-of-the-mill criminal named Aaron Davis, who is played by Donald Glover. This is a universe where Peter Parker is a sophomore in high school, so it wouldn’t make any sense for Morales, many years younger than Peter, to make his debut now. Marvel’s tribute to Morales doesn’t even mention the character by name. Miles Morales isn’t included in Spider-Man: Homecoming - not a surprise, since Marvel has said as much before - but the studio managed to find an interesting and low-key way to establish that the character does exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
