    If you want a black Spidey, use Miles. There's no reason to pull another "Johnny Storm". I mean yeah, it worked for Kingpin, Heimdall, and Electro...

    @amazingwebhead: Peter is an essential character.

    He's not Electro.I have my problems with Kingpin because he's the epitomy of the mafia,rich white kid truen to rich mafia white man.
    Who cares for Heimdall

    That's exacly what i mean.
    It was sarcasm.

    LIke i reacted that way when they did that to Johnny.

    It doesn't mater the reason or logic behind where you're coming from. You'll always be a racist to them. They refuse to see anything else.

    I say Peter Parker should be white in the MCU. Because he is white and has always been since his creation. There is no need to change him.

    In my opinion, they need to do a white Peter Parker for a few movies (or preferably, the one solo film and then a Netflix TV series), then do Death of Spider-Man and switch to Miles Morales.

    Peter Parker will not be black nor will they use Miles.They did not go through all this trouble of getting the rights back to Spider-Man to do something silly like turning Parker black or using a character that's mostly known to comic fans who are a minority compared to regular movie goers .Peter Parker will be the Peter Parker that both general audiences and comic fans are familiar with.I say this a proud black man.So keep your "he's a racist" comments to yourself.

    Well i hope so.....it's really buzzing on the internets.

    It's not like they don't have black leads or something, they'll have a Cage series coming,Falcon is a protagonist now, they will probably at some point use Miles,but dont .Touch.Peter.

    if this is all about there arent enough black hero or bla, to 'even' things, and speaking of being smart, why dont female fans also cheer for a super smart character? like 'lets make Black Widow a genius and smarter than Tony Stark? cause in the end some can say Marvel is sexist cause Reed Richards and Tony is the smartest in MU..

    Lets accept this fact, Sony gave us a black Human Torch just to make ppl talk about a movie only a few cares which will probably be a poo movie, to get attention, in a "a bad commercial is also a commercial" mentality..spidey doesnt need that, its already an enough famous brand, no need for flashy changes to hit the news or to get attention

    Why couldn't an Alien be Captain America? I mean America was, in a sense, built by immigrants from different places. I doubt anyone would be opposed to having a Captain America from planet Vegeta.

    The majority would come because it's a Marvel movie and it's Spider-Man. Regardless of which they would choose to use. Those things are a given.

    @-daydream-: mmmm, not really. Kitty Pryde is a genius so is Susan Storm (her ultimate version is even smarter than Reed). and there are some more super smart girls in the marvel universe. but those two are the ones that are in the top of my head.

    Garfield made a statement that a gay Spidey would be good and the internet exploded.

    I think a white male will be Spider-Man after all.
