Won't be happy if this is true. I want Peter Parker to be in the MCU. Miles Morales can come later but Parker first for me please. Otherwise my excitement for this will suddenly drop if Parker is a casualty of Spider-Man's transfer to the MCU:

I think they might go with Morales, because of the whole diversity issue. Wb/dc has a bunch of diversity when it's all said and done. Aquaman, Cyborg, Black Adam, Wonder Woman, etc... all non white. Will Smith as Deadshot, too. Not to mention Marvel is seriously looking to Angelina directing Captain Marvel. Following WB's decision for hiring McLaren to direct WW.
I can easily see Peter, but if they get Morales, it's likely because they want diversity. I'll be happy with either.

The guy from the Wrap is saying it might still be Peter Parker but either way he almost definitely won't be white:

This is the bit that's worrying me:
White actors are still going out for Spider-Man but their reps are telling me they think Sony is leaning "ethnic."
So white actors from the get go are not going to have much chance of landing this part. So there goes your Dylan O Brian and Logan Lerman.
I think Sony still doesn't get the most important thing is to get an actor whose going to own the part. Not leaning to one color or another to try and prove a point.

Morales is just gonna confuse the heck out of audiences Imo. You can't just switch Spider-Man like that in the next movie. There needs to be a transition.
So if Rhodes takes over as IM, then at least there's been some transition there, first introducing the character then making him War Machine e.t.c.
And it would be such a downer to finally after all these years get Spider-Man in the MCU, only to not have Peter Parker making it there.
I really don't think Sony's in a position with it's Spider-Man franchise to take that kind of risk tbh.

Have Peter Parker (played by Tobey Maguire) serve as a mentor for Miles.👆
Honestly something like that could work. But there has to be that transition from Parker to Morales.
You can't just suddenly ignore Parker and have Morales instead.

And why does this worry you?

Good points. Although, if they go with a black Peter Parker, I'd be disappointed. I'd rather have Morales instead.

Were basing all this off of what one random dude says though? I'm gonna need something more concrete.
He's known for breaking superhero scoops. He's heard rumours from studio reps, but I also think he wants this and thinks it's a great idea which is why he's saying "95%". But even on his twitter he has noted white actors can still audition.
I'd honestly say it's 50/50 at this point.

Because if they're "leaning" towards a certain colour then they're not looking for the actor whose going to "own" the role and instead are looking to be bold and lead a massive policy change to the comic book movie world.
And look if they do this at this point then either they jump straight into Miles Morales and ignore Peter Parker which I think would be a terrible idea, or they possibly make Parker black which I don't see the need for when you can transition to Miles Morales later on.
But if they're casting Parker but looking at ALL races to find the guy who Owns the role, then I'm all for it.
I mean why they just going for black/latino? Why not then consider chinese and indian as well?

Fair enough. I would just prepare for the possible shock now though. The gist I'm getting is they (Sony) are looking for a radically different take on the character to keep people interested, seen as this is the 2nd reboot in the last few years.
Although I would personally think being in the MCU would get everyone interested enough.

So true.
Honestly I hate this idea just as much as I would hate them making Blade white.
Bring in Miles Morales later on if they want to diversify, but first I want Peter Parker interacting with Tony Stark and the Hulk. We've waited years for this, so I hate this idea.
