Shameik Moore, known for his portrayal of Miles Morales in the animated Spider-Verse films, has revealed his weight loss goal as he aims to play the iconic character in a live-action adaptation. Moore has gained popularity as the voice of the young wall-crawler and continues to shine with the success of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Making His Case For Live-Action

During the promotional tour for Across the Spider-Verse, Moore took to his personal Instagram to share his determination, writing, “Time to lose weight so y’all can see Miles more clearly.” In interviews, he has expressed his desire to portray live-action Miles Morales and explore new creative endeavors in the film industry.

Casting Speculation For Live-Action Miles Morales

With Sony confirming their plans for a live-action Miles Morales project, the question of who will embody the character becomes a topic of discussion. While Moore has impressed as the animated Miles, his age of 28 may not align with the vision Marvel and Sony have for the younger Spider-Man. If Miles is intended to be the main Spider-Man in Sony’s universe, Moore could be a viable choice. However, if the character is set to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe under the guidance of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, a younger actor may be more suitable.
