‘Magic: The Gathering' Swung Into the Spider-Verse at Comic-Con
We're on the cusp of the release of Magic: The Gathering's next major set, Edge of Eternities, next week, but that didn't stop Wizards of the Coast from swinging into San Diego Comic-Con to show off its next big crossover: Spider-Man. And in our first major glimpse at what to expect from the set, we got treated to a whole spider-verse of new cards—and, of course, some very nifty comic book-themed variants to get your wallet's spidey senses tingling. It's no surprise that transforming cards are going to be the name of the game in Spider-Man, given the plethora of secret identities and alter egos of friends and foes at play here. While seemingly not every Spider-Hero included in the set will get that treatment, major players like Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy will all be able to flip between their civilian identities and their hero forms. Another recurring mechanic? Summoning spider tokens—a cute nod to the origins of many a Spider-hero, although in Magic it turns Pete and his friends more into a Spiders-Man than anything else. One new mechanic coming to the set that we know of thanks to these new cards is web-slinging, although it's more that the flavor is new rather than the actual mechanic. Drawing on a plethora of other quickening mechanics from Magic's past (and its present, given the arrival of Warp in Edge of Eternities), web-slinging lets a player pay a reduced mana cost for a card at the expense of returning a tapped creature you control back to your hand. Think of it like Spidey using something—in this case, a creature on the battlefield—to zipline into the action with haste! Metaphorical haste, rather than mechanical haste, that is. Aside from introducing key heroes and villains coming to the set, the new reveals also showcased a host of variant card treatments—although with a slight twist that Spider-Man will be the first crossover set that removes the distinctive triangular border frame that has defined 'Universes Beyond' cards in the past, further enmeshing Magic's crossover experiences with original sets. Variant treatments for Spider-Man include, of course, stylized webbing frames and comic-panel-inspired alternate art, but also special comics art variants that leverage decades of Marvel Comics artwork—in some instances, turning cards into iconic comic covers, framing their rules text into a front-page spread. Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man set begins releasing September 26. Check out even more cards revealed at SDCC below! Want more io9 news?

Spider-Man fans forced to wait even longer for highly anticipated sequel
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed again, with its release now anticipated for June 2027. The film, which is the final part of a trilogy, was originally scheduled for release in March 2024. The delay is reportedly a strategic move to coincide with US summer holidays and secure a more appealing international release date. Production faced previous challenges, including reports of scrapped work and delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood strikes. The film will continue the story from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, featuring Shameik Moore as Miles Morales and other key cast members.

Sony tells Marvel to pause live-action Miles Morales plans, Kevin Feige confirms in interview
Marvel Studios has confirmed it will not introduce a live-action Miles Morales Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this time, following a request from Sony. Speaking during a roundtable interview attended by Variety, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige stated that plans for a live-action version of the character are currently 'nowhere.' 'We've been told to stay away,' Feige added, indicating that this position is likely to remain in place until the conclusion of Sony's Spider-Verse trilogy. The final part of that trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is scheduled for release on June 25 2027, following previous delays. Fans had speculated that Miles Morales could appear in Tom Holland's upcoming Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set for release on July 31 2026. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has previously referenced Miles Morales indirectly, with Spider-Man: Homecoming featuring Aaron Davis, played by Donald Glover, who mentions a 'nephew' living in New York. Additionally, Daredevil Born Again briefly mentions an 'Officer Morales,' which some fans believe is a nod to Miles' father. Feige also confirmed during the same interview that Marvel Studios plans to recast the X-Men when the characters are introduced into the MCU, as part of a broader reset following Avengers: Secret Wars. For now, fans can continue to see both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in Insomniac's Spider-Man game series, while a live-action debut for Miles Morales in the MCU will not take place before 2027.

Miles Morales not allowed in MCU — Kevin Feige gives a massive Marvel update
Marvel chief creative officer Kevin Feige just gave a massive interview to select outlets ahead of "The Fantastic Four" hitting theaters this week (h/t Variety). And when I tell you this was massive, I'm not being hyperbolic. In this long-ranging interview, Feige covered Marvel's plans for the MCU between now and 2032, as well as what's gone wrong since "Avengers: Endgame." For me, though, the headline was this — don't expect Miles Morales in the MCU. That's coming from Feige himself, who said, 'That is nowhere," when asked about the other Spider-Man entering the MCU, adding, "We've been told to stay away." On the one hand, that's a bummer. Sony and Marvel have teamed up to great effect with Tom Holland's portrayal of Peter Parker, and "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" was a pleasant surprise on Disney Plus earlier this year. It stands to reason that they could produce similarly great stories with Miles Morales, who has become a fan favorite since his introduction to the Marvel universe. On the other hand, it's tough to see where Miles would fit alongside Holland's Spider-Man in the MCU. That's not to say it's impossible, and perhaps he could have been easily shoehorned into "Doomsday" or "Secret Wars," which are set to likely feature multiple iterations of the same character as the MCU careens towards a much-needed reset. But there's not a logical need for him to fill at present. Perhaps it's best that he wrap up his own story in 2027's 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,' and then Sony and Marvel can assess the future of the character. Miles' exclusion from the MCU wasn't the only major news to drop in this interview, though, as I've already hinted. So let's dive into the other big takeaways from everything else Feige had to say about the future — and past — of the MCU. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This streaming bundle deal is a total steal if you're looking to get both Disney Plus and Hulu on a budget. While Miles Morales might not be joining the MCU anytime soon, Feige says that two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali is still on track to play the titular Daywalker in a "Blade" movie. 'We didn't want to simply just put a leather outfit on him and have him start killing vampires,' Feige explained during his sit-down with the media (h/t Variety). 'It had to be unique. It fell into the time when we started pulling back and saying, 'Only accept insanely great.' And it ['Blade'] wasn't 'insanely great' at the time.' But while things are still on track for "Blade," Feige was less forthright about a future "Young Avengers" property. 'Potentially,' Feige said, when asked about a future story centered around Marvel's young heroes. 'In that case, it comes down to where's the best story and where is the best strange alchemy. Who would be fun to see them with? Each other, because that's what the Young Avengers are, but also mixing it up more.' We already know that many past "X-Men" stars are returning for next year's 'Avengers: Doomsday.' Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden and Kelsey Grammer were all confirmed in an hours-long casting announcement. But once that movie is over, a new cast of X-Men will star in an upcoming untitled 'X-Men' movie directed by Jake Schreier (of "Thunderbolts*" fame). They may even appear as soon as "Avengers: Secret Wars." 'We're utilizing that ['Secret Wars'] not just to round out the stories we've been telling post-'Endgame,'" Feige told those in attendance on Friday (h/t Variety). "Just as importantly — and you can look at the 'Secret Wars' comics for where that takes you — it very, very much sets us up for the future. 'Endgame,' literally, was about endings. 'Secret Wars' is about beginnings.' Expect Marvel to go on the younger side for casting these roles, too, as Feige noted that X-Men stories naturally tend to center around adolescents. The X-Men aren't the only major Marvel characters being recast either. Feige indicated that Marvel will ultimately recast Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in the MCU — it's just a matter of when. Finally, the biggest news Feige dropped in this press conference was that Marvel will be putting out less content — because it needs to. 'We produced 50 hours of stories between 2007 and 2019,' Feige said, when discussing how Marvel shifted from a focus on quality to a focus on quantity. "We've had well over 100 hours of stories — in half the time [in the six years since 'Avengers: Endgame']. That's too much.' It's this that Feige blames for Marvel's flagging performance. 'It's clearly not superhero fatigue, right?' he said, referring to the fact that DC's "Superman" is doing just fine at the same box office where "Thunderbolts*" and other Marvel movies have struggled. Speaking of "Thunderbolts*," Feige also blames the Disney Plus shows specifically for the movie's commercial failure. ''Thunderbolts*' I thought was a very, very good movie,' Feige told those assembled. 'But nobody knew that title and many of those characters were from a [TV] show. Some [audiences] were still feeling that notion of, 'I guess I had to have seen these other shows to understand who this is.'" Feige wants to steer away from the importance of the Marvel shows in the MCU going forward, at least in regards to how they connect to the films. 'I think allowing a TV show to be a TV show is what we're returning to.' Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made.

Miles Morales Can't Join the MCU Yet, Says Kevin Feige — GeekTyrant
For years, Marvel fans have been hyped about the possibility of Miles Morales swinging his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, with rumors that Tom Holland might eventually hang up his web-shooters, it seemed like the perfect time for Marvel to introduce the beloved character. But, according to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, that's not happening anytime soon, and the reason might surprise you. At a recent press event promoting Fantastic Four: The First Steps , Feige shut down speculation about a live-action Miles Morales joining the MCU, at least in the near future. When asked about the status of a Miles Morales movie, Feige said:: 'That is nowhere.' He went on to explain why Marvel can't play with that particular web just yet: 'Sony has their brilliant, genius, incredible Spider-Verse animated franchise going and until that finishes, we've been told to stay away.' So, until Sony wraps up their critically acclaimed Spider-Verse saga, the MCU has to leave Miles alone. This effectively takes Miles off the table for a while. The final chapter of the animated trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse , is currently scheduled for release on June 25, 2027. That means fans shouldn't expect Miles to appear in any major MCU events like Avengers: Secret Wars (coming December 17, 2027), especially since that movie is shaping up to be a multiversal showdown featuring Battleworld. Adding to that, Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have made it clear this third film will serve as a 'massive finale' and deliver a 'satisfying conclusion' to their animated saga. So Sony is definitely not in a rush to let go of Miles for the MCU while they're wrapping up one of their biggest success stories. Now, back in 2023, Sony teased a live-action Miles Morales project. But since then, things have gone quiet. If Feige's comments are any indication, Sony is holding that card close to their chest until the animated trilogy concludes. Miles Morales was created in 2011 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, with input from then-editor-in-chief Axel Alonso, Miles first appeared in Ultimate Fallout #4 following the death of Peter Parker in the Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610). In just over a decade, Miles has exploded in popularity. From groundbreaking comic runs to the hit Insomniac video games and the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse films, he's become a cornerstone of Marvel's modern era. Many fans argue he's the most successful legacy hero in comics, carving out his own identity rather than living in Peter Parker's shadow. If you were hoping to see Miles Morales show up in Secret Wars or the next Spider-Man trilogy, don't hold your breath. For now, he's firmly in Sony's court—and with Beyond the Spider-Verse coming in 2027, it's going to be a long wait. Source: Variety
