In an interview on the Agents of Fandom podcast, Feliz shared his interest in playing Miles Morales
The Penguin actor Rhenzy Feliz has expressed his desire to play Miles Morales in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor, who previously starred as Alex Wilder in Runaways, said he would rather play a new role than reprise his previous character.
Will There Be a Live-Action Miles Morales Movie?
Producer Amy Pascal has hinted at a possible live-action Miles Morales movie, fueling speculation about who could play the character. Feliz has a background that makes him a good fit for the role, and the resemblance is quite striking! In an interview on the Agents of Fandom podcast, Feliz shared his interest in playing Miles Morales, saying there's a lot to explore in terms of live-action. He noted that he shares some traits with the character, such as his Afro-Latin identity, and being Dominican-American himself.
Fans have typically suggested younger actors for the role of Miles, such as Miles Brown, Dallas Dupree Young, and Caleb McLaughlin. If the MCU decides to explore an older Miles, Feliz could still be a strong candidate. While Feliz may be considered slightly older for the title role than other options, his acting ability and background would still make him a valuable addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
