It was revealed that Andrew Garfield would not be reprising his role as Peter Parker, which prompted Twitter users to plead for Miles Morales.

Miles Morales could open a huge door for them. Even folks that complain would still see it. All folks really care about is the suit

No, really, @Marvel, Miles Morales best be your new Spidey. Peter had his chance. (And then get back F4 and X-Men and make it a real party.)

The only way I will accept Spider-Man moving Black Panther and Captain Marvel release dates back is if it's Miles Morales.

I love Peter Parker, I do. I grew up with him. But we've seen his story. A lot. Miles Morales would be something different.

Now, wouldn't Miles Morales be a good way to avoid to the awkward recasting scenario?
