Taking to the r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers subreddit to highlight a tweet from insider FilmOdyssey, users have already begun voicing their concerns about what will happen to OG Spider-Man Peter Parker if the rumors prove true.

Morales’ appearance does not bode well for Peter Parker (Tom Holland), apparently, as Morales becomes the new Spider-Man after Parker’s tragic demise in the comics, albeit in a different continuty to that of Earth-616 (i.e. the MCU). Morales debuted in the Earth-616 timeline in the All-New, All-Different Marvel series published from 2015-2019. The Morales storyline made its way onto the silver screen in the Oscar-nominated animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018).

Responding to the rumor, one user suggested it might be too soon to usher in Spider-Man’s successor. They felt torn between their appreciation of Peter Parker’s character development and excitement about the Morales storyline.

While Morales is a popular character, so is Parker. Many fans enjoyed the expansion of his character in Spider-Man: No Way Home and are eager to see more of his evolution.

MCU fans are satisfied with Spider-Man just as he is for the moment, and the majority are not ready to say goodbye to Peter Parker anytime soon, no matter how intriguing a figure Miles Morales is.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is streaming on Disney Plus.
