Andrew Garfield Teases Miles Morales In Future Spider-Man Films

Andrew Garfield hasn't been shy about expressing his desire to be done with The Amazing Spider-Man after his contractually obligated 3 films are up. So he's got one film left, but what happens after that?

Comic Book Resources floated the idea of Miles Morales potentially showing up in future movies, during The Amazing Spider-Man 2 press, and Garfield seems keen on it:

I have given that thought. I think one of the amazing things about Spider-Man is that you don't see skin color when he's in the suit. You don't see any religious beliefs. You don't see any denominations. Everyone can project themselves into that suit. It's incredibly powerful in that way. So of course I think it's important that the openness, the casting, in terms of who could be Spider-Man, could be absolutely anyone. A hero is a hero, whether you're a man, woman, gay, lesbian, straight, black, white or red all over — it doesn't matter.

Miles Morales was a huge moment in this character's comic book life. And I do believe that we can do that. It's something I'm really interested in figuring out; an eloquent way of coexisting, or passing on the torch. I don't have an answer, but I think it's actually a really important move. I think it's a really beautiful and important move.

The "passing on the torch" comment is probably the most interesting, since we know there's going to at least one more Amazing Spider-Man after Garfield's 3 are up, so Peter passing the moniker on to Miles would solve the awkward recasting problem and allow some diversity to be integrated into the franchise. Two birds, one stone?
