I was so excited to see a recent video of Caleb McLaughlin, the amazing actor from Stranger Things! It’s got a lot of fans, including me, wondering if he might be the one to play Miles Morales’ Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While everyone’s been hoping to see him take on the role, we haven’t gotten any official news about a live-action debut yet. Of course, Miles is already brilliantly voiced by Shameik Moore in the incredible Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movies, but it would be amazing to see Caleb bring him to life on screen too!
Spider-Man fans think Caleb McLaughlin could be MCU’s Miles Morales
Caleb McLaughlin, the 24-year-old actor famous for playing Lucas on Stranger Things, recently shared videos of himself doing impressive gymnastics. Many fans immediately responded, hoping he’ll be cast as Miles Morales’ Spider-Man in a future movie or show.
Caleb McLaughlin shared a video on Instagram with the caption “Spinjutsu,” showcasing his impressive and seemingly easy stunts.
Fans quickly shared GIFs of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s Miles Morales as people noticed similarities between him and the current player. One fan wrote they thought the player was ‘practicing to be Miles,’ while another commented that the player seemed ‘ready to play Miles Morales.’
Someone created a fan video combining clips of Caleb McLaughlin with dialogue from the first part of Stranger Things Season 5 – specifically, his character saying, “I don’t believe in coincidences.” This has led many to believe McLaughlin might be preparing to play Miles Morales in a future project.
One fan commented on the video, saying he believes the actor is auditioning for the role of Miles Morales, as he’s wanted it for a while. Another Instagram user jokingly claimed he is Miles Morales, but can’t offer any proof.
Another fan suggested Caleb McLaughlin and his Stranger Things co-star, Sadie Sink, should play Gwen and a love interest together, writing, “Caleb Miles and Sadie Gwen WHEN.” While Sink is already part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day film, details about her role are currently unknown.
In December 2025, during a segment on the show “How Well Do You Know the “Stranger Things” Cast?”, Caleb McLaughlin mentioned he’d love to play Miles Morales. However, neither he nor Marvel Studios have officially confirmed anything about him taking on the role.
