Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners co-star Miles Caton reveals his ideal Marvel casting. Sinners marks the fifth film in Ryan Coogler’s directing career and his fifth collaboration with Michael B. Jordan, continuing a creative partnership that began with Fruitvale Station and reached global acclaim with Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where Jordan’s performance as Eric Killmonger stood out. Sinners is also the feature film debut of twenty-year-old musician Miles Caton, who plays the guitar player Sammie “Preacher Boy” Moore.

In an interview with Variety, Sinners star Miles Caton was asked what kind of movie he’d like to star in, as well as which Marvel character he’d like to play. Caton admits he’s a Marvel fan and hints at his ideal casting as Miles Morales. Read Miles Caton’s full response below:

“I love comedy. Action. Adventure. I’m a big Marvel fan. Marvel, that’s top of the top, so shooting for the stars. (…) I mean, my name is Miles…”

What Miles Caton’s Miles Morales Comments Mean

Miles Caton Qualifies For An MCU Miles Morales Role

There have been several versions of Miles Morales since his 2011 comic book debut. However, virtually every known Miles Morales in the Marvel multiverse is Aaron Davis’ kind-hearted, music-loving, slightly awkward but notably outgoing nephew, who’s younger than his Spider-Man mentor Peter Parker. Miles Caton plays a character with similar traits to Miles Morales in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, where his pᴀssion for music connects him to a higher plane, and some of his relatives throw him into a dangerous world that brings his talent to the surface.

The actor who’ll play Miles Morales in the MCU is unlikely to be a famous name. Marvel castings depend on many factors other than popularity, and Miles Morales’ young age requires an actor with a short filmography. Miles Caton is starting his acting career with the right foot on Sinners, which not only gives Caton a co-protagonist role, but also adds an enviable credit to his career alongside Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan. Having showcased his acting chops on Sinners, Miles Caton’s door to Marvel may be wide open.

Our Take On Miles Caton’s Miles Morales Comments

Miles Morales’ Live-Action Casting Is Hard To Predict

As of Sinners’ 2025 release, the MCU has only teased Miles Morales’ introduction in Spider-Man: Homecoming, where Donald Glover’s Aaron Davis mentioned his nephew. Since then, the MCU hasn’t addressed Miles Morales again, and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe never hinted at its version of Miles. When and where exactly Miles Morales will make his live-action debut is still unknown. Since Miles Morales’ young age is key to his casting, it’s difficult to predict whether a twenty-year-old actor will be the right age when Marvel decides to adapt the character. For now, Sinners‘ Miles Caton remains a candidate worth considering.

Summary

The monolithic franchise that kicked off with Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is one of the industry’s longest-running and largest cinematic franchises. Based on the heroes from Marvel Comics, the MCU is a new way for fans and newcomers alike to enjoy the ever-expanding universes of some of the world’s most famous superheroes. Releasing as “Phases,” Marvel Studio’s first three Phases came to be known as “The Infinity Saga,” which surrounded the formation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and their showdown with the Mad тιтan known as Thanos as he sought to collect the Infinity Stones. With his ultimate goal of indiscriminately wiping out half of all life in the universe, this plot ultimately reveals itself over ten years of films, ending in a two-part finale that changed the world’s fate – and the core cast forever. Currently, the MCU is preparing to enter the fifth phase, focusing on Kang the Conquerer as the new core series villain.
