Make the new Spider-man of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Miles Morales (who is of African American and Hispanic heritage)

The Issue

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have recently made a deal that will allow Spider-man to be a part of the MCU. There has already been five films of the web-slinger featuring two different Caucasian actors portraying the character and many minorities, including myself, believe it is time for a change. The opportunity to make Spider-man of a different ethnicity is here. Even if it is not in the cards to have the new Spider-man story line to be that of Miles Morales, the new actor to be cast for the role should be a minority. I absolutely love Marvel films and it would be awesome to see more diversity on screen.
