But Chris Miller and Phil Lord, who were behind hit movies like 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie, were at Dope's Sundance premiere.Ī few years later, when Miller and Lord were getting Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse off the ground, they got in touch with Moore’s team asking him to send in a voice note. I am Spider-Man." After that movie premiered, Moore got word that its director, Rick Famuyiwa, would be helming his own live-action Miles Morales movie that didn't end up happening. While filming Dope, he began journaling his thoughts, the first of which said "I am Miles Morales. "It just kind of went from there."įrom that moment, Miles Morales became ubiquitous in Moore's life. "I was like, Wait, someone drew my face," he says on a Wednesday afternoon in midtown Manhattan, recalling the first time he saw the character while simultaneously pulling up on his phone a very specific side-by-side image of himself and Miles that someone on Reddit cooked up back in 2015. Moore had never seen Miles-a half-Black, half-Puerto Rican Spider-Man who was first created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and introduced into the Marvel Comics universe in August 2011-before, but immediately thought he looked exactly like someone he knew, and knew pretty well: himself. WHEN SHAMEIK Moore saw Miles Morales for the first time, it was quick: the character only appeared on-screen for a couple seconds, in and out, during an episode of the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series on Disney XD.
