In reply to Edison Carter.

You’re right they could change Miles’ age but in the comics he’s only been developed as a kid so they would essentially be creating a new character rather than using the Miles we know.

You’re right that Sony does retain the rights but it is a collaborative effort. If Spider-Man is going to be a part of the MCU then his character will have to remain consistent between Marvel films and Sony films. And it doesn’t matter if the villains show up in the MCU or show up in the Sony universe, the point is not moot. These villains have a relationship to Peter Parker’s character in any universe.

And none of these films (Marvel, Sony, Fox, DC/WB) are the comic book universe. Every studio has taken their own creative liberties but this is the first chance for Marvel to take their iconic, face character and do it right.

To address the age issue, what’s to say that they don’t make Miles older than he is portrayed in the comics like maybe college age?
Furthermore the whole “Peter Parker” relation to the secret identity of the baddies is moot, as I really doubt any of his villains will show up in the MCU as Sony still retains the rights to them
Finally remember that the MCU and Sony movie universes are not the Marvel Comics universe.
On a side note-There will come a day when the current range of alter egos will die or move on and a legacy will start-look at The Flash, Green Lantern, Human Torch, Hour Man, Dr. Midnite, Sandman, etc., etc.
