Sony are actually the people who dictate that Spiderman remain straight and white though. It’s in all of his license agreements. Doesn’t have sex under the age of 16, doesn’t have sex with anyone under the age of 16, is white, is hetero, doesn’t swear over pg-13, symbiote is not peters design, lived/raised in queens, gains powers during high school, and a bunch of other things.
Wiki says he’s an “Alternate Spiderman”. Alter Egos have an exception from what I understand. He’s from another universe according to Marvel. He’s not Peter Parker. It’s specifically Peter Parker who must be all these things.
That’s interesting. Have they been told by Marvel to make it that way or do Sony hold rights over Spider-Man to an extent where they can dictate his appearances on screen? I remember hearing that Sony kinda owns Spider-Man for the movies or something? Not sure

So how did they reconcile Miles Morales?

Honestly, I’m not sure - not a fan, just a dude who picks up on random tidbits of information.
