Well the likelihood of Miles Morales himself as a character existing is pretty much unlikely considering how far his creation is from the POD and all the changes that have happened in the comics ITTL. While there may and likely will be a black Spider-Man ITTL, he most probably won’t be called Miles Morales.I hope Miles Morales still gets to exist ITTL.
To be honest though, I actually originally considered making Stanley himself black, but I felt it just made him too much like a a ITTL retread/copy and paste of Miles Morales so I decided against it. While Stan still has similarities to Miles, being Peter’s successor and all, he’s ultimately Marvel Editorial ITTL’s attempt at making a Peter Parker 2.0 so that they don’t undo the actual Peter Parker’s happy ending, by giving some other kid whose similar but not exact to Peter Parker a similar origin and powers.
In execution though, he ironically instead ended up coming across more like OTL Ultimate Peter Parker. Not only does his run represent a fresh start take like the Ultimate Universe was supposed to be, but his run will have the same title and is written by the same author. Hell even his best friend/love interest Daphne is basically equivalent to Ultimate Mary Jane. Obviously there are differences, such as things like names, he lives in Earth 616, and the fact he and the actual 616 Peter Parker coexist, but if you want to imagine what Stan is like as a character, basically just think of Ultimate Peter Parker.
Going back to the original question though, I think it’s likely a black Spider-Man may end up filling the same role Spider-Gwen has in OTL, in that he might start out as a small character introduced in a issue or a run but who grows popular enough online that he (or she, you never know) ends up featuring a lot more, similar to what happened with Spider-Gwen in OTL after she first showed up in the Edge of Spider-verse comic.
Technically it’s 18 years, so almost 20 but not quite. Seth Green starts playing the role in 1991 and keeps it all the way until 2009. While Stan becomes the second Spider-Man in the MMU in Spider-Man 5, Peter (aka Seth Green) appears as a side character in Spider-Man 6.How can Seth Green play Spiderman for 20 years if Stan plays him?
For comparison Green would have played the character ITTL for about one year longer than Hugh Jackman did as Wolverine in OTL (he played it for 17 years between X-Men 1 and Logan, for those wondering. Obviously I’m not counting the upcoming Deadpool 3 movie here).
