‘The Penguin’ Star Rhenzy Feliz Is Interested in the Role of MCU’s Miles Morales: “It would be an incredibly exciting thing to get to do”

‘The Penguin’ recently concluded its run and it has received great feedback from both critics and audiences. A lot of the praise goes to Colin Farrell’s amazing performance as Oz Cobb and the strong supporting cast.

One of the standout performers in the show is Rhenzy Feliz, who played Victor Aguilar. Vic’s journey in the show started in a heartbreaking manner, and it ended rather tragically. Even though many fans hoped to see Vic transformed into a true villain in his own right, if you’ve seen this week’s episode, you know that option is no longer on the table.

Feliz’s run in Batman Epic Crime Saga Universe may have come to an end, but the actor is still not ready to give up on superhero roles.

Rhenzy Feliz played the character Alex Wilder in the series ‘Runaways,’ which is based on the Marvel comic of the same name. Alex is a member of a group of teenagers who discover their parents are part of a villainous organization and band together to fight against them.

Feliz recently sat down with Kristian Harloff and once again stated he would love to play a live-action version of Miles Morales:

I’ve heard the comparison ever since I saw the animation, since [the movie came] out. I remember watching it on the screen and going ‘Holy s—‘ and I looked over at my friend, he’s already looking at me like ‘Dude, what the… It looks so much like you’. I think at that point I was like 19, 18 years old and I was like, ‘Oh please let’s go make this movie, that would be awesome.

He is however unsure if he would still be considered due to his age. He worries that by the time the role is ready, he might be too old if they want Miles to remain a young teen. However, if the character is reimagined as a college-aged Miles, Feliz would be excited to take on the role.

I’m getting older and I don’t know if they’re going to want a 20-some-year-old playing Miles Morales. Then you think about three movies down the line, am I going to look even older four years, five years from now… To answer the question. I would love to get to play something like that I think it’s an incredible character… It would be an incredibly exciting thing to get to do…

I don’t know if by the time that comes around and they finally do it [I would] have aged out. Whatever the story is, if they want [Miles] to be some 15-year-old kid it’s going to be tough. If they’re cool with [Miles] being some college-aged kid, then that would be fantastic.

Feliz might get the opportunity to play Morales sooner than he thinks since the character is heavily rumored to appear in the MCU following the release of ‘Spider-Verse 3’ as recently confirmed by Feige. What do you think about Feliz as Miles Morales? Let us know in the comments below!
