After Sony and Marvel announced that they were teaming up to bring Spider-Man and The Avengers back together, fans are calling for a new Latino version of Spider-Man starring comic book character Miles Morales.

Fox News Latino reports Miles is a half-black, half-Latino teenager in the Marvel series who took the role of Spider-Man after the Green Goblin killed Peter Parker, the first Spider-Man. Miles had also been bitten by an enhanced spider but never used his powers until after Parker's death.

Spider-Man and The Avengers have never appeared in the recent live-action movies together because of licensing agreements, but they have joined forces many times in Marvel comic books and TV shows.

Sony and Marvel, which is owned by Disney, announced Monday night that the next Spider-Man franchise will be co-produced by Marvel Studios head Keven Feige and Sony's Amy Pascal for a July 28, 2017 release, according to The Associated Press.

"Amy (Pascal) has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of the world's most beloved characters. Marvel's involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU," Feige said in a statement.

In a statement, Walt Disney Studios Chairman and CEO Bob Iger called the hero "one of Marvel's great characters, beloved around the world."

"We're thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building," he said.

Disney owns Marvel and Sony holds rights on Spider-Man, but now characters from Marvel may be integrated into new Spider-Man movies like Thor, Iron Man and Captain America.

"This is the right decision for the franchise, for our business, for Marvel, and for the fans," Sony Chairman Michael Lynton said.

Other characters like X-Men and the Fantastic Four, which 20th Century Fox retains rights to, will remain segregated in the movies for now.
