Caleb McLaughlin detailed the role he’d like to sink his teeth into Stranger Things.
The former child actor recently revealed that he would “love to play” Marvel superhero Miles Morales, also known as Spider-Man.
While the comic book character became famous after his appearance in the animated film Into the Spider-Verse franchise, Caleb has long been a popular fancast for a live-action version of the hero.
He reciprocated public opinion by saying Variety“I think Miles represents something bigger than me; he represents something bigger than most people.”
“Also, being from New York and just seeing the Spider Worms story, I just feel like it’s really, really connected and I feel like a lot of people understand what that means.
Miles Morales has been voiced by Shameik Moore in the animated series since 2018, with a third film titled Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse should be released in 2027.
Meanwhile, Caleb was also thinking about packaging Stranger Things earlier this year, describing her time on the hit Netflix series as “a blessing.”
“Looking back, I’m really grateful for everything I’ve been through, the people I’ve met along the way and all the friends I have,” he said.
While sharing that he remains “very grateful,” the 24-year-old actor added that “life after the show is a new chapter” and that he is “excited to start it with Goat.”
Caleb McLaughlin is also joined by his former co-star David Harbour, among others, in Goat. The animated film is released on February 13.
