Siren | Supernatural Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Siren's True Form seen through a mirror. A Siren's true form is that of an ugly, hairless, vaguely-humanoid monstrosity with gaunt, inhuman facial features. Like many creatures in the Supernatural Universe, they are able to take on multiple forms to deceive their prey— humans —usually transforming into a person that matches their victims' desire, such as a lover, friend or anything else that person may long for. In ancient times, they lived on islands and forced sailors to chase them, driving their ships onto the rocks. By using a sort of venom gland in their mouths, they can infect people with large doses of the hormone oxytocin (a hormone that is produced during childbirth, lactation, and sex; sometimes called the "love hormone") or at the very least, one similar to it. Victims with this much of the hormone in their systems experience an intense sense of euphoria and love for the creature that extends beyond just the physical and/or sexual realms.

They truly love the creature to their cores and need and desire whatever the creature says it does for itself, and as acts of love and devotion, the ensnared are willing to carry out drastic, most usually violent and deadly requests simply for the asking. These terrible acts are usually perpetrated against those the victim loved before being infected—proving just how much they love the siren. Once these acts of violence are enacted (or even just as they've begun), the siren "gets bored" and immediately vanishes, leaving their victims emotionally broken to deal with the consequences of their own actions. Unlike many monsters, Sirens do not technically feed on humans. Instead, they feel an intense rush of pleasure when their victims carry out atrocities against other loved ones. Like the people they infect, the intense feelings of euphoria do not last long and they quickly grow bored with their targets and venture off to find others. Known Abilities Edit Telepathy - Sirens can read the minds of their targets, learning what it is that person desires and yearns for in others and then giving that to them through illusion. This includes not just physical characteristics, but also mental ones.

The siren who wooed Dean was able to offer Dean a person with similar interests in cars, women, life views and provide the illusion of someone he could trust (the last being an issue he was having with Sam at this point in the series), most likely by picking the details needed directly from his brain. Shapeshifting - Sirens can alter the perceptions into anyone befitting their target, so they can get close to their victims and infect them with their essence. Because a Siren's true visage can be seen in a mirror, it's possible that this is not genuine shape-shifting, but rather just a form of affecting the perceptions of the humans around them. Venom Compulsion - Once infected, the target becomes completely and utterly enthralled with the Siren and is willing to do anything to prove their love and devotion. The compulsion is so powerful that they do these things regardless of personal beliefs, desires, morals or of the consequences resulting from said acts. Not even Sam and Dean could keep themselves from killing one another, and they were both fully aware of the Siren's nature and that they were infected. Weaknesses Edit A siren depicted in a book.

In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: ΣειρήνSeirēn; Greek plural: ΣειρῆνεςSeirēnes) were three dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Sirens combined women and birds in various ways. In early Greek art, Sirens were represented as birds with large women's heads, bird feathers and scaly feet. Later, they were represented as female figures with the legs of birds, with or without wings, playing a variety of musical instruments, especially harps. The tenth century Byzantine encyclopedia Suda says that, from their chests up, sirens had the form of sparrows, below they were women, or, alternatively, that they were little birds with women's faces. Birds were chosen because of their beautiful voices. Later Sirens were sometimes depicted as beautiful women, whose bodies, not only their voices, are seductive.

#3026 Seductive (attribute) Deadly (behaviour) These are birds that are unable to fly and they have the heads of women. They sing beautiful songs on beaches where there are bones of many sailors. They sing to lure men in order to devour them. According to Homer there are only two sirens but in other stories there are three; Parthenope- ‘Maiden-Face’, Leucoisa- ‘White One’ and Ligeia- ‘Shrill’. Some stories state that there are many Sirens. These include Aglaope- ‘Beautiful Face’, Aglophonos- ‘Beautiful Voice’, Molpe- ‘Music’, Peisinoe- ‘Mind Persuader’, Raidne- ‘Improvement’, Teles- ‘Perfect’, Thelxepeia- ‘Soothing Words’ and Thelxiope- ‘Persuasive Face’. It is said that the Sirens were once virgins who refused to court with man or god and so they were punished to be these flightless birds. It is also said that the goddess Demeter was angered by them for not helping her daughter and cursed them to find her.

They are said to be flightless because they lost a singing competition against the muses who then plucked feathers from their wings to make crowns for themselves. Siren has been viewed 2858 times. Does Siren Exist? Siren - The Unnatural and Supernatural The Unnatural and Supernatural The Unnatural and Supernatural ‎ > ‎ Creatures ‎ > ‎ Siren Sirens are a type of supernatural creature that have been encountered by Sam and Dean Winchester that can take different forms to lure and compel humans to perform drastic acts to prove their love and devotion. These acts are usually destructive or violent and usually result in deaths of one kind or another. Not much is known about them, however, due to the fact that they are creatures rarely seen outside of Greece.

Weaknesses Ironically, a siren's weakness is its own poison. The chemical reactions the venom causes in the human blood stream renders it toxic to the siren, and by stabbing it with a bronze dagger coated in the blood of "a sailor under its spell", it can be killed.

Creatures | My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Light opalish gray head A cockatrice is featured in the episode Stare Master . Fluttershy tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders that they are fearsome, dangerous creatures that have the "head of a chicken and the body of a snake." After venturing into the Everfree Forest , Fluttershy finds Twilight turned to stone and lying on the ground with a shocked expression on her face. The Cutie Mark Crusaders witness the cockatrice turn the missing chicken into stone and are terrified.

They hide behind Fluttershy, who stares at the cockatrice and demands it to restore Twilight and her missing chicken back to normal, even as she herself slowly turns to stone. The cockatrice finally relents and Fluttershy's stone shell shatters. Twilight and the chicken both return to normal, showing that the cockatrice's stoning effect is reversible; subsequently Twilight retains no memory of the event. In a mini-comic included with Friendship is Magic Issue 4 titled "In the Interim..." a horde of giant mutant cockatrices tries to invade Canterlot during the passing of the Secretariat comet, but Spike and Princess Celestia are able to defeat them. A cockatrice appears on cover RI of My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #4 . The cockatrice also appears on the Comic Con 2011 promotional poster . A cockatrice figure will be released with a Shadowbolt figure in the Guardians of Harmony toyline. [3] Cockatrices are mentioned in legend from antiquity to the Middle Ages. Cragadile Coat Various Fruit bats appear in the episode Apple Family Reunion and are mentioned in the episode Bats!

Unlike real-life fruit bats , these bats come in the colors of the rainbow and resemble fruit, the midsections of red fruit bats in particular resembling strawberries; they also appear to have leaves for ears. A colony of fruit bats inhabit the trees of one of Sweet Apple Acres ' west orchards. A red fruit bat appears on My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #4 cover A and on cover RI of My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #4 . In the chapter book Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell, Fluttershy has a new fruit bat called Toby. Vampire fruit bat Moderate orange A hydra residing in Froggy Bottom Bogg chases the main characters in Feeling Pinkie Keen . The hydra has four heads on snake-like necks and a large, orange, dragon -like body, with only two legs and no wings or arms. The ponies note a smelly gas that envelops it as it rises from the bog, and a tick-like insect can be seen on its neck during this scene. Before chasing the ponies, it roars and licks its lips. The heads sometimes display different expressions and even laugh at each other's misfortunes. One head is noticeably slower to react than the others.

Brilliant gamboge A manticore named Manny Roar [4] poses an obstacle to the main characters in Friendship is Magic, part 2 after Nightmare Moon deliberately enrages him. Manny Roar has the body of a lion, a scorpion's tail, and a pair of dragon-like wings. Similar to Aesop's fable of The Lion and The Mouse, as well as the fable of Androcles and the Lion . Fluttershy calms him when she shows him kindness by removing a painful thorn from his paw. In Magical Mystery Cure , Manny Roar's paw appears in one of Fluttershy's flashbacks. In No Second Prances , Trixie incorporates a different manticore [5] with horns and smaller ears into her magic act. A Manny Roar miniature collectible is included in the Elements of Harmony Friends character collection set with Fluttershy , Nightmare Moon , Rarity and Steven Magnet , displayed at the 2013 New York Toy Fair. [6] His name comes from the packaging of the toy set. [4] A special edition Manny Roar mini-figure is included in the Elements of Friendship Sparkle Friends Collection.

Manny Roar also appears on the Comic Con 2011 promotional poster . Main article: The Dazzlings Sirens are seen in the film My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks . Three sirens named Adagio Dazzle , Sonata Dusk , and Aria Blaze originally roamed Equestria spreading disharmony among ponies with their siren's songs. They fed off the ponies' negative energies to make their voices and magic more powerful with the intention of conquering Equestria. They were banished by Star Swirl the Bearded to the human world , where he surmised they would do no harm since there would be no magic in that world, unaware that later, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle would bring Equestrian magic to that world. During the film, the Dazzlings use their songs to control the students of Canterlot High School and advance to the final round in the Mane Event. They are eventually defeated by Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, and the Rainbooms when their gem pendants are destroyed and they are stripped of their powers.

In Equestria, the sirens' appearance is more similar to that of a hippocampus, another mythical sea creature, rather than a traditional siren. In the human world, the Dazzlings' anthropomorphic forms possess translucent fins on their backs, like those on their true forms' front legs. Their siren forms are summoned as astral projections from their pendants and are used to battle, and ultimately weaken, the Rainbooms. Creatures image gallery More info The Tantabus is a dream creature that appears in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? It is an amorphous creature of blue starry smoke that infests and feeds on ponies' dreams, turning them into nightmares. According to Princess Luna , the Tantabus gets stronger with each additional pony's dreams it infects. With enough power, it could potentially escape into the real world. Throughout the episode, Luna pursues the Tantabus across the Mane Six's dreams, and it turns each dream that it passes through into a nightmare. When Luna brings everyone in Ponyville into a single shared dream, the Tantabus grows to immense size.

Luna reveals that she created the Tantabus to give herself nightmares as punishment for her actions as Nightmare Moon and that her crippling guilt gives the Tantabus power. With the Mane Six's help, Luna manages to let go of her tortured past, causing the Tantabus to lose its power. Luna draws the weakened Tantabus back inside herself. Creatures image gallery More info Ursa minor and ursa major appear in Boast Busters as gigantic magical bears with fur that looks like the night sky, and are partially translucent. At the start of the episode, Trixie boasts that she defeated an ursa major that was attacking Hoofington. Snips and Snails go into the Everfree Forest , intending to find an ursa major and lead it back to Ponyville , hoping to see Trixie defeat it. They find one and get chased by it into Ponyville. Trixie is forced to admit she did not vanquish an ursa and cannot defeat this one. Trixie also admits, "No one can vanquish an ursa major." The ursa turns out to be an ursa minor.

Twilight uses her magic to lull the bear with a lullaby and soothes it with a gigantic container of cow milk. The sleeping ursa minor is peacefully returned to its mother, an ursa major. The ursa minor is shown again in Magic Duel in a flashback to the events of Boast Busters. The ursa major is the largest creature seen in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. The Boast Busters story gallery on Hasbro's website uses alternate depictions of the ursa minor as being bright green, and both ursas are completely opaque. [11] The map of the south of Equestria from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #2 bears the mention of "Ursa Major caverns." The ursa major appears on the Hot Topic exclusive cover of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #5 and the ursa minor appears on cover RI of My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #4 and on page 5 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #22 .

Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are constellations seen in the northern hemisphere; the ursas in the show have unusually long tails for bears, much like their constellation namesakes. Their mother-and-child relantionship mirrors the Greek origin myth of the Ursa constellations, where Zeus turned the nymph Callisto and her son into bears and placed them in the night sky. Vampire On the first page, a jackalope appears in Fluttershy's garden, confusing Scootaloo. Issue #2 A cave troll appears. When Twilight sees the troll, she says that he is much bigger than the Cave Dwellers' Reference Guide says, at the end of the issue is revealed that his name is Jim. This cave troll is also mentioned by Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #4 and appears on a billboard in Issue #8 . Later in the same issue, the ponies are attacked by a giant tarantula and a group of giant spiders, which appear to have markings similar to cutie marks.

They attack the Main six and seize Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy; but they are defeated when Pinkie Pie brings the cave troll to attack the giant tarantula, which she then calls Fluffy. One of the spiders shares its color scheme and cutie mark with Derpy. The giant spider is also mentioned in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #4 . Pictures of ghosts appear on the map of Equestria. Issue #3 Queen Chrysalis and her changelings crash land (after the events of A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 ) into a civilization of "very loving" small catlike creatures. They continue loving the changelings even after they drain them to feed. Carnivorous flowers (referred to as petunias, carnations, and pansies) attack Applejack and Rarity, after the latter attempts to pick them to accessorize. The ponies then use them as parachutes. A chupacabra attacks Twilight and Fluttershy, mistaking them for goats; a group of vampiric jackalopes later attacks Rainbow and Pinkie.

After the groups run into each other, the Chupacabra and Jackalopes attack each other, as Fluttershy explains that they are "natural enemies." Issue #4 Princess Celestia mentions that due to the passing of the Secretariat comet, Manehattan was attacked by a "giant, magical marshmallow pony." Issues #5-8 Princess Luna describes that the peaceful inhabitants of the moon have been trapped under the spell of the Nightmare Forces, turning them into shadowy creatures, such as " Shadowfright ". At the end of Issue #8, the moon creatures return to normal, losing their shadowy appearance and taking on forms resembling normal animals. Spike refers to them as "nightmares" in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #3 . In My Little Pony: FIENDship is Magic Issue #4 , the inhabitants of the moon are referred to as nyx. They also appear in the WeLoveFine Dark Night art print and T-shirt . In Issue #7 Spike founds a group of Moon Slugs who help him to enter to Nightmare Rarity's castle without being noticed and return in Issue #8 helping Spike escape taking his form making Shadowfright believe that he's using the silent treatment.

Issue #11 The game is also played by the Cutie Mark Crusaders in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #2 and mentioned by Spike in Issue #4 . Issue #13 Hippocampi are shown on an alternate version of cover B. Issue #15-16 A bookworm invades the Golden Oak Library with the intention of eating all the books. In the process, it traps Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity in a blank book void and brings literary characters to life via magical cocoons. In Issue #16, he changes his ways after realizing the damage his voracity has caused and helps the Mane 6 save Ponyville. In Issue #16, in Rainbow Dash's story, space fleas appear on an asteroid (actually the bookworm's cocoon). Issue #18 In the mini-comic included with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #18 "How Star Swirl Got His Hat...the other story," Star Swirl the Bearded mentions the beasts of the deep. Issue #19 Spike refers to the alternate universe of Princess Luna's shadow disguise as a ghost.

Issue #23 A kelpie named Cassie uses her singing to control the minds of ponies and compel the citizens of Ponyville to destroy a dam near the town. To Angel 's horror, Cassie aims to flood the area. However, she only wishes to do so for the benefit of the water sprites, who cannot reach the ocean unless a path of water is prepared near Ponyville. In Scottish mythology, a kelpie is an equine water spirit associated with drownings. Cassie has the head and mane of a pony, the body of a serpent, eel-like tail, and four gangling fins which are arrayed in a similar fashion to that of the spines on her back. Issue #24 Discord shows Fluttershy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders a number of creatures across time and space: jackals and sentient cats in the ancient civilization of Anugypt, cyborg and alien-like ponies in the future, kelpies in the underwater city of Coltlantis (which bear a closer resemblance to hippocampi than to Cassie in the previous issue), and dinosaurs and a butterdragon in prehistoric Equestrian times.

Issue #27 The Mane Six encounter several creatures in the Everfree Forest, including an owlbear and a drop bear. Issues #34-37 Siege of the Crystal Empire is centered around a race of shadow ponies called the umbrum. Issues #38-39 Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Snips, and Snails search for a mythical bird called a Turul. Only Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara encounter it. My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #2 Two cloud gremlins named Big Boy and Runt create perpetually bad weather over Ponyville and feed off the misery of the ponies living there. Rainbow Dash eventually defeats them with a Sonic Double Rainboom. Two older cloud gremlins appear in My Little Pony: FIENDship is Magic Issue #2 . Issue #6 Sweet Apple Acres is terrorized by a Sass Squash, a squash-shaped creature that steals apples and replaces them with squashes. The Apple family capture him, but it's revealed to be Granny Smith in disguise. In the end, Applejack discovers that the Sass Squash is real when she sees of photo of him and a young Granny Smith in a photo album.

Issue #7 The Cutie Mark Crusaders encounter and befriend a greater Equestrian mimicker, naming her "Imp" (short for the mimicker's scientific name "Globulus improbulus"). In the end, the CMC return Imp to her cave where her mother hugs her. Like changelings, mimickers are shape-shifters, but while changelings can take on the form of other ponies, mimickers can turn into anything but ponies. According to a book Twilight reads from, "mimickers...are curious and playful creatures. They love to use their powers to play tricks and jokes. When they are young, mimickers try out many different forms. When they become adults, they settle on one form." Issue #8 One of Celestia's flashbacks shows an unspecified time in which Canterlot was attacked by an army of shadowy creatures, appearing to resemble the Nightmare Forces. By an accident with a spell many of the food of the student room came to life and attacks the students, they are defeated by Inkwell when she uses the same spell to bring life to a statue of bunny who eat the living food.

Issue #9 Spike buys dehydrated sea beasts in the mail and helps them grow with growth potion, to the point at which Spike was no longer able to control them. He teaches them the ways of the world until they become smart enough to live on their own. Issue #10 Luna mentions finding an owlbear while on patrol in the Everfree Forest and in the mini-comic "Luna Gets a Pet." My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #3 Princess Celestia and Spike are attacked and taken captive by three large rock lobsters, but they free them after hearing from Spike that "dragons eat rocks." The blue rock lobster is named Iggy, the yellow one Metty, and the red one Seddy. Issue #4 A crystal ghost haunts the Crystal Castle, scaring the staff and taking books from the library. The ghost Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor find is a bard and lover of books who was once captured by King Sombra . He is freed by the end of the story, becoming the new librarian of the Crystal Castle. Also mentioned in the issue are wood sprites and night sprites. Twilight Sparkle mentions that the monster-pedia has a section on ghosts.

Issue #14 A fire snail accidentally causes a string of fires around Fillydelphia . Issue #28 Princess Luna and the Cutie Mark Crusaders encounter a mirrorca, a flying whale-like creature that can reflect all forms of magic with its mirror-like skin. Issue #35 A squirm-spore uses its dust spores to cause hostility between Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer and bring stone statues and suits of armor to life. According to Star Swirl the Bearded's book The Ferocious Flora of Everfree Forest, the squirm-spore once did the same thing to him and Melvin the manticore. Pharaoh Phetlock and his minions are themed after mummies. The Mane-iac refers to the humans as "some form of wingless imp." Miscellaneous Five mythical creatures we'd like to see on 'Teen Wolf' • Hypable Tariq Kyle Teen Wolf is breaking the supernatural barriers by being a show about werewolves that refuses to get vampires in on the story until they have no more ideas left. We love this about them, so we thought we’d mention a few creatures they could include in the story before resorting to the stereotypical werewolf/vampire drama.

The cast and crew of Teen Wolf have already nixed the idea of vampires coming to Beacon Hills any time soon, and we were elated to hear the news. So naturally, being a huge fan of supernatural dramas, we thought we’d come up with five creatures that would make an amazing presence on Teen Wolf while still matching the feel of the show. The Phoenix This mythical bird can be found in the mythologies of the Greeks, Persians, Romans, Chinese and even the Egyptians. Of course, any Harry Potter fan will know about the phoenix because of Dumbledore’s pet, Fawkes. However, Harry Potter isn’t the only fandom that could make use of a bird that is reborn. The phoenix is a symbol of a new beginning because part of the myth is that once it has reached the end of its 500-1000 year lifecycle, it builds a nest and ignites, burning to ashes. The phoenix is then reborn from its ashes to start anew, and we can’t think of a better way to symbolically give Teen Wolf a new start from the already established movie fandom of the same name.

Plus, imagine the hilarity that would ensue if Stiles found a Phoenix in its nest only to witness it burn to ashes and be reborn. The show already has a set veterinary clinic, so they could easily work a phoenix into one of the cages there. Sirens These are already huge in Hollywood, and there are so many things that Teen Wolf can do with the mythology of a siren in Beacon Hills. Sirens vary from story to story, but the overall principle is the same: Maidens that lure men with beauty and music or singing with the intent to murder. Beacon Hills is in California, so it wouldn’t be too wild for sirens to be lurking in the waters by the beach. Even if Jeff Davis doesn’t like the idea of a marine based monster, they could take Sirens back to the woods since in many myths, they are not sea deities. Either way, it’d be really interesting to see even more powerful females in this show that aren’t necessarily a wolf or hunter. Incubus/Succubus A bit more on the adult side of legendary myths, but hey, it’s MTV!

The incubus is a male demon known for seducing women and sleeping with them with the sole goal of creating demonic offspring. The female version of an incubus would be a succubus, so the show can really go either way with this bitch of a beast! The great thing about an incubus (or succubus) is that they don’t have to have a demonic form or look weird, and our friends in Beacon Hills would have no idea what hit them unless someone really well versed in mythology met one. They’d be a great plot tool for future seasons, and we’d love to hear a conversation with Scott and Stiles starting with, “dude, you slept with a succubus?!” Necromancer Not necessarily a creature, a necromancer is just a human who practices black magic to raise the dead. We’ve already witnessed brief glimpses of magic when Stiles only had a minute amount of mountain ash to create a barrier with, so necromancy isn’t too far off. If Dr. Deaton is really somehow practicing a form of magic, then it’s natural that we have enemies who perform magic as well.

A necromancer would be also be a great plot device, and while Teen Wolf won’t be the only show to have brought a necromancer on, we’re sure that Jeff Davis and team can take it to a whole new level. Wendigos We’ve seen these creatures utilized in shows like Charmed and Supernatural, but wendigos are the type of creatures that can be completely remade to fit an original story for Teen Wolf. They’re cannibalistic creatures that are anti-social, normally dwelling in caves or abandoned buildings, where they keep their kidnapped prey before they eat. The general consensus about wendigos are that they’re humans or other beings that have gone crazy due to emotional suffrage over a long period of time. However, other suggestions imply their change is because they’ve eaten human meat and are paying the price for the treachery to their species. In some stories, a scratch or bite from a wendigo turns you into one, and in others it’s an affliction that cannot be healed and the person would have to be killed. Either way, Teen Wolf can take advantage of this hideous and scary beast in any way they see fit, and we’d love to see how they go about this epic myth.

Read full article You may know that one of those dogs-are-so-great-and-warm-our-hearts movies, A Dog’s Purpose, is hitting theaters very soon. Unfortunately, it’s now embroiled in controversy. TMZ has released a video from the film’s Canadian set depicting a German Shepherd being forced into a fast-moving stream of water. As you can tell, the dog clearly does not want to go in it. The most upsetting part of the video comes at the very end when we see the dog finally in the fake river but having trouble staying above water. The crew calls cut to rescue him/her. “Sources connected to production tell us eight outboard motors were used to churn the water and recreate a rushing river,” says TMZ.

“The dog eventually got in the water — or was forced in — but was quickly submerged.” At 1:28 in the below trailer you can see a scene that looks similar to what was being filmed in TMZ’s video: Universal and their partners at Amblin told TMZ in a statement, “Fostering a safe environment and ensuring the ethical treatment of our animal actors was of the utmost importance to those involved in making this film and we will look into the circumstances surrounding this video.” A Dog’s Purpose stars Dennis Quaid and Britt Robertson. It opens next Friday, January 27. Update: Josh Gad, who voices a dog in the movie, issued the following statement on Instagram. He speaks highly of the film but says he finds the leaked video “disturbing.” “While I do not know all of the details and cannot speak to the level of care and caution that went into this moment (as I was never on set for the marking of this film), I am shaken and sad to see any animal put in a situation against its will.” A photo posted by Josh Gad (@joshgad) on Jan 19, 2017 at 5:41am PST We’re suddenly way less interested in seeing this.

— Sony Pictures (@SonyPictures) January 18, 2017 Original story (May 2016): Heroic Hollywood, who has a good record of breaking superhero news, is the source behind the exciting development. As was previously announced, the animated Spider-Man movie will be produced by LEGO Movie helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller. The duo are also set to direct the Star Wars Han Solo spinoff for Lucasfilm. Who is Miles Morales? As we wrote in a lengthy tell-all about the character last year : Miles Morales is the current Spider-Man in Marvel’s Ultimate Comics series. Introduced in 2011, Miles is a black-hispanic young man who, like Peter Parker, is a talented scientist and self-proclaimed nerd. However, unlike his predecessor, Morales steps into the superhero’s shoes at the surprisingly young age of 13. Raised in Brooklyn, Miles was born into a family plagued by criminal activity. Before settling down with his wife Rio, Miles’s father Jefferson used to be crime partners with his brother Aaron (Miles’s uncle). However, where Jefferson tried to shrink away from the lifestyle, Aaron continues to embrace it — assuming the role of classic Marvel villain the Prowler.

After pulling off a heist on Oscorp, Aaron unknowingly takes a genetically modified spider home with him. It is at Aaron’s house that Miles is bit by the spider and starts the transformation into Spider-Man. Where Peter Parker relished the opportunity to become spidey, Miles is reluctant to enter the world of vigilantism. What’s more, his family’s criminal history causes him to question whether or not he can ever be a hero, or if evil is hardwired into him. Oh, and one other cool thing about him: The guy is immortal, unlike the Peter Parker version of Spider-Man. Related: Who is Miles Morales? We explain everything The rumor mill was alive with chatter about the MCU’s Spidey being the Miles Morales version last year, but obviously those reports never panned out. The Peter Parker version of Spider-Man was introduced in Captain America: Civil War, played by Tom Holland. He’s getting his own spinoff film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, next year. Telling the Miles Morales story on screen may be just the thing the animated Spider-Man movie needs in order for it to draw people into the theaters in December 2018. We’ve had enough Peter Parker stories!

2018 will be a great year for super hero diversity: Marvel’s Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman will be released a few months earlier.
