Ryan Coogler's latest film, Sinners, is making waves in Hollywood, with a strong performance from Michael B. Jordan and a remarkable debut from newcomer Miles Catton. From Fruitvale Station to Black Panther, Coogler and Jordan's collaborations have captivated audiences worldwide.
Sinners marks their fifth reunion, and stars twenty-year-old musician and actor Miles Catton as guitarist Sammy "Preacher Boy" Moore. Although the film is Catton's first feature film, his performance has already caught the attention of audiences and critics alike.

In an interview with Variety magazine, Miles Catton opened up about his cinematic passions. He revealed his love for comedy, action, and adventure genres, but it was his admiration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that stood out the most. "I'm a huge Marvel fan. Marvel, that's the top," Caton said, hinting that his goal was big. He made no secret of his desire to play one of Marvel's iconic characters.
The most interesting part of the interview was the revelation of Caton's biggest dream. He suggested the name of his ideal Marvel character as Miles Morales—a young, talented version of Spider-Man. "My name is Miles..." Caton said with a laugh, pointing out the coincidental similarity between his name and the character. Miles Morales, who has been a global favorite in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, has yet to appear in a live-action Marvel film, making Catton’s casting dream all the more appealing.
It’s notable that Michael B. Jordan’s Marvel legacy and Catton’s emerging talent come together in Sinners. Jordan’s stellar performance as Erik Killmonger in Black Panther is unforgettable for Marvel audiences. Now, under Coogler’s guidance, Catton is forging his own path. His role in Sinners—as Sammy “Preacher Boy” Moore—portrays the soul of a musician, which ties in with Catton’s real-life musical background.
As Sinners hits theaters, Miles Catton’s Marvel ambitions are being discussed among fans. The prospect of seeing him as Miles Morales has Marvel fans excited. Backed by Coogler’s cinematic brilliance, Catan’s career is on the rise. While fans wait to see him in a Marvel film, it’s clear that Sinners is just the beginning for a young artist whose name—Miles—is perhaps destined to resonate on the big screen.
