Shameik Moore, who plays Miles Morales, has explained the context behind his affectionate remarks about co-star Hailee Steinfeld following her engagement. After Steinfeld announced her engagement on November 30, 2024, Moore’s subsequent message on X was widely seen as a disappointed reaction.
Moreover, a video compilation of Moore’s interviews during the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse press tour, where he seemed to hint at attraction to Steinfeld, added fuel to the online discussion. At FAN EXPO San Francisco 2024, Moore addressed these compliments, stating that they stemmed from his genuine appreciation of working with a talented, same-age female voice actor.
He clarified that in voice acting, co-stars don’t often get to work together in person like in live-action filming, so when they do, it’s special. While his comments could apply to the whole cast, he might have just been acknowledging his admiration for Steinfeld during shared events.
Online assumptions can be a tricky thing for celebrities. Nuance gets lost online, and though some have interpreted Moore’s actions and words as signs of romantic feelings, until confirmed by him or Steinfeld, it remains just a rumor.
