After beating Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a message memorializing Chadwick Boseman, who played the Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, plays during the credits. It reads:

"In loving memory of a noble king, Chadwick Boseman. His honor, strength, and compassion will reverberate for generations to come. Wakanda forever."

Boseman died in August 2020 at the age of 43 due to complications with colon cancer. Boseman kept the diagnosis private for years while continuing to act in films like Black Panther, Da 5 Bloods, and more. Miles Morales also includes another memorial, an in-game one, for Marvel's Stan Lee. A bronze statue of the legendary comic book creator can be found in the game's open-world on the Upper West Side next to Mick's Diner.

"With great powers comes great responsibility."

Lee, who died in 2018, made a cameo as the owner of Mick's diner in Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4. It was part of a long-running tradition of including Stan Lee in various Marvel projects over the years, whether it be in movies, books, or other. A tribute to Lee was also added to the Spider-Man PS4 credits post-launch.
