Who Is Miles Caton Playing?
Miles Caton will play that grandson, which puts him in scenes opposite one of the most celebrated actors working today.
Miles grew up in a gospel-singing family in Brooklyn and first drew attention on Little Big Shots at age 12.
The role follows his film debut in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, where he played young blues musician Sammie Moore, the cousin of Michael B. Jordan’s twin characters.
Why Miles Caton Is Having a Moment
Sinners grossed more than $360 million worldwide and earned a record 16 Academy Award nominations, with Miles’ performance drawing plenty of praise and landing him on Variety and Time’s Actors to Watch lists.
Pairing him with Denzel is the kind of casting that puts a rising star beside a screen legend.
He’s also building a music career, having signed to Columbia Records in March and released his major-label debut single, “Don’t Hate Me.”

When Can You See It?
The film opens in theaters Oct. 1, 2027, and production is expected to begin soon.
For Miles Caton, it’s the kind of follow-up that makes a debut feel like the start of something big, and we’ll share more as casting and a title are announced.
