In Marvel Comics, Ben Reilly is a genetic clone of Peter Parker\/Spider-Man who establishes his own identity as the Scarlet Spider, though he\u2019s also gone by other names \u2014 in recent lore, for example, he took a villainous turn and went by Chasm.<\/p>\n<p>In the Spider-Verse movies, however, the version of Spider-Noir that Cage voices is a Peter Parker variant. This means that the version of Spider-Man who will be in the forthcoming show won\u2019t be the same character as the one who plays a prominent role in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/tag\/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that there will still be some connective tissue there, as this universe\u2019s version of Ben Reilly could be a clone of the Peter Parker who appeared in Spider-Verse. It\u2019s also possible that, while Spider-Noir is said to take place somewhere in the multiverse of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/tag\/sony&#039;s-spider-man-universe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sony\u2019s Spider-Man Universe<\/a>, there is no connection between the two characters. Whatever the case may be, fans are now wondering why Ben Reilly is the star of Spider-Noir instead of Peter Parker.<\/p>\n<p>A description of the show reads, \u201cThe series\u00a0tells the story of an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city\u2019s one and only superhero.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An exact premiere date for Spider-Noir has not yet been announced, though it is known that the show will arrive at some point in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Spider-Noir posters have fans confused about the show\u2019s connection to the Spider-Verse movies.
