New SPIDER-NOIR Poster Reveals Nic Cage Won’t Be Peter Parker

As a big Spider-Man fan, I immediately noticed something cool in the movie posters – the sign for Spider-Noir’s detective agency says “B. Reilly.” That name really hit me because it’s a nod to Ben Reilly, who a lot of us who grew up reading Spider-Man in the ‘90s will remember! He was the “Spider-Clone” from the famous Clone Saga storyline that went on for years in the comics. Basically, he was a genetic twin of Peter Parker, sharing all his memories up to a certain point. He took the name Ben Reilly as a tribute to Uncle Ben, and Reilly was his Aunt May’s family name. Eventually, he even became his own hero as the Scarlet Spider, and he’s still appearing in the comics today!
