Sony and Amazon/MGM's Spider-Noir series appears to be taking some major liberties with the source material, but given how obscure this Variant of the web-slinger is, does it really matter if "Ben Reilly" is beneath the mask instead of Peter Parker? 

That's debatable; regardless, Sony appears to be ignoring the fact Ben is Peter's clone and we don't anticipate that being addressed in any way when Spider-Noir swings on to streaming next year. 

Today, we have some new photos from the TV show's set (via Just Jared) showcasing Nicolas Cage's private eye. We've already seen that the series will feature a comic-accurate superhero costume and Cage unquestionably looks the part of "Ben" in these snaps. 

Earlier this year, Cage opened up on what led to him reprising a role he first played in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

"I know that the phone's going to be ringing off the hook to play serial killers after 'Longlegs,'" he explained. "And that's not really what I like to do. I don't like violence. I don't want to play people who are hurting people. One of the things that I like about this potential show is that it's fantasy. It's not really people beating people up. Monsters are involved."

Check out these newly revealed Spider-Noir set photos by following the link in the X post below. 

In terms of Spider-Noir plot details, all we know right now is that the series tells the story "of an ageing and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero."

Oren Uziel (Mortal Kombat) and Steve Lightfoot (The Punisher) are co-showrunners, while Harry Bradbeer is set to direct, and executive produce the first two episodes of the series.

Cage will be joined in Spider-Noir by Lamorne Morris (as Robbie Robertson), Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin), Abraham Popoola (AtlasThe Rig), Li Jun Li (BabylonSex/Life) and Jack Huston (Boardwalk EmpireBen-Hur).

Lukas Haas (Inception), Cameron Britton (Mindhunters), Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives,), Michael Kostroff (Wizard of Lies), Scott MacArthur (El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie), Joe Massingill (Barry), Whitney Rice (Suits), Amanda Schull (12 Monkeys), and Karen Rodriguez (Swarm) round out the supporting cast. 

Spider-Noir will premiere on the MGM+ linear channel in the U.S. and globally on Prime Video.

Love Cage, but he's starting to look like a wax dummy of himself, which might be a good movie idea

That fedora is riding awful high on Cage's head. Is he smuggling something under it?

@BillyBatson1000 - Well hopefully a strong wind does blow his hat off because that would be pretty awkward (in more ways than one). 😳

Variants of Peter Parker all over the place except when there's an actual source material variant.... nuts.

Actually noir books would have been better as 616 universe 1930s, but that would have meant writers having to research continuity... the years before Marvel Mystery Comics #1..

Does this stop him being Johnny Blaze anytime soon?

Cage is awesome in anything.
Funny how he's been cast as other comic characters but never got to see a Superman all-the-way-through. side note: I love Cage in anything, good or bad. But, he would have been a horrible Superman.

@lazlodaytona - And it was back in the long-haired Superman (comic book-adjacent era) so it would have been a double hard sell.

@BillyBatson1000 - agreed
