Prime Video has released two new posters for Spider-Noir, the first live-action TV series revolving around one of the web-slinger's many Variants.
That means, in place of Tom Holland's Peter Parker, we're getting Nicolas Cage's Ben Reilly and a mid-1930s setting instead of present-day New York. It's a big change, but beyond the name change, it lines up with this character's portrayal in the comic books.
Cage certainly looks a lot like Spider-Man on these posters, striking a classic pose atop a New York rooftop. How much web-slinging and costumed action we'll see in the series remains to be seen, but the trailer suggested both will be prominent.

During a recent interview, Spider-Noir producer Phil Lord said, "That trailer is great. They did a wonderful job. He's amazing. He had this great idea, which was, 'I want to play this like a spider pretending to be a person.'"
Christopher Miller added, "Like, 'After what happened to me, I'm more spider than person, and I have to act like a human in public, and in private I can be my true self,'" prompting Lord to chime in with, "So he sometimes goes to the movies, his character, and practices and studies what the actors are doing so he can use it in his real life."
Asked if the door is open to Spider-Noir Season 2, Lord replied, "It certainly could [be]," with Miller jokingly addressing its sequel chances by saying, "A Spider-Man thing telling more than one story? I don’t know. It cannot be done!"
