The annual CCXP Brazil officially kicked off recently, with numerous film and television projects vying for exposure during the event. Among them, the live-action series "Spider-Noir," starring Nicolas Cage, seized the opportunity to release its teaser poster today. The poster was uploaded in both color and black-and-white versions (pictured below), a creative choice made to reflect the show's dual-version release, faithfully capturing the vintage noir detective film style inherent to the original "Spider-Noir" comics.

The true surprise from these two posters, however, is the revelation that Spider-Noir's real name, "Peter Parker," has been changed to "Ben Reilly," Peter Parker's clone from the comics. The mere presence of Ben Reilly's name on the office door in Spider-Noir's poster has already sparked a flurry of discussion among comic book fans. While officials had previously hinted that the series' Spider-Noir would not be Peter Parker, they have yet to explain the specific reasoning behind this significant name change.

In addition to Cage, the series' cast also includes Li Jun Li, Lukas Haas, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson. The show's timeline closely mirrors the original comic, set in a parallel universe's 1930s New York, where Spider-Noir is depicted as an older, white-haired man.

"Spider-Noir" is co-created by Steve Lightfoot, showrunner of "Marvel's The Punisher," and Oren Uziel, writer of "The Cloverfield Paradox." Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the producing duo behind "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," along with Amy Pascal, a producer on all "Spider-Man"-related films, also continue as executive producers.
