The stupid reason why Spider Noir is not called Peter Parker

Why is Spider-Man Noir Not Peter Parker?

Introduction to Spider-Man Noir

• Disney has opted not to refer to the new Spider-Man Noir character as Peter Parker, despite Nicholas Cage returning for the role.

• The new iteration of Spider-Man Noir will feature Ben Riley instead of the traditional Peter Parker, which diverges from previous portrayals in the Spider-Verse movies.

Background on Ben Riley

• Ben Riley originates from a controversial storyline known as the Clone Saga, where Peter Parker is cloned and both characters struggle with their identities.

• After discovering their true identities, the clone adopts the name Ben Riley and eventually becomes known as Scarlet Spider.

Legal Implications and Character Changes

• The change from Peter Parker to Ben Riley may stem from legal restrictions between Marvel and Sony regarding character portrayal.

• Specific contractual limitations prevent this version of Spider-Man from engaging in activities like drug use or violence beyond self-defense, necessitating a shift in identity.
