It's not gonna make or break the show.Not that interesting then.
Even then, personality wise Spider-Verse Noir is very different than how he is in the comics. Just let Cage do his thing and we're golden.Maybe it's because I know very little about this version of Peter Parker, besides what I saw in Into The Spiderverse.
Hopefully they come up with something compelling. From my POV, why wouldn't you use Peter Parker??? Maybe it has to do with studio politics behind the scenes. The idea of an older Peter in a different timeframe/noir setting is far more intriguing. Much easier to sell to fans and a general audience. Nick Cage as Peter Parker, doing Nick Cage things. That's the best recipe.
Hopefully, Lord & Miller involvement will set it apart from the usual Sony schlock. Cage coming back is a big plus. For now, I'm at least curious.
Hm if true, I wonder if this means they are trying to do a Noir clone saga story or if it's simply them using the name Ben Reilly just to have a name that's not Peter. So it's like they're not using Peter Parker but they kinda are I guess? The former would be pretty interesting but I have a feeling it's gonna be the latter.
As always, take it with some salt, but he reported Gleeson being cast days before the trades reported it.
Guessing she's playing Yuri/Wraith
Deadline reports that Li will play "a singer at the premier nightclub in New York," but a recent plot synopsis revealed that Nicolas Cage's Depression-era wall-crawler will be facing a "femme fatal" take on Yuriko Watanabe, and Daniel Richtman believes this is indeed who she's been cast as.
The scooper also reports that Tom Burke and Abraham Popoola are in talks for unknown parts.
