The brand new Spider-Noir trailer, which features Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, aka The Spider, was released recently, and it does exactly what modern superhero movie (or series, on this case) trailers are alleged to do: construct excitement and show enough without really spoiling anything. Oh, and as is the case with each franchise trailer nowadays, it has spawned quite a few fan theories a month before release.
Certainly one of those theories asserts that the series could also be secretly connected to the MCU and, more specifically, to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and the upcoming live-action movie, Spider-Man: Brand Recent Day. It sounds cursed, but that’s the web. So what’s the reality? Let’s dive in.
Is Spider-Noir Part Of The MCU?
Well, no. No less than from what we all know and are told, Spider-Noir is an element of Sony’s other superhero cinematic universe, called, unimaginatively, Spider-Man Universe. It’s populated by major Spidey villains, but since Sony has a lucrative cope with Marvel Studios and Disney for the MCU, it cannot include the Peter Parker iteration of Spider-Man.
So far as we all know, then, Spider-Noir is an element of a special universe than the MCU. So, how did this rumor start? Well, the brand new trailer gives a blink-and-you-miss-it shot of Man-Spider. In the event you don’t already know, Man-Spider is a large a part of the Spider-Man: Brand Recent Day trailer. We see Holland’s Spidey assuming the traits of an arachnid and apparently losing his humanity, a minimum of temporarily.
Who Or What Is Man-Spider?
Man-Spider, speaking from Marvel Comics’ standpoint, just isn’t a lot a separate character as a mutation of the prevailing Spider-Man. As shown within the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand Recent Day, Peter Parker temporarily transforms into Man-Spider, which opens up numerous body-horror possibilities.
The story arc was popularized within the Nineteen Nineties’ iconic Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Within the shot from Spider-Noir, we see an individual with half of his face resembling a spider’s.
Is There Any Link Between Spider-Noir & Brand Recent Day?
Not that we all know of. But then, we live within the multiverse era of comic-book movies and shows. Tom Hardy’s Venom, in any case, made a temporary appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Heck, the movie featured the previous two live-action Spider-Man, played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. All this means that, even when they could belong to a special universe, there may be nothing slightly multiversal shenanigans wouldn’t do.
While Spider-Noir releases on Prime Video on May 27, Spider-Man: Brand Recent Day hits theaters globally on July 31.
