Writer says MCU Spider-Man draft nearly included British Spider‑Man

comicsSep 24, 20266270

The writer of Spider-Man: Brand New Day told GamesRadar that early drafts of the MCU film nearly included a British Spider-Man and a clear nod to the Spider-Noir variant. The revelation refers specifically to initial screenplay versions rather than the finished movie, with those elements ultimately not appearing in the released film. The comments surfaced while the writer discussed the movie's development and discarded ideas, casting the British Spider-Man and the Spider-Noir wink as deleted creative directions rather than confirmed future plans.

An early version of ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ featured Peter Parker introducing himself to MJ as Ben Reilly. “We had him putting on his British accent, so it would have been Tom’s British accent, but Tom from Queens pretending he’s British.” (Source: www.thebulwark.com/p/breaking-d...)

Why would he need a fake name?

Ideally they cut this because they want to do the clone Saga next movie.

Would have been a bajillion times more comic accurate than Spider-Verse Ben.

I expected Ben Reilly to have been his fake name but maybe because Noir was using it.

They then realised they'd need to confirm MCU Uncle Ben and then backed out

Spectacular Spider-Man was good. Miles Morales was very good. My favorite of the week is Conan so far. Punisher vs Spider-Man is left plus some other comics I still haven't read from other weeks.

The original Spider Man intro seems pretty cool, but it’s important to remember that the animations from this intro of Spidey webbing around were recycled at least 30 times per episode 😆☠️ youtu.be/bbK9lRg3M7M?...
