He is also an experienced baseball writer with over six years of articles between multiple outlets, most notably FanSided's CubbiesCrib. Whether it's taking in a baseball game, a new season of Futurama or Castlevania: Nocturne, or playing the latest From Software title, he is always finding ways to show his fandom. When it comes to gaming and anything that takes inspiration from it, he is deeply opinionated on what's going on. Outside of entertainment, he's a graduate of Eureka College with a Bachelor's in Communication where he honed his craft as a writer. Between The IV Leader at Illinois Valley Community College and The Pegasus at Eureka, he spent the majority of his college career publishing articles on everything from politics to campus happenings and, of course, entertainment for the student body. Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Nicolas Cage's Spider-Noir has swung into CCXP in Brazil and set up his investigative office for a bit of field work at the convention. However, the new display for the Prime Video series has officially confirmed that the star won't be playing Peter Parker as usual. Collider's Steve Weintraub was on site early before the event kicks off tomorrow and was able to snap pictures of the official poster and the newly-constructed setup that's designed to evoke the feeling of 1930s New York City. Included in the display is a door to the detective's office that instead reads "B. Reilly," aka Ben Reilly.
The confirmation means Spider-Noir will set itself apart somewhat from its comic inspiration. On the page, the aging private investigator is a variant of Peter Parker from a much darker, grittier universe, fighting crime in a way more akin to Batman, with his iconic motto twisted into the much colder, "if there is too much power, then it is the responsibility of the people to take it away." It's an interesting wrinkle that will differentiate Cage's gruff iteration from the other Spider-Men that have been brought to life in live-action. Reilly is typically depicted as a clone of Peter, who takes on the moniker of the Scarlet Spider, so it remains to be seen if those origins play into the detective's tale and add a bit of crisis of identity to the character.
