Several new pieces of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse concept art have been revealed, giving fans a look at more Spider-People, including an unmasked Scarlet Spider/Ben Reilly.
Who is Ben Reilly in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse?
In a series of tweets from Twitter user @mayday_stan95, Reilly can be seen without his mask looking like Jake Johnson’s Peter B. Parker with blonde hair. This makes sense for the character, who is a clone of Peter Parker from the “Clone Saga” Spider-Man storyline of the 90s that died his hair blonde. You can also see other popular Spider-Man characters and designs, including Spinneret and the Bombastic Bag-Man.
Check out the concept art in the tweets below:
