The Next 'Spider-Man'-Centric TV Show May Be a Clone War
Gizmodo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Amazon MGM and Sony TV are reportedly close to ordering a new Spider-Man-centric TV show inspired by Marvel's 1990s "Clone Saga" storyline, focusing on clones Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker.
- The series, written by Kelvin Yu, will explore the clones' struggles with their identities and may significantly alter the original comic storylines due to rights restrictions around Peter Parker.
- Producers Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller, who have been involved in previous Spider-Man TV adaptations, are expected to produce the show, which is one of several Spider-Man projects in development.
- The show aims to leverage the diverse Spider-Man universe beyond Peter Parker, similar to how the Spider-Verse movies introduced multiple versions of the character to a broader audience.
- While not yet confirmed, the project is reportedly advancing, and the success of previous adaptations like Spider-Noir suggests that a clone-focused Spider-Man story could be well-received.
