Parker is exhausted, out-of-shape, and questioning whether he even likes being Spider-Man anymore. This version of Spider-Man certainly isn’t the Luke Skywalker of this hero’s journey - he’s the Obi-Wan. Parker hands the web-shooter down to Miles, literally and figuratively. While we see one Peter Parker die and the other survive long enough to face a mid-life crisis, B. This is very much Miles’ journey, from start to finish, as he is the character who has to learn to become Spider-Man, while the others are already established from the get-go. While the film makes it pretty clear that being Spider-Man isn’t exactly a unique thing across the multiverse, the film also firmly places Miles as the protagonist. In superhero comics, just about every character has had a clone at some point, so the fact that Spider-Man has one is kind of irrelevant, and probably way too distracting to bring into a storyline that already involved parallel universes and doppelgangers. So, who is the blond guy? He’s actually a nod to Ben Reilly, who in the comics, is Peter Parker’s clone, who briefly took over as Spider-Man in Clone Saga. That’s certainly not the Peter Parker we’ve grown accustomed to, and it turns out B.
The first Spider-Man to appear in the film initially appears the most familiar, so it’s quite jarring when the mask comes off and reveals his bleach blonde hair. Though, strangely enough, Jake Gyllenhaal was touted to take the role if Maguire backed out, and now he has returned to the Spider-Man franchise as supervillain Mysterio. This is a reference to Tobey Maguire’s major back injury that made him seriously reconsider returning to the role in Spider-Man 2.
