Nicolas Cage will reprise and expand his role as Spider-Man Noir in a new live-action series that will be released on Prime Video and MGM+. This will mark the first live-action adaptation of the character who previously appeared in the two successful “Spider-Verse” animated films.
Nicolas Cage added another superhero role to his credits when he lent his voice to Spider-Man Noir in both 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and last year’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which earned an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. In both films, he voiced a version of Peter Parker from Earth-90214 that served as New York’s web-slinging vigilante during the 1930s.
The actor is also confirmed to expand on his portrayal of Spider-Man Noir by starring in a live-action series titled Noir, which will be produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television. According to Variety, the series will focus on Noir’s struggles with the memories of his life as Spider-Man while attempting to make ends meet as a private investigator.
The series will be the first live-action adaptation of the Spider-Man Noir character AND the first small-screen project for the Hollywood Actor, who is known for feature films like Con-Air, National Treasure, and Renfield as Dracula, among others.
The series will involve the Into the Spider-Verse team of Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal as executive producers, together with show creators Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, and Harry Bradbeer.
Although there is no official release date announced, it has been confirmed that Amazon will first release the series locally through MGM+ and follow up with a global release through its Prime Video subscription service.
