Nicolas Cage is going back to his Marvel character roots as he will once again play Spider-Man Noir, this time in a live-action series adaptation set to premiere on Prime Video.
After a long-awaited cast announcement since the show wasfirst announced, Cage is officially set to star in Amazon Prime Video,Sony, and MGM Studio’s live-action series Noir following the darker version of Spider-Man, as reported byVariety.
The announcement was made by the head of television for Amazon MGM Studios Vernon Sanders on May 14 in New York. “Expanding the Marvel universe with ‘Noir’ is a uniquely special opportunity and we are honored to bring this series to our global Prime Video customers,” said Sanders. “The extremely talented Nicolas Cage is an ideal choice for our new superhero, and the incredible team at Sony is dedicated to expanding this franchise in the most authentic way.”
From the official synopsis, the show follows “an aging and down on his luck private investigator in ’30s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.” However, in the comic book story, Peter B Parker is hellbent on proving Uncle Ben was murdered by the Goblin and his goons, so it will be interesting to see if the series explores this arc or not.
A wider cast list for Noir is yet to be announced but as for the crew,22 Jump Streetscribe Oren Uziel is on board as screenwriter and co-showrunner alongside The Punisher’s Steve Lightfoot as co-showrunner. In addition, Uziel and Lightfoot also serve as executive producers alongside Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal of the Into the Spider-Verse team as well asEnola Holmes’ Harry Bradbeer.
