For those who love the Marvel universe, an interesting novelty is coming to Prime Video (and not to Disney+): Spider-Noir, a live-action series with Nicholas Cage, in his first leading role in a TV series. The series, given the old-fashioned setting, will be available in both black and white and color. Here are the previews on the plot and the cast, the release date of the series and the first teaser trailer revealed by Prime Video, also both in black and white and in color, as well as the images of the series that you can find in the two galleries at the bottom of this article.
What Spider-Noir is about
Spider-Noir is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic “Spider-Man Noir”. Spider-Noir tells the story of Ben Reilly (Cage), a disgraced veteran private investigator in 1930s New York, who following a deeply personal tragedy is forced to deal with his past as the city’s only superhero.
The cast of Spider-Noir
The cast includes Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage, Emmy Award winner Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston and Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning actor Brendan Gleeson. Guest stars include Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Caldwell, Amy Aquino, Andrew Robinson and Kai Caster.
Spider-Noir is produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video. Emmy-winning director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) directed the first two episodes, of which he is also executive producer. Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s The Punisher, Shantaram) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series alongside the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse team: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Amy Pascal. Lord and Miller are executive producers for their production company “Lord Miller”, along with Aditya Sood and Dan Shear. Amy Pascal is also executive producer of the series for Pascal Pictures.
