MGM and Prime Video have ordered a live-action Spider-Man Noir series starring Nicolas Cage. It centers on a private investigator in New York City in the 1930s who must save the city’s future as its only superhero while confronting his past. Cage first voiced the monochromatic webslinger in the 2018 film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s The Punisher, Shantaram) will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.
Sony Pictures Television Studios president Katherine Pope said she’s “absolutely thrilled to have Nicolas Cage starring in this series” and promises “no one else could bring such pathos, pain, and heart to this singular character.” (Entertainment Weekly)
