As noted in the message above,Spider-Noirwill be streaming in both black and white like the original comic and in color as well. Spider-Man Noir was created in 2009 by writers David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky, artist Carmine Di Giandomenico, and the designer of the costume, Marko Djurdjević. This version of Spider-Man was introduced as part of a Marvel Comic event that featured some of the publishers’ top characters re-imagined in noir setting during the Great Depression.
Spider-Man Noir reappeared in several comics including the initialSpider-Versecrossover. Cage went on to voice the character inSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It’s unclear how many changes the show will make to the character or if he will even be called Peter Parker in this incarnation. The show’s description simply states thatSpider-Noir“tells the story of an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”
Cage briefly played Superman inThe Flashfeature film, which was a nod to theSuperman Livesmovie by Tim Burton that was ultimately never made. The actor also starred as Ghost Rider in two live-action feature films.
The primary cast of Spider-Noir includes Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston. Amazon hasn’t set a date for the show yet, but it will premiere on MGM+ in the United States and stream on Prime Video worldwide.
