The Marvel universe continues to expand, and fans have a new reason to be excited with the upcoming “Spider-Man Noir” series on Amazon Prime Video. Following the official announcement in May, it has been confirmed that Nicolas Cage will reprise his role as the iconic Spider-Man Noir, a character he voiced in the animated hit “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” This live-action series promises a darker, grittier take on the superhero saga, set against the backdrop of 1930s New York City.
Adding to the excitement, renowned actor Brendan Gleeson has reportedly joined the cast as a villain, according to trusted insider DanielRPK. While the exact nature of his villainous role remains under wraps, fans of the comics know that Spider-Man Noir has faced off against various reimagined versions of classic Spider-Man adversaries such as the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Vulture. Gleeson's casting adds a layer of anticipation, given his track record of delivering compelling and intense performances.




“Spider-Man Noir” will follow an older, world-weary version of the superhero who operates as a private investigator during the Great Depression. The series will explore his struggles with his past and his role as the city's lone superhero. Unlike the comic book version, this adaptation will feature a unique identity for Spider-Man Noir, separate from any Peter Parker variant.
The creative team behind the series is equally impressive. Steve Lightfoot, known for his work on “Hannibal” and “The Punisher,” will serve as co-showrunner alongside Oren Uziel, the writer and co-showrunner of “The Lost City.” The show also boasts executive producers Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and former Sony studio chief Amy Pascal, promising a high-quality production.
With no specific release date yet announced, the anticipation for “Spider-Man Noir” continues to build. The series aims to deliver a fresh, noir-inspired superhero tale that will captivate audiences and offer a new perspective on the Spider-Man legacy. Keep an eye out for further updates on this intriguing addition to the Marvel TV universe.
