Spider-Noir: 8 Actors Join Nicolas Cage in Live-Action Spider-Man Series

Noir tells the story of an aging and down on his luck privateinvestigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with hispast life as the city’s one and only superhero. Lamorne Morris (New Girl) will play Robbie Robertson opposite Cage and a cast that includes series regulars Abraham Popoola (The Marvels), Li Jun Li (Evil), and Brendan Gleeson (Joker: Folie à Deux) in undisclosed roles.

In the comics, Spider-Man Noir is the Peter Parker of Earth-90214, a gun-toting, gang-busting investigative reporter turned black-clad vigilante who fights organized crime and corruption as The Spider-Man. The four-issue Spider-Man Noir by writers David Hine (Daredevil: Redemption) and Fabrice Sapolsky (Image’s One-Hit Wonder) and artist Carmine Di Giandomenico (All-New X-Factor) pit The Spider-Man against mob boss Norman “The Goblin” Osborn and his gang, which included the Enforcers — Fancy Dan, Ox, and Montana — and the Goblin’s carnie cronies Kraven (aformer animal trainer), the Vulture (an animalistic freak showcannibal), and the Chameleon (a master of disguise).

The 2009-2010 sequel series, Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face, similarly reimagined the masked Crime Master as a human trafficker of abducted African Americans, the granite-skinned Sandman as a mob enforcer, Felicia Hardy as the femme fatale owner of The Black Cat speakeasy, and Dr. Otto Octavius as a biologist who conducted human experiments funded by Nazi Germany.

Emmy Award-winning director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) is directing the live-action adaptation and will executive produce the first two episodes. Oren Uziel(The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s ThePunisher, Shantaram), who serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, developed the series with the AcademyAward-winning team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Phil Lord,Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal, who will also serve as executiveproducers. Spider-Noir will debut domestically on MGM+’s linear channel, then globally on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories in 2025.
