This was reported a few weeks ago Nicolas Cage was in talks to star in Sony’s live-action Spider-Man Noir series, and it turns out the rumors are true.
Cage confirmed that there have been “conversations” about reprising his role in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in live-action. Cage shared with Collider, “I can say we’ve talked. It’s no secret that I love the character.” Cage also described the character as a sort of “mash up”, inspired by Golden Age actors such as Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart.
The actor said: “I get to combine my favorite golden age performances – meaning Robinson, Cagney, Bogart – with a character who is, I guess, widely regarded [to be] Stan Lee’s masterpiece. I see it as a sort of foray into a pop art mash up of, sort of, a [Jungian] Lichtenstein, a mix of Bogart and Cagney, but nothing is definitive yet. It’s just conversation.”
The project is developed by The Punisher writer and producer Steve Lightfoot as co-showrunner and is joined by Oren Uziel, who is a writer on the project and will serve alongside Lightfoot as co-showrunners.
The series will be set in 1930s New York and will follow the adventures of this fan-favorite Spider-Man variant, ready to take on the criminal underworld in his signature noir style. It was previously reported that the show will be set in a separate universe and the main character will not be Peter Parker.
In this noir-inspired world, Peter Parker takes on the role of Spider-Man in the comics, but with a decidedly interesting twist. Dressed in a trench coat and fedora, Spider-Man Noir fights crime in the shadows of New York City, exploring a landscape full of corruption and danger. The character design and narrative draw heavily from the film noir genre, incorporating detective fiction elements and a morally ambiguous atmosphere. Over the course of his adventures, Spider-Man Noir faces a gallery of villains.
I would love to see Cage star in the Spider-Man Noir series! Would be great! We’ll just have to wait and see if this is something he’ll agree to do or broadcast.
