It’s pretty cool that Nicholas Cage will play a live-action version of Spider-Man Noir in the upcoming Sony/Marvel series Spider NoirI can’t wait to see his interpretation of this character.
New information has emerged about the version of Spider-Man he will be playing, which may be of interest to some of you, because fans have assumed he will be playing a variation of Peter Parker, but that may not be the case.
The original synopsis for the series says it will follow “an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York City, forced to confront his past life as the city’s only superhero.”
It’s not specified who the private investigator will be, but according to Daniel Richtman and a new synopsis he shared for the series, Spider-Noir will actually be Ben Reilly.
The new synopsis reads: “Amazon Prime is ready to take a new spin on the Spider-Man franchise with its next show. Breaking with tradition, this series will star Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, instead of the iconic Peter Parker.”
In the comics, Reilly was a clone of Parker who later took on the mantle of Scarlet Spider. It’s a different and unexpected take on the Spider-Noir character, and we don’t know if this Reilly origin will stick, but given that the series is set in the 1930s, I’m sure Cage’s character will be Ben Reilly in name only.
Dr Brendan Gleeson (Mr. Mercedes) was recently confirmed to play the series’ villain.
Spider Noir It is developed by Oren Uziel AND Steve Lightfootwho will also serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. They developed the series with the Inside the Spider-Man Universe team of Mr. Phil, Christopher MillerAND Amy Pascalall three will also serve as executive producers.
Harry Bradbeer will be executive producer and director of the first two episodes.
