Spider-Man is, without a doubt, one of the richest franchises in terms of mythology. For decades, we've seen multiple alternate versions of the web-slinging superhero in comics, animation, and, more recently, in movies. Now, it has just been announced that one of the most beloved variants will finally make the leap to live-action.
In 2018, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was released, an animated feature that showcased iconic variations of the character: from Gwen Stacy to Peni Parker. One of the most beloved versions was Spider-Man Noir, portrayed by the famous actor Nicolas Cage.
It seems that the character's involvement in the film's story was enough to garner a new user base, which is why a live-action series will be produced that may delve into its background.

Spider-Man Noir to Get Live-Action Series for Prime Video Starring Nicolas Cage
On May 14, 2024, Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, confirmed that Spider-Man Noir will have a live-action adaptation for TV starring Nicolas Cage. At this moment, the rest of the cast and plot details are unknown.
"Noir tells the story of an elderly, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is forced to confront his past life as the city's only superhero," reads the official project synopsis.
The live-action series will premiere first on the MGM+ channel and subsequently have a worldwide debut on Amazon's Prime Video subscription service. That said, it is unknown when it will be available and how many episodes will comprise its initial season.
This television project will be spearheaded by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, who will serve as showrunners and executive producers. Harry Bradbeer, responsible for the Enola Holmes film series, will also be an executive producer and will direct the first 2 episodes.
Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal, members of the original team behind the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse film series, will help develop this production from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
"Expanding the Marvel universe with Noir is a unique and special opportunity, and we are honored to bring this series to our Prime Video customers worldwide. The extremely talented Nicolas Cage is an ideal choice for our new superhero, and the successful production team with Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, and the incredible Sony team are dedicated to expanding this franchise in the most authentic way," said Vernon Sanders in a statement.
