Spider-Man: NOIR – TRAILER | Nicolas Cage 'Live-Action' Series | Prime Video

One of the big changes for the Spider-Man Noir TV show is the proper title of the live-action series, as Prime Video confirmed that it will simply be called Noir. A new Noir series synopsis came with the announcement, as it "tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero." As previously reported, this will not focus on Peter Parker but rather on someone new under the mask, with Cage being Spider-Man in this case.

With that, it's hard to argue that Nicolas Cage isn't a wonderfully exciting choice for Noir. The first and most obvious reason is, of course, that he already has experience with the role. Cage voiced Spider-Man Noir in the excellent Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which is largely to credit for the character's current popularity. Cage's famous vocal expressiveness works well for the out-of-time wall-crawler, and his animated facial expressions and full-body acting can finally come out to shine as his version of the character moves from animation to live-action.
