In a cinematic universe where Spider-Men swing from every corner, one actor dares to don the shadowy fedora of Spider-Man Noir. Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage, no stranger to donning iconic costumes (Ghost Rider, anyone?), is set to reprise his voice acting role in a hard-boiled live-action series that’s got Spidey fans’ spider-sense tingling
October 2024: The streets of New York are abuzz as the first on-set snaps of Cage, in full Spider-Man Noir regalia, hit the web. And boy, does he look like he leapt straight out of a pulp comic! The trench coat drapes ominously, the fedora casts a foreboding shadow, and the ski mask? Let’s just say criminals will be shaking in their vintage boots.
But wait, what’s this? Combat boots and a whiff of steampunk in the air? It seems our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man Noir is getting a gritty upgrade for his live-action debut. Purists, fear not – the essence of the character remains deliciously intact.
Oren Uziel (The Lost City) and Steve Lightfoot (The Punisher) are weaving a web of intrigue that’s sure to ensnare even the most jaded of Spidey fans. Picture this, a washed-up gumshoe, haunted by his past life as Spider-Man Noir, navigating the mean streets of 1930s New York. Expect fisticuffs, rooftop chases, and enough one-liners to fill a comic book store.
