Summary

• Spider-Noir, a TV show by Prime Video, features Nicolas Cage as the aged detective in 1930s New York who used to be Spider-Man.
• Lamorne Morris joins as Robbie Robertson in the noir-style series, a journalist who will take on risky stories to further his standing.
• Alongside Cage and Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Li Jun Li, and Abraham Popoola round out the promising cast of the upcoming show.

Spider-Noir is an upcoming TV show by Prime Video and has a solid cast to bring it to life. After the success of Sony’s Spider-Verse franchise, the character of Spider-Man Noir is one whom creatives were keen to continue exploring. The character appeared as a supporting member of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s cast of characters, before being mostly absent for its sequel. That said, his cameo in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s ending teased more to come from the detective-inspired variant of the Web-Slinger.
Aside from his promised role in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’s story, Spider-Man Noir’s future looks even more promising. Although upcoming Spider-Man movies are unlikely to feature Spider-Man Noir beyond the aforementioned animated trilogy capper, his story will continue on the small screen. Prime Video confirmed a series was in development surrounding this iteration of the character and, since then, Spider-Noir has received updates concerning who will star in the show, including actors both familiar and unfamiliar with the character and superhero genre.
