“I was never a hero. I only did it from the thrill…” Prime Video has revealed a new first look featurette for the spin-off Spider-Man series called Spider-Noir, arriving to watch online at the end of May this summer. This is looking like tons of vintage fun! Adapted directly from the real Marvel comics – from Spider-Man: Noir #1 (2009). An aging, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York City is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one & only superhero. Nicolas Cage stars as as Ben Reilly / The Spider – an older and grizzled version of Spider-Man from an alternate world based on 1930s NYC. He returns to being the Spider after stepping away years ago because of a personal tragedy. The cast includes Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, plus Karen Rodriguez, and Lukas Haas. The series will be available in classic black & white as it was intended, based on the comic, as well as in full color to watch as well. The video introduces us to the main bad guys of Spider-Noir: Brendan Gleeson as head honcho mob boss Silvermane, along with Jack Huston as Sandman (aka Flint Marko), Abraham Popoola as Tombstone, Andrew Lewis Caldwell as Megawatt. Plus a glimpse of Jack Mikesell as Jimmy who has pyrokinesis. The more they show, the better it looks. Should be a blast to watch once it debuts this summer.
Here’s the new villains reveal featurette for Prime Video’s series Spider-Noir, direct from YouTube:
