Spider-Noir! Spider-Noir! Want some new photos? Here they are! Nine months after we got our first look at Nicolas Cage’s Ben Reilly<\/a> in Spider-Noir<\/a>, Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot’s upcoming live-action Spider-Verse<\/a> spin-off series (try saying that after a few egg creams!), today Amazon has dropped a bunch of new shots \u2014 both in colour and black-and-white \u2014 from the show. For fresh looks at Cage’s newly monikered ‘The Spider’ Ben Reilly, Lamorne Morris’ roving Daily Bugle reporter Robbie Robertson<\/a>, Li Jun Li’s mysterious starlet Cat Hardy, and Karen Rodriguez as Reilly’s secretary Janet Smart, scroll on down;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Set in 1930s New York and inspired by the hugely popular Spider-Man Noir comics run, Spider-Noir \u2014 per the series’ official logline \u2014 ‘tells the story of Ben Reilly (Cage), a seasoned, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city\u2019s one and only superhero.’ So far, so recognisably Spider-Man Noir. An interesting wrinkle with co-showrunners Uziel and Lightfoot’s series however is that Cage isn’t playing a Peter Parker variant this time out \u2014 or even technically Spider-Man. Here he’s Spidey clone Ben Reilly, and he goes by the distinctly noir-sounding The Spider. In an extensive new interview with Esquire, producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller explained Spider-Noir’s stepping away from the Peter Parker mantle, saying, \u201cThis character’s very different from the Peter Parker from the movies. He’s older and jaded, and not afraid to punch a guy in the face drunkenly. He already had his\u00a0Chinatown<\/a>\u00a0disillusionment moment that happened years and years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside Cage, Morris, Li, and Rodriguez \u2014 who viewers will be able to watch in glorious technicolour or true noir monochrome, preference depending \u2014 Spider-Noir’s impressive ensemble elsewhere includes Brendan Gleeson in a pivotal role as targeted crime boss Silvermane and, in the role of Spidey rogues’ gallery fave Flint ‘Sandman’ Marko, Jack Huston. We’ll find out how they figure into Spider-Noir’s tangled narrative web when the series hits Prime Video this Spring. Until then, we’re dusting off our trench coats and heading back to solve another Rubiks Cube in the rain!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spider-Noir! Spider-Noir!
