Ever since Nicolas Cage voiced the black-and-white Spider-Man Noir in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse<\/a>, it was clear that fans clamoured for more of his moody musings. Now, all these years later, we finally have it: Spider-Noir<\/a> is a live-action series coming to Prime Video, starring Nic Cage himself as Spidey variant Ben Reilly, a hard-boiled \u201830s New York gumshoe with a sideline in slinging webs. And yes, it\u2019ll be in black-and-white (as well as a full-colour \u2018True Hue\u2019 version too).<\/p>\n

\"Spider-Noir<\/p>\n

While fans will get to see more of the character they loved from Spider-Verse, this isn\u2019t the exact same version that we\u2019ll be following in Spider-Noir. \u201cSame character, different universe,\u201d says showrunner Oren Uziel, a longtime cohort of Spider-Verse overlords Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who also produce on the show. \u201cIt\u2019s a different flavour of that character, even though it\u2019s still Nic\u2019s voice,\u201d Uziel further explains. \u201cIt\u2019s not a continuation of Into The Spider-Verse. Once Phil and Chris introduced the idea of the multiverse, I think you\u2019re allowed to take things and make them your own.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Uziel and Cage, the most important thing was \u201cto make a version of Spider-Man that no-one had ever seen before,\u201d the showrunner explains. And he recently got to screen all eight episodes for the leading man. Fair to say, Cage enjoyed it \u2013 while he watched the episodes, he \u201cspoke his own lines back, with pleasure and glee,\u201d recalls Uziel. \u201cIt was one of the most rewarding things I\u2019ve ever experienced.\u201d Of all the multiverses to live in, thank goodness we\u2019re in the one where we get Cage in Spider-Noir.<\/p>\n
