Amazon shares first official pic of Nicolas Cage in Spider-Noir
Prime Video
Last year, it was officially announced that Nicolas Cage will reprise his role as Spider-Man Noir in the upcoming live-action series, Spider-Noir. While Cage has previously been spotted on the show’s set in the costume created for his character, Amazon shared the first official picture of the actor as Spider-Man Noir during Prime Video’s upfront presentation.

As noted in the message above, Spider-Noir will be streaming in both black and white like the original comic and in color as well. Spider-Man Noir was created in 2009 by writers David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky, artist Carmine Di Giandomenico, and the designer of the costume, Marko Djurdjević. This version of Spider-Man was introduced as part of a Marvel Comic event that featured some of the publishers’ top characters re-imagined in noir setting during the Great Depression.
Spider-Man Noir reappeared in several comics including the initial Spider-Verse crossover. Cage went on to voice the character in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It’s unclear how many changes the show will make to the character or if he will even be called Peter Parker in this incarnation. The show’s description simply states that Spider-Noir “tells the story of an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”
Cage briefly played Superman in The Flash feature film, which was a nod to the Superman Lives movie by Tim Burton that was ultimately never made. The actor also starred as Ghost Rider in two live-action feature films.
The primary cast of Spider-Noir includes Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston. Amazon hasn’t set a date for the show yet, but it will premiere on MGM+ in the United States and stream on Prime Video worldwide.

3 great dramas on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch in February 2025
There are a lot of movies on Amazon Prime Video, but not all of them are great. In fact, one of Amazon’s biggest weaknesses is the difficulty separating the good films from the mediocre movies. You may find yourself scrolling down for a long time — as I did — when picking out this month’s choices for the three great dramas on Amazon Prime Video that you need to watch in February.
Our first choice is a wartime story based on true events, while the second is a romantic drama with a touch of sci-fi fantasy. Finally, our third pick of the month is a historical drama about a 16th-century courtesan who might be a little too smart and enlightened for her own good.

Nicolas Cage teases Spider-Man Noir series, reveals episode length and more
Nicolas Cage is one of the most recognizable movie stars of the last 40 years. However, the Oscar winner is taking his talents to the small screen for Amazon’s Noir, a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir.
Per Amazon, Cage will star as the titular Spider-Man Noir, “an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.” Cage famously voiced Peter Parker/Spider-Man Noir in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Noir will be the first time the character has been portrayed in a live-action adaptation.
