Prime Video has released the first-look images for a live-action series based on the Marvel comic “Spider-Man Noir”.
Spider-Noir tells the story of Ben Reilly, a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is forced to grapple with his past after a deeply personal tragedy, becoming the city’s one and only superhero.
Starring Nicolas Cage in his first leading television role, the series will be available to stream in two ways for a unique viewing experience: “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Colour,” allowing audiences to choose their own journey.
The first-look images give audiences a special peek into the world of Spider-Noir and introduce the characters.
- Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage) – Back in the day, Ben Reilly was the superhero known as “The Spider”. After a personal tragedy, he stepped away from his heroic alter ego. Only an extraordinary case could bring this down-on-his-luck private investigator out of his ordinary-man act and back behind his mask.
- Robbie Robertson (Lamorne Morris) – A dedicated journalist trying to make it in 1930s New York with the odds stacked against him. He is willing to do whatever is necessary for his career and for his best friend, Ben.
- Cat Hardy (Li Jun Li) – The star attraction at the premiere nightclub in New York. It may seem like she is always looking out for herself, but the truth is more complex than meets the eye.
- Janet (Karen Rodriguez) – Smart, scrappy, and loyal secretary to Ben Reilly. She wants to help her boss and his small business succeed, and she has no problem speaking truth to power.
Full cast includes Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson.
Guest star cast includes Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Caldwell, Amy Aquino, Andrew Robinson, and Kai Caster.
Emmy Award-winning director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) directed and executive produced the first two episodes.
Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s The Punisher, Shantaram) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.
Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series with the Academy Award-winning team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal.
Spider Noir will premiere later this year on Prime Video.
