Deadline has revealed that Li Jun Li from Wu Assassins has joined the cast of the Nicolas Cage Spider-Man Noir series for MGM+ and Prime Video. The news comes with an updated title – Spider-Noir. The show tells the story of 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.
Li’s role will be as a singer at New York’s premier nightclub. If a recent report by DanielRPK is correct, Li will be playing a character named “Yuri Watanabe.” In addition to Nicolas Cage, the series will also feature Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson.
The first two episodes of Spider-Noir are set to be directed and executive produced by Harry Bradbeer. The show will debut domestically on MGM+ and then globally on Prime Video across the world.
