The Spider-Man Noir series that has been developed over the past several years for MGM+ and Prime Video is going to series, and it will star Nicolas Cage who voiced the role for the Spider-Verse films. Interestingly, it’s called simply Noir and we’re curious if this means the Spider-Man aspects/name will be removed from the finished product. (There already is a noir character simply known as The Spider who was known from pulp magazines of that era).
Details about the new project can be found below.
NEW YORK—May 14, 2024—Today, at Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation, MGM+ and Prime Video announced that they have ordered Noir, a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir.

Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s The Punisher, Shantaram) will 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, who will also serve as executive producers.
