Spider-Noir: All About the Nicolas Cage Starrer Hardboiled Black and White Live-Action Series
Published
The Spider-Noir live-action TV series is one of the hotly anticipated properties for fans. After all, fans of the Spider-Man franchise are eager to see how the different Spideys are living and fighting crime in their respective universes. With the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: No Way Home throwing open the multiversal gates, the possibilities seem endless.
Viewers first saw Spider-Man Noir in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. He was a version of Peter Parker from the 1930s. His world looked like one straight out from the black-and-white hardboiled detective films and novels. Also, the character was less of a superhero and more of a detective who wanted to avenge Uncle Ben, even if it meant using guns.
A first look for Spider-Noir has been released and it showcases a new world that’s retro, dark, and crime-ridden. Want to know more about the upcoming show?

What is the Spider-Noir show About?
As per Amazon, the logline of Spider-Noir states that it is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. It also says that “The story follows an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, played by Academy Award winner Cage, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”

Is There a Trailer for Spider-Noir?
A trailer hasn’t been released yet, but a first look has been revealed, which features Spidey Noir with a fedora. He is wearing his signature all-dark clothes and has glowing white eyes that contrast with the black aesthetic. It works well to draw our attention to his face and mostly, his eyes.
We hear a voiceover say, “This city’s a mess,” and then we see a spider climb on Nicolas Cage’s hand as he looks at it. The dark aesthetic makes the world feel thrilling and eerie. Spider-Noir’s ability to blend in the dark with his clothes and look will be interesting to see.
However, it looks like his eyes could be bright, as there is a shot in the 30-second clip that shows Spidey rising up from behind a man with his eyes glowing almost-white. Check out the video below:
