“I am very interested in getting into streaming and episodic television. I see what opportunities they offer in character development and how much time they give to explore them,” he admitted some time ago Nicolas Cage. It seems that the actor is sticking to his resolutions and in some time we will see him in a new series – “Spider-Man Noir”.
Some time ago, the world was informed that Amazon had decided to create a series about Spider-Man, but not in the classic approach. The latest superhero production will focus on an alternative version of the hero, which we could see, among others, in the animated film “Spider-Man Universe” (in the original language version, he was voiced by Nicolas Cage).
Spider-Man Noir first appeared in comics in 2009. The character was bitten by a spider from a stolen artifact. After this event, he began to have visions of the spider god from whom he received his powers.
The first photos from the set of the “Spider-Man Noir” series have appeared on the Internet.
Steve Lightfoot is the showrunner of the series, and Orien Uziel, who is also a writer and executive producer, will support him. The action is to be set in the 1930s in New York. Eight episodes have been announced.
This is not the first time Nicolas Cage plays a character from the Marvel Comics Universe. In 2007 and 2008, the actor played Ghost Rider, whose real name is Johnny Blaze. As a teenager, the man made a mystical pact in exchange for his father’s health. He became the Spirit of Vengeance at the service of unclean forces. However, he rebelled against them. As a hell rider, he travels across the United States on a motorcycle, fighting demons and other ghosts.
