Nicolas Cage Reportedly in Talks To Play Spider-Man Noir

More than a year ago will learned that Amazon is set to produce a live-action series centered around Spider-Man Noir, a superhero set in 1930s New York City. Unlike the traditional Spider-Man story, this series will focus on an older, more weathered character, quite different from Peter Parker. Developed by Oren Uziel, the show will have its own path within the Marvel universe, with Uziel serving as both writer and executive producer.

The project so far involves notable names from the industry, including producers Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. Uziel, known for his work on films such as ’22 Jump Street’ and the 2021 Mortal Kombat,’ brings his talents to the table. This series was just one more in line with Amazon’s Marvel character-driven projects, alongside ‘Silk: Spider Society.’

Now some serious reports point in the direction of Nicolas Cage playing Spider-Man Noir as reported by The Ankler. Cage is certainly no stranger to superhero movies, his most notable role being that of ‘Ghost Rider.’ There were also some rumors pointing in the direction that Cage is supposed to join Marvel Studios’ as-of-yet-announced live-action Ghost Rider Project.

If the reports are true, this won’t be the first time that Cage is “playing” Spider-Man Noir. He voiced the character in ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.’ He speaks in a 1930s-style dialect reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney. His universe is depicted entirely in black and white, making him unfamiliar with colors. In the film, he arrives in Miles Morales’ universe along with other Spider-People, thanks to the Kingpin’s super-collider. Throughout the story, he develops a fondness for a Rubik’s Cube and eventually returns to his own dimension alongside his fellow heroes.
