About Spider-Noir

Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage in the lead, tells the story of an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to confront his past life as the city’s one and only superhero. According to a more detailed, unofficial synopsis from Comic Book Movie, "We follow Ben Reilly, a PI, as he stumbles down a rabbit hole of corruption in 1933 New York City, while also exploring his past as a superhero. Reilly investigates the death of Edward Addison, which leads him to uncover the nefarious plans of the Mayor, who is working with crime boss Silvermane and femme fatale Yuri Watanabe."

The cast of Spider-Noir includes Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston. Li Jun Li will play Wraith, while Brendan Gleeson is reportedly portraying Silvermane. Other villains, including the Sandman, are expected to appear as well. Oren Uziel serves as the writer and executive producer on the show, with Into the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and former Sony boss Amy Pascal also on board as executive producers.
