Nicolas Cage stars in the new live-action series Spider-Noir, based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. The show marks Cage’s first leading role in a TV series. In it, he plays Ben Reilly, a down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who was once a superhero known as “The Spider.” When he’s offered a new case, Ben assumes his old alter ego one more time.
While we’re excited to see what Cage can do in this role, we’re also looking forward to the choose-your-own-viewing-experience aspect of the show. The series will be available to stream two ways: “Authentic Black & White” for an especially noir feel, or in “True-Hue Full Color,” a stylized, color-saturated option. Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola and Jack Huston all co-star. The series will debut on MGM Plus’s broadcast channel on May 25 and arrives on streaming on Prime Video on May 27 as a binge release.
