Nicolas Cage is back as Spider-Man in live-action Amazon series


With great power comes the unbearable weight of massive talent.

By Andrew Webster, an entertainment editor covering streaming, virtual worlds, and every single Pokémon video game. The new series, which was first reported last year, is simply called Noir and, according to Amazon, “tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.” Oren Uziel ( 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot ( The Punisher on Netflix) will serve as co-showrunners, while Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal, who worked on the Spider-Verse films, will be executive producers. It’s also not the only Spidey spinoff in the works at Amazon, joining Silk: Spider Society from showrunner Angela Kang ( The Walking Dead).
