Why it matters

This marks Nicolas Cage's first major TV leading role, as he reprises the character he originally voiced in the Oscar-winning 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' animated film. The series also represents an innovative approach to streaming content by offering viewers a choice between two distinct visual styles.

The details

In 'Spider-Noir', Cage stars as Ben Reilly, 'a seasoned, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city's one and only superhero.' The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television and developed by the team behind 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', including Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Amy Pascal.
