Prime Video has announced the release date and released two teaser trailers for its upcoming live-action series 'Spider-Noir', starring Nicolas Cage in his first leading TV role. The series, which is produced by Sony Pictures Television, is based on the Marvel comic character Spider-Man Noir and will premiere globally on May 27. Uniquely, the show will be available to watch in both a black-and-white 'Authentic' version and a full-color 'True-Hue' option.

Why it matters

Nicolas Cage's return to the Spider-Verse as the gritty, 1930s-set Spider-Man Noir character is highly anticipated by fans of the Oscar-winning animated film 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', in which Cage originally voiced the role. The dual viewing options for the new live-action series also represent an innovative approach to delivering content to audiences.

The details

In the new series, 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 show also features a supporting cast that includes Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson. Emmy-winning director Harry Bradbeer helmed the first two episodes, while Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot serve as co-showrunners.
