Key Questions Answered
What is the core development?
If your spider-sense is tingling, perhaps it's because Prime Video released the official full trailer for its upcoming live action series, Spider-Noir, at CCXPMX26 in Mexico City over the weekend.
Why does this matter?
As it did with the first teaser back in February, the streaming platform released the trailer in two formats: one in black and white (above)—very Raymond Chandler-esque—and another in color (below), which the showrunners are calling “True Hue.” As previously reported, Marvel Comics created its “noir” line in 2009, reinterpreting familiar Marvel characters in an alternate universe, usually set during the Great Depression in the US.
What are the wider implications?
A version of the Spider-Noir character, voiced by Cage, briefly appeared in the animated masterpieces, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Across the Spider-Verse (2023).
Additional Details
- (He is set to reprise that role in the upcoming Beyond the Spider-Verse.) Co-showrunner (with Steve Lightfoot) Oren Uziel is a film noir fan, so that Marvel series naturally appealed to him.
- The live-action series is still set in 1930s New York, but the spidery superhero is not Peter Parker.
- (Uziel thought the Parker character was too associated with a boyish high school type, which didn’t really fit the noir vibe.) So Cage is playing Ben Reilly, a hard-boiled PI with a secret superhero identity, The Spider.
