Cast and characters edit

Production edit

Development edit

In February 2023, Sony Pictures Television was revealed to be developing a television series based on the Spider-Man Noir character for MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video. Oren Uziel developed the series with Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal, all of whom serve as executive producers, with Uziel writing the series.[2] In December, Amazon hired Steve Lightfoot, who previously served as showrunner of Marvel Television's Netflix series The Punisher (2017–2019), to serve as co-showrunner and an executive producer alongside Uziel.[3] Amazon officially ordered and titled the series Noir in May 2024, when Harry Bradbeer joined to direct and executive produce the first two episodes.[1] The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television, Lord Miller, Pascal Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios.[2][1]

Writing edit

Noir is set in an alternate world based on 1930s New York City,[2][1] with Sony Pictures Television president Katherine Pope describing the series as a reimagining of the Spider-Man Noir character in Sony's shared universe known as Sony's Spider-Man Universe.[1][4] Upon the reveal of the series' development, Variety reported that it would be set in its own universe and and that the series would focus on a different main character rather than Peter Parker, who is the identity of Spider-Man Noir in the comics.[2] Miller said in May 2023 that development, along with the writers' room, was put on hold because of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike that began earlier that month, and that work would resume after the strike concluded.[5][6]

Casting edit

Lord and Miller said in May 2023 that there was potential for Nicolas Cage to portray Spider-Man Noir in the series after he previously voiced a version of the character in Sony's animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018).[5] Cage was in talks for the role by February 2024,[7] and was confirmed to star by May.[1]

Release edit

Noir is set to debut in the United States on MGM+ and before releasing internationally on Amazon Prime Video.[1]
