Will Marvel fan’s dream come true? Amazon’s ‘Spider-Man’ series is said to feature an absolute dream actor

Spider Man Noir? Spider-Man: A New Universe? Marvel fans probably already know which Hollywood star we’re talking about. It is natural Nicolas Cagebecause he lent his voice in the animated film Spider-Man Noir. The new series about this comic book hero will not be an animated series, but rather a live-action series – and Cage has long been considered by many fans as THE ideal candidate for the role.

What used to be just pure fan casting now becomes possible thanks to new rumors. Because the well-connected industry newsletter announced, Nicolas Cage is in serious talks to star in ‘Spider Man Noir“. This takes the project a big step forward, and this potential casting should significantly increase interest from comic book fans.

Nicolas Cage: Spidey from the 1930s

Sony Pictures, which is currently bringing the Marvel films about Spider-Man and characters from his universe to cinemas, is collaborating with streaming service Amazon Prime Video for the new series. In the series ‘Spider-Man Noir’ the focus, as the title suggests, is not on the standard Spidey, but on a darker version of the superhero. which Peter Parker does not support either. It’s an older, already graying incarnation of the hero from New York City in the 1930s.

Ever since Nicolas Cage impressively lent his voice to this character, who looks like a washed-up detective from the black-and-white era, in “Spider-Man: A New Universe,” fans have wanted to see him as a real-life version of this character. .

By the way, the new ‘Spider-Man’ series from Sony and Amazon Prime Video is not part of the MCU. It should take place in a completely separate universe and, according to current information, will not be connected to “A New Universe” and the local incarnation of Noir – although the same actor could now play these roles.

Bad news for “Silk: Spider Society”

By the way, the collaboration between Sony Pictures and Amazon Prime Video will also result in further series about Spider-Man characters – but there is now bad news for one of these projects:

The planned series ‘Silk: Spider Society’ from ‘The Walking Dead’ creator Angela Kang is facing a bitter setback. Noisy The entire Writers’ Room, that is, the team that develops the scripts and ideas for the series, is said to have been fired. This means that the project, whose development was already crippled by the double strike in Hollywood, is now back to square one, but showrunner Kang and some producers should still be on board.

The report states that, according to sources, the project will be completely rethought and given a new creative focus, aimed at a male-dominated audience.
