Amazon reportedly plans to make a Spider-Man Noir series

Amazon has supposedly greenlit a live-action Spider-Man Noir series. The show will reportedly focus on "an older, grizzled superhero in 1930s New York City." This alternate version of the web-slinging hero first debuted in the 2009 Marvel comic series of the same name. The comic was set in 1933 as a freshly bitten Spidey navigates New York City's Depression-era criminal underworld. It's unclear if Nicolas Cage, who voiced the character in the 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, will come back for the movie. But the actor has said he wasn't asked to return for the upcoming animated sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

This series will be the second Sony-controlled Marvel project to come to Amazon after the upcoming Silk: Spider Society. Oren Uziel will write and executive-produce the show, with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse alumni Phil Lord, Amy Pascal, and Christopher Miller.
