Creating a live-action series inspired by a comic book is a unique kind of risk. That’s especially true for Sony and Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, which will star Nicolas Cage as the character he stole the show with in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. That animated film was a visual feast, so there may be a slight downgrade in translating that story to live action.
Things have gotten even dicier courtesy of Esquire’s exclusive new look at the series. While Prime’s first offering from Spider-Noir teased a high-contrast black-and-white look along the lines of Sin City, the streamer will reportedly give audiences the option to watch the show in color, too. Two versions of Spider-Noir will be available to stream on Prime Video: one will be a stylized monochrome, and the other is the show’s own take on Technicolor.
