Academy Award winner and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse star Nicolas Cage has confirmed that he has had talks with the studio about reprising the role of Spider-Man Noir in the upcoming live-action series. Cage expressed his fondness for the character during an interview at SXSW while promoting his upcoming horror movie, Aracadian. He mentioned that discussions are ongoing regarding his potential return to the role.
Spider-Man Noir, a character first introduced in Marvel Comics in 2009 as part of the Marvel Noir universe, offers a unique take on the superhero genre.

Embracing his newfound abilities, Spider-Man Noir becomes a masked vigilante fighting crime in a dark and gritty setting.
Nicolas Cage previously voiced Spider-Man Noir in the critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which won an Oscar in 2019. The live-action series featuring Spider-Man Noir is currently in development at Amazon, with writer Orien Uziel and producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller attached to the project.
While details about the series remain scarce, fans are eager to see Cage reprise his role as Spider-Man Noir. The potential connection between the live-action series and the animated Spider-Verse franchise is yet to be confirmed, but the return of Cage to the character would undoubtedly excite audiences.
Looking ahead, Cage is set to star in the action horror film, Arcadian, where he plays a father protecting his sons from a mysterious evil. Scheduled for release in theaters in the United States on April 12, 2024, Arcadian promises a thrilling experience for fans of Cage's work.
As fans anticipate the future of Spider-Man Noir in both live-action and animated formats, the involvement of Nicolas Cage in the upcoming series adds an exciting dimension to the expanding Spider-Verse universe.
