Nicolas Cage is stepping into the world of television in a big way. The actor is set to star in a live-action series based on the popular Spider-Man variant, Spider-Man Noir.
This marks Cage’s first foray into television in 45 years, following a brief stint as a teenager.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Cage revealed some intriguing details about the upcoming show. He described the visual style as a “Pop-art mashup, like a Lichtenstein painting,” filmed entirely in black and white. This aesthetic choice, along with Cage’s portrayal, aims to capture the essence of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
“I mean, the fantasy would be that I could try to aspire to be something more Golden Age,” Cage said. You know, something more like James Cagney or Humphrey Bogart.
The eight-episode series will see Cage take on the role of an aging detective with a secret past – Spider-Man Noir. While details remain scarce, Cage hinted that the show will lean more towards fantasy elements than brutal brawls, with monsters serving as the primary antagonists.
Fans can expect a unique visual style and a charismatic performance from Cage when Spider-Man Noir swings onto MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video.
