The first look at Nicolas Cage's hero in Spider-Noir has been revealed. Sony's Spider-Man Universe continues to release new films, with Venom: The Last Dance just hitting theaters and Kraven the Hunter set to come in December. However, the studio's plans for its Marvel properties extend beyond the theatrical experience. Sony is developing a number of live-action series for Prime Video, with Nicolas Cage leading the cast of Spider-Noir, the first of those series. Previous set photos had revealed Cage's mysterious character in the show, with the first look at the actor as Spider-Man Noir now emerging.
The show will feature Cage in a traditional Spider-Man Noir suit. The character sports all of his trademark items, like the fedora, trench coat, and goggles Cage's Spider-Man Noir wore in both of the animated Spider-Man movies in the Spider-Verse franchise. The set photos and videos show the hero on top of a car during a high-speed chase, with Spider-Man Noir seemingly using his webs on buildings to stop the car.
What The Spider-Man Noir Costume Means For Sony's Show
A True Spider-Man Show Even With Core Changes
The Spider-Noir set photos and video show that Sony wants to bring a faithful version of the Marvel hero to life. Nicolas Cage's hero looks as if he stepped right out of the comics or the animated Spider-Verse films into live-action, with a costume that is a pitch-perfect adaptation. That is reassuring, as the Spider-Noir series is not going to be fully accurate to the character's Marvel history. In a move that could have been made to differentiate the show from Tom Holland's Spider-Man, Cage's Spider-Man Noir will have a different identity in the series.
Spider-Man Noir is normally an alternate universe version of Peter Parker. However, Spider-Noir will make the hero another character, which has yet to be revealed, though rumors suggest that Cage's Marvel hero could turn out to be Marvel Comics' Ben Reilly. The Prime Video series also does not use the Spider-Man name in its title, instead opting to call the show Spider-Noir. Despite these changes, the first look at Spider-Man Noir in action shows that the hero will look just like he should, and that is a great sign.
Our Take On The Spider-Man Noir Costume
I am a big fan of Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man Noir from the Spider-Verse movies, so I was already excited to see him make the jump to live-action and discover how different this new version of the hero is. However, after having seen the first look at Cage's Spider-Man Noir costume, I am looking forward to the new Spider-Noir series even more. The team behind the show did a great job, bringing exactly what I wanted to see from the hero's suit in live-action. The costume also looks great in action, as shown during the car chase, making Spider-Noir look exciting.
