Nicolas Cage's Spider-Noir arrives May 27, in glorious black and white
by Grant St. Clair · Boing BoingNicolas Cage may have been passed over for Superman long, long ago, but at least he's finally getting to play an equally iconic superhero. His voice role as an alternate film noir take on Spider-Man in Into the Spider-Verse apparently struck someone at Sony enough to spin the character off into a full live-action series, which we first heard about early last year.
Spider-Noir, or so it's called, has finally dropped a full-length trailer, along with a release date: May 27 on Prime, not Disney+ for whatever reason. The budget admittedly doesn't look super high, but maybe that's meant to evoke the films it's riffing on? Nic Cage's typically hammy acting certainly seems to be.
Of note is the fact that the show will be offered in two modes: "authentic" black and white or full color. You know, for cowards. If you're going to the trouble of watching the film noir Spider-Man TV show, why would you hamstring yourself at the last second by doing so in color?
