Spider-Noir first look: Nicolas Cage in gritty superhero series set during the Great Depression-era New York
Nicolas Cage is officially returning to the Spider-Verse, this time in a live-action role as the gritty, noir-style superhero in 'Spider-Noir,' a new series co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios. The first-look image for the series has been unveiled, giving fans a glimpse of Nicolas Cage's brooding take on the mid-century hero, first introduced in animated form in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Across the Spider-Verse (2023). Set in Great Depression-era New York, 'Spider-Noir' follows an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator, who also happens to be the city's only costumed crimefighter. The series marks Nicolas Cage's first television role, portraying a darker, vintage version of Spider-Man that pays homage to pulp fiction and noir cinema of the era. The series will be available to watch in both black-and-white and color, allowing viewers to choose how they experience the stylised setting. In addition to Cage, the series will feature a diverse ensemble cast including: Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) Jack Huston (American Hustle) Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo) Guest stars will include Andrew Caldwell, Amy Aquino, Cameron Britton, Kai Caster, Cary Christopher, Lukas Haas, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Andrew Robinson, and Amanda Schull. 'Spider-Noir' is set to premiere sometime in 2026, though an exact date has not yet been revealed. The series will first air on MGM+'s cable and satellite channels in the US, followed by a global release on Amazon Prime Video the following day. Spider-Man Noir, also known as Spider-Noir or simply Noir, is an alternate version of Peter Parker from Marvel's Noir universe. Like the original, he gains his powers from a radioactive spider and takes on the mantle of crimefighter after the death of his Uncle Ben — but this version operates in a much darker, more violent world, using detective skills and old-school grit rather than quippy charm. With its period setting, stylized visuals, and Nicolas Cage's noir-infused gravitas, 'Spider-Noir' promises to bring something fresh to the ever-expanding Marvel multiverse.

What we know about 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,' the final installment of the Oscar-winning trilogy
Sony has finally announced a new release date for "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse." The film was originally meant to premiere in 2024, under a year after "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." "Beyond the Spider-Verse" is set to end the animated trilogy, though the franchise will continue. Warning: Major spoilers ahead for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse" has finally got a new release date after over a year of delays. During Sony's presentation at CinemaCon on Monday, the studio announced that the final chapter of the "Spider-Verse" animated trilogy is expected to premiere on June 4, 2027. Fans were expecting "Beyond the Spider-Verse" to premiere in March 2024, less than a year after "Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse" debuted in theaters with a cliffhanger ending that frustrated fans. However, in July 2023, a month after "Across the Spider-Verse" was released, Sony took "Beyond the Spider-Verse" off their calendar amid the actors' and writers' strikes in Hollywood. Variety reported on Monday that Phil Lord, the producer of the "Spider-Verse" franchise, and Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, the co-directors of the upcoming movie, said at Cinemacon that "Beyond the Spider-Verse" was delayed because they needed more time to perfect the film. Here's what we know so far about the upcoming "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse" film. "Beyond the Spider-Verse" will be the finale of the Miles' story. While other "Spider-Man" franchises focus on Peter Parker, The "Spider-Verse" movies took a new approach by focusing on Miles Morales, a hero who takes on the Spider-Man mantle after the Peter Parker of his world dies. Lord and the "Spider-Verse" producer Christopher Miller told Entertainment Tonight in 2023 that "Beyond the Spider-Verse" will be the end of Miles' trilogy. The franchise began in 2018 with "Spider-Man: Into The SpiderVerse," a critically-acclaimed and fan-favorite that grossed $393 million dollars globally. It also ended Disney's six-year animated Oscar streak in 2019 when it won the best animated feature award over "Incredibles 2" and "Ralph Breaks the Internet." "Across the Spider-Verse" meanwhile nabbed one Oscar nomination and grossed $690 million. Deadline estimated that Sony made a $328 million profit. Following the success of the first two films, Sony announced other spin-offs, including a live-action series based on Nic Cage's "Spider-Verse" character Spider-Man Noir. This could mean Miles and other heroes from his movies may return in other series and movies after "Beyond the Spider-Verse." "Beyond the Spider-Verse" will follow on from the "Across the Spider-Verse" cliff hanger. Entertainment Weekly reported that the producers and directors of "Beyond the Spider-Verse" said at CinemaCon that the film will pick up where the previous film ended. In the first film, Miles Morales, the Spider-Man of Earth-1610, saved the day by destroying a super-collider but accidentally made two new threats, holes in the multiverse and Spot, a portal-creating villain. Miles attempts to join a society of Spider heroes on a mission to fix holes in the universe and defeat Spot. The group's leader, Miguel O'Hara, doesn't want Miles' help, believing he is the original anomaly causing the multiverse to malfunction because Miles got his powers from a radioactive spider from another universe, Earth-42. Miles learns Spot plans to kill his father, Jefferson Morales. But the Spider Society, including many of Miles' friends, tries to stop him from saving his father. The Spider Society thinks Jefferson's death is a "canon event," a predestined moment that occurs in every universe to keep the multiverse intact. Miles escapes using the Spider-Society's portals but is accidentally sent to Earth-42, a world where Spider-Man doesn't exist, criminals are in charge of New York, and Miles' father dies instead of his Uncle Aaron, who died in the first film. Earth-42's Miles and Uncle Aaron are villains who capture the original Miles and torture him. The film ends with Miles' allies from the first two films leaving the Spider-Society to save him. This ending sets up three showdowns for the next film. Original Miles vs. Earth-42 Miles. The first look photos of "Beyond The Spider-Verse" released on Monday give a glimpse of this fight. If Miles manages to escape Earth-42, he and his allies will likely face off against the Spider-Soceity. Finally, whoever is still standing will likely have to unite to stop Spot and save Jefferson and the multiverse. Many of the cast members from the first two films will probably return for the final movie. The full cast list for "Beyond the Spider-Verse" is yet to be revealed, but judging by the end of "Across the Spider-Verse," it is likely to feature a lot of characters established in the first two movies. This includes Miles (Shameik Moore), Earth-42 Miles (Jharrel Jerome), Uncle Aaron (Mahershala Ali), Jefferson Morales (Brian Tyree Henry), the Spot (Jason Schwartzman), Rio Morales (Luna Lauren Velez), Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), Peni Parker (Kimiko Glen), Spider-Man Noir (Nic Cage), Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac), Spider-Woman (Issa Rae), Spider-Byte (Amandla Stenberg), Spider-Man India (Karan Soni), Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya), Scarlet Spider (Andy Samberg), and LYLA (Greta Lee). The "Spider-Verse" producers have teased more cameos. One of the most exciting moments in "Across the Spider-Verse" is the introduction of the Spider-Society, which features hundreds of variations of the web-slinging hero, both existing and others created for the movie. Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men make a cameo in the movie, alongside the titular character from "Spectacular Spider-Man," the Spider-Man from the 2018 Insomniac video game, and some of the newer heroes from the "Spider-Man" comic books like Sun-Spider. The franchise's producers, Lord and Miller, told Collider in 2023 that the next movie will feature even more cameos. Miller said they had "saved several" Spider-People in line for the third movie. It's not clear who, but we are yet to see fan-favorite heroes such as Silk, Superior Spider-Man, and Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Read the original article on Business Insider
