Marvel Rumor: Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Man Noir Not Playing Peter Parker

If this report proves accurate, audiences might witness a significant shift in the Spider-Man franchise. Until now, live-action Spider-Man films have exclusively focused on Peter Parker, even though Miles Morales exists off-screen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will be fascinating to observe how the “Noir” series addresses this transition while staying true to the Ben Reilly mythology. Incorporating Reilly’s clone origins could be narratively challenging, but it would offer an intriguing twist, especially with so many Peter Parkers already in the mix.

Only time will tell if this happens, but it’s safe to say that “Spider-Man Noir” is shaping up to be something unique. The series has the backing of veteran creatives Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot. Uziel co-wrote “22 Jump Street,” while Lightfoot has notable credits like “The Punisher” and the cult favorite “Hannibal.” Harry Bradbeer, known for his work on “Fleabag,” is set to direct the first two episodes.

No release date has been announced yet for the project, but production is expected to ramp up soon. Nicolas Cage, who has recently appeared in Neon’s “Longlegs,” has shown considerable interest in stepping away from movies to pursue other creative ventures. Despite the talented individuals involved, details about the 1930s-set series and its place within Sony’s broader Spider-Man universe remain sparse.
