“Spider-Noir” should be on your watch list. The forthcoming live-action streaming series — inspired by the “Spider-Man Noir” comics – centers on Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a weary private detective in 1930s New York who coincidentally is his dimension’s Spider-Man. After forfeiting his role years ago, Reilly must wear the mask again when his past confronts him.
The newest trailer indicates that the vibe of “Spider-Noir” will be quite distinct from what we’ve witnessed from Marvel lately. This is a gritty noir, brimming with shadowy streets and unsavory figures — simply set in a universe populated with superpowered beings. We catch a glimpse of several adversaries Reilly will combat, including Megawatt (Andrew Caldwell), Sandman (Jack Huston), Tombstone (Abraham Popoola), and the Irish crime lord Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson).
Although Ben Reilly may not be an Avenger, he does have allies on his team. They include Lamorne Morris as freelance reporter Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li as nightclub vocalist Cat Hardy (aka Black Cat), and Karen Rodriguez as Reilly’s assistant, Janet. Given the caliber of his enemies in this trailer, he’ll require all the support he can muster.
