Sony?s ?Spider-Noir? TV series with Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage will appear in ​his first leading role in a TV series when “Spider-Noir” premieres in May, ​according to Sony and Prime Video.



The series is a reinterpretation ⁠of the superhero Spider-Man set in New York City during the Great Depression, and will premiere on May 27.



In the teaser trailer released Thursday, Cage is seen using his web-slinging skills while playing Ben Reilly, a private investigator who confronts his past after a personal tragedy.



Other cast members include Lamorne Morris from the show "New Girl" and Li Jun Li from the Oscar-nominated film "Sinners."



Viewers will be able to watch "Spider-Noir” in two ways, iin “authentic black &; white” and “true hue full color” depending on their preference.



Sony previously introduced an animated iteration of the Spider-Noir character, which Cage provided the voice for, in the 2018 Oscar-winning film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," which explores numerous Spider-people from different universes.



“Spider-Noir” is the first live-action series from the Spider-Verse and gives Amazon its own piece of the Marvel pie.
