After voicing the fan-favorite, black-and-white Spider-Man Noir in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” Nicolas Cage is suiting up as the hero in the first look at Prime Video’s live-action series “Spider-Noir.”
Cage is dressed in Spider-Man Noir’s iconic costume in the black-and-white first look photo, which Prime Video released Monday during its upfronts presentation. He’s wearing the same fedora, white goggles, black webbed mask and trench coat that his “Spider-Verse” counterpart wears. Though the series shares the character with “Into the Spider-Verse,” it’s based on the “Spider-Man Noir” comic books.
