Nicolas Cage Stars in Spider-Noir Series

Nicolas Cage is set to star as Ben Reilly in the upcoming Spider-Noir series, which will be available on MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video in 2025. The show follows Reilly, a private investigator in 1930s New York, as he grapples with his past life as a superhero while investigating a corruption case involving the Mayor and crime boss Silvermane. Cage, who previously voiced Spider-Man Noir in 2018's Into the Spider-Verse, has embraced a vintage look for his role, donning a forest green overcoat and fedora while filming scenes that reflect the noir genre's aesthetics. The series is co-showrun by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, with Harry Bradbeer directing the first episodes, and features a supporting cast that includes Lamorne Morris and Brendan Gleeson. This project marks Cage's first regular role in a television series, adding to his eclectic career in film. The character's development and the show's unique take on the Spider-Man universe have generated significant anticipation among fans.
