"The peacock spider is a tiny Australian arachnid whose bristles are mostly shades of gray, but it can also flash a vibrant spectrum of colors to make itself more attractive. The new web-slinging detective series Spider-Noir has the same ability. The Nicolas Cage-starring TV show, which will stream this spring on Prime Video, will be presented in both black and white that mimics the monochromatic look of 1940s crime classics."
"But it also will be shown in a version that looks more like the colorful panels of the Marvel Comics that serve as its inspiration. For this exclusive first look at the show, Esquire is also displaying both formats at once. In this story, we display the full-color version, and speak to showrunner and producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller about all the different ways they've taken Spider-Man's Marvel Universe and refurbished it as a 1930s detective tale."
Spider-Noir reimagines Spider-Man's universe as a 1930s detective tale starring Nicolas Cage and will stream on Prime Video this spring. The series will be offered in two formats: a monochrome presentation evoking 1940s crime films and a saturated color version inspired by Marvel Comics panels. Both formats were created so viewers can choose their preference. Showrunners Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and co-showrunner Uziel aimed for a relic-like aesthetic, with the color version appearing like a colorized black-and-white film. Cage described both versions as beautiful for different reasons and suggested the options could inspire interest in earlier films.
