"Spider-Noir, the pulpy detective reimagining of Spider-Man starring Nicolas Cage, has received its first teaser trailer, which you can watch below - in both black and white and color. Premiering on Prime Video on May 27th, the Spider-Noir series sort of kind of spins off Cage's voice role as Spider-Man Noir in the animated Spider-Verse film franchise. However, he's not playing the same grizzled Peter Parker here;"
"Spider-Noir will find Cage's Reilly digging out The Spider digs as a gangland boss named Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson) is targeted for assassination. An arsonist who torched Silvermane's mansion turns out to be a super-powered man who can create fire from his hands. Reilly's investigation puts him in the path of hired heavyweight Flint Marko (Boardwalk Empire actor Jack Huston), and sees him teaming up with dogged, optimistic journalist Robbie Robinson ( New Girl and Fargo's Lamorne Morris)"
"The Reilly character, as comic fans know, is a clone of Parker introduced in the '70s who eventually took on the costumed name Scarlet Spider. Noting that the Parker identity was too "boyish" to play in Spider-Noir, co-showrunner Oren Uziel and producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller told the switch to Reilly will be explained, but they "have to be coy about the reasons, because you'll find out.""
The series centers on Ben Reilly, a retired crimefighter who now works as a down-on-his-luck private investigator. The central case involves gangland boss Silvermane being targeted for assassination and an arsonist who can create fire from his hands. Reilly's investigation leads him into conflict with hired heavyweight Flint Marko and into partnership with dogged journalist Robbie Robinson and loyal secretary Janet. The series leverages Nicolas Cage's connection to Spider-Man Noir while focusing on Reilly, a Parker clone who later became Scarlet Spider. The teaser trailer is available in both black-and-white and color. Premiere is scheduled for May 27 on Prime Video.
