In Spider-Noir, Cage stars as Spider-Man Noir, “an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.” Cage voiced the same character in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Now, Cage will become the first actor to play Spider-Man Noir in a live-action TV series.

Besides Cage, Spider-Noir stars Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Li Jun Li, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Karen Rodriguez. Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, and Amanda Schull have been cast in recurring roles.

In a recent interview, Cage, who considered himself a nonviolent person, is OK with fighting crime in Spider-Noir because it’s “fantasy.”

“I don’t like violence. I don’t want to play people who are hurting people,” Cage said about Spider-Noir. “One of the things that I like about this potential show is that it’s fantasy. It’s not really people beating people up. Monsters are involved.”

Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot are developing Spider-Noir for MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the tandem behind Sony’s Spider-Verse franchise, are attached as producers alongside Amy Pascal. Harry Bradbeer will executive produce and direct the first two episodes.

Spider-Noir will premiere domestically on MGM+ before streaming globally on Prime Video.

Kevin Feige reveals when Miles Morales’ Spider-Man could make his MCU debut

Miles shooting his webs in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."

Comic book fans have been wondering for years when Miles Morales might make his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming encouraged those questions by not only marking the beginning of Sony Pictures' ongoing partnership with Marvel Studios, but also by briefly featuring Miles' canonical uncle, Aaron Davis (Donald Glover), who mentions he has a nephew he'd like to look out for in the film.

Marvel hasn't done much since then to set up a potential role for Miles in the MCU, but his popularity as a character has grown exponentially thanks to his leading role in Insomniac Games' Spider-Man video games, as well as the immensely successful animated films Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Now, after at least seven years of waiting, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has given fans a vague idea of when Miles might make his MCU debut.

Nicolas Cage has a fan in Quentin Tarantino.

Speaking on the Video Archives Podcast, Tarantino spent a segment showering Cage with praise -- and spotlighting one specific movie as his most recent favorite.
“In watching some of the Nic Cage stuff, the one that blew me away was that movie he did, Pig," Tarantino said. "That’s one of the best of the last five years. That’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in the last five years.”
Directed by Michael Sarnoski, Pig stars Cage as Robin "Rob" Feld, an Oregon truffle hunter who returns to Portland to search for the person who kidnapped his pig. Pig garnered significant critical acclaim, and Cage received several acting nominations from critics organizations. Tarantino appreciates Pig's creative direction and how it diverged from Cage's previous work.
