Amazon Developing Live-Action Spider-Man Noir Series

Amazon has announced that they will be developing a live-action Spider-Man Noir series for Prime Video. Variety reports that the upcoming untitled series will be set in 1930s New York during the Great Depression while focusing on an older, experienced Spider-Man Noir.

The report also confirmed that this series will exist within its own universe and will not feature our original webhead, Peter Parker. Prime Video previously announced other Marvel-based projects that were in development alongside Sony with Silk: Spider Society already in the works as well which has The Walking Dead‘s Angela Kang as showrunner.

Spider-Man Noir will be written by Oren Uziel who is also attached to executive produce alongside Phil Lord and Christopher Miller who put Spider-Man Noir in the limelight when he was featured in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse where he was voiced by Nicolas Cage. Amy Pascal also joins the party as executive producer.

Spider-Man Noir is one of the newer Marvel characters having debuted in 2009. He was part of the Marvel Noir universe and was featured in the Great Depression-era NYC where he received his arachnid-like abilities after being bitten by a spider that was inside a hidden artifact. After experiencing the visions of a spider god and receiving his abilities, he became the hero we know and love today.

Sony is spinning many webs within the Spider-Man universe as they already previously introduced us to Tom Hardy‘s Venom, Jared Leto‘s Morbius, and the upcoming live-action adaptation of Kraven the Hunter which will star Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Madame Web which will star Dakota Johnson.

This could be a real unique treat for Spider-Man fans. My fingers are crossed for a Sin City treatment to this series that features the black-and-white universe of Spider-Man Noir with a deep detective-focused story that has been a home for many of Noir’s stories. We can only wait to find out more about Spider-Man Noir‘s live-action debut.
