“Spider-Man Noir” may soon find a home on Amazon Prime with the latest take on the webslinger in development for a new TV series…
A new Spider-Man live action series is in development at Amazon.
“Spider-Man Noir” — a character many fans of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” will remember being voiced by Nicolas Cage — is currently being developed into a live action series at Amazon Prime.
The original comic book version of the character debuted in 2009 and it featured a different version of Peter Parker during the Great Depression after he is bitten by what seems to be a highly-venomous spider housed inside a spider-god idol. Falling unconscious, Parker has a vision of the spider-god promising him power. He then awakes inside a cocoon and emerges from it, now possessing super-human abilities similar to a spider.
The updated “Spider-Man Noir” for Amazon will feature an older, grizzled superhero set in the 1930s in New York City. It’s not believed that the character will be based on Peter Parker but instead a new identity. The series is expected to take place in its own separate universe unrelated to any other “Spider-Man” project currently in development or already taking place.
Oren Uziel is set to serve as the writer and executive producer for the “Spider-Man Noir” series after he previously worked on films such as “The Lost City,” starring Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock, as well as “22 Jumpstreet,” the most recent “Mortal Kombat” movie and the upcoming “John Wick 4” sequel.
Uziel reportedly developed the series alongside “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who were also instrumental in introducing “Spider-Man Noir” into the Oscar winning animated film from 2018.
This is the second “Spider-Man” related series in the works at Amazon alongside “Silk: Spider Society,” which is being developed by Angela Kang, who is best known for her work as a writer and eventual showrunner for “The Walking Dead.”
Sony will produce the project like all of the other “Spider-Man” related films, TV series and animation project with the studio owning the rights to over 900 characters tied to the famed webslinger.
