Prime Video And MGM+’s live-action Spider-Noir series has added eight new recurring cast members. According to Variety, Lukas Haas (Babylon, Inception), Cameron Britton (Mindhunters, A Man Called Otto), Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives, Fuller House), Michael Kostroff (The Wire, Wizard of Lies), Scott MacArthur (El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, The Mick), Joe Massingill (Killing It, Barry), Whitney Rice (Jury Duty, Suits) and Amanda Schull (Suits, 12 Monkeys) will all be starring alongside series lead Nicolas Cage (Longlegs, Ghost Rider). Details about their characters are currently under wraps.
According to Variety, the official logline says the show “tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”
Spider-Noir is a character who originates from a 2009 line of Marvel Comics set in an alternate universe where various Marvel superheroes exist during the Great Depression era. Cage has already played the character once before in Sony Pictures Animation’s hit 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where Spider-Noir served as a supporting character.
Other confirmed members of Spider-Noir‘s cast include Emmy award winners Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo) and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges), as well as Li Jun Li (Babylon, Wu Assassins) and Jack Huston (Ben-Hur, Mayfair Witches).
Oren Uziel (Shimmer Lake, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth) and Steve Lightfoot (Shantaram, The Punisher) have signed on as co-showrunners and executive producers. The Into the Spider-Verse team, Phil Lord (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street), Christopher Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Mitchells vs. the Machines) and Amy Pascal (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Little Women) will also executive produce. Harry Bradbeer (Enola Holmes, The Brides in the Bath) will executive produce and direct the first two episodes. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television, Lord Miller Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios.
No release date has been announced for Spider-Noir, but the series will be debuting domestically on MGM+’s linear channel and later globally on Amazon Prime Video.
