Get a sneak peek at the characters in the upcoming Prime Video series, Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage in his first leading television role. The streamer has released several first-look photos of Cage's Ben Reilly (aka The Spider), Robbie Robertson, played by Lamorne Norris, Cat Hardy, portrayed by Li Jun Li, and Janet, played by Karen Rodriguez. You can view the photos above and below.
Spider-Noir is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. It tells the story of Ben Reilly (Cage), a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to confront his past after a personal tragedy, all while becoming the city's only superhero.
In the past, Cage's Ben Reilly was the superhero known as "The Spider". After a personal tragedy, he stepped away from his heroic alter ego. Only an extraordinary case could call this down-on-his-luck private investigator to drop the ordinary man act and put his mask back on.
Norris' Robbie Robertson is a dedicated journalist trying to make it in 1930s New York with the odds stacked against him. He is willing to do whatever is necessary for his career as well as his best friend, Ben.
Li's Cat Hardy is the star attraction at the premiere nightclub in New York. While it may seem like she is always looking out for herself, the truth is more complex than meets the eye.
Rodriguez's Janet Smart is the scrappy and loyal secretary to Ben Reilly. She wants to help her boss and his small business become successful, and she has no problem speaking truth to power.
The cast also includes Abraham Popoola (Atlas, Slow Horses), Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire, Day of The Fight), and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, Harry Potter). Guest stars include Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Caldwell, Amy Aquino, Andrew Robinson, and Kai Caster.
Spider-Noir is produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video. Emmy-winning director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) directed and executive produced the first two episodes. Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel's The Punisher, Shantaram) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.
Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series with the Oscar-winning team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. Lord and Miller executive produce for their shingle Lord Miller along with Aditya Sood and Dan Shear. Amy Pascal also serves as an executive producer via Pascal Pictures. Cage and Pavlina Hatoupis also serve as executive producers.
Spider-Noir will premiere worldwide this spring. It will debut domestically on MGM+'s linear broadcast channel, then globally on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories thereafter.
