On Tuesday, Prime Video released two sets of images from its upcoming Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios’ Spider-Noir series. in what its PR flaks call “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color.” Viewers will be able to choose which version they want to watch.
Spider-Noir, per the series’ official logline, “tells the story of Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a seasoned, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city’s one and only superhero.” Reilly is a Spider-Man variant, first seen and voiced by Cage in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which was created by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who serve as executive producers on Spider-Noir.
Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot will both be showrunners on the series, which also stars Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Jack Huston, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Poopola, and Karen Rodriguez. Morris plays Daily Bugle reporter Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li stars as starlet Cat Hardy, and Karen Rodriguez is Reilly’s secretary, Janet.
