LOS ANGELES \u2014 Prime Video\u2019s \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d has landed on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
The series is set in a stand-alone universe, not a spin-off of the 2018 \u201cSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse\u201d film, in which Nicolas Cage voices Spider-Noir. It\u2019s also not directly tied to any Sony or Marvel films.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpider-Noir\u201d is the story of Ben Reilly (Cage), a seasoned, down on his luck private investigator during 1930s New York. He is forced to grapple with his past life following a deeply personal tragedy as the city\u2019s only superhero.<\/p>\n
Who is The Spider?<\/h2>\n
Lamorne Morris, who plays Robbie Robertson, told Spectrum News he\u2019s lazy and a drunk.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is human. When we see superheroes, we tend not to focus on the human element,\u201d said Morris. \u201cI think the best ones are when you can really see their real vulnerabilities and the things they battle with\u2026 even their demons. When you meet him [Spider], you see him immediately battling demons. And that is an honest look at what a person would go through if they were a superhero.\u201d<\/p>\n

How did Nicolas Cage come to play Ben Reilly?<\/h2>\n
\u201cSpider-Noir\u201d creator Oren Uziel told Spectrum News that early in the process of creating the show, he knew Cage would be his man. Uziel said he remembers asking if it would be okay to age up the character not only because he couldn\u2019t relate to high schoolers anymore but also because that version of Spider-Man had already been done.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce everyone was onboard with that [and] because Nic had already done the voice, we knew he was familiar with the character, and I sat down with him pretty quickly. He loves comic books, but he has an encyclopedic knowledge of Noir. We really hit it off, and it was off to the races right away,\u201d said Uziel.<\/p>\n
Where is \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d going to fall in the universe of all other Spider-Man iterations?<\/h2>\n
Jack Huston, who plays Sandman, said \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d is the top\u2026 the best.<\/p>\n
Abraham Popoola said \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d is incredibly distinct.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so distinct,\u201d he told Spectrum News. \u201cI think every department across the board \u2026 first of all, the scripts are incredible. The backing, you know, the vision from the producers and the execs, costumes, set designs, cinematography, and of course, we [the cast] come and bring our own little part of the puzzle piece. People really bring in everything to something and having a shared vision of something that hasn\u2019t existed before\u2026 I think it\u2019s [\u2018Spider Noir\u2019] is really up there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recreating 1930s New York in Southern California<\/h2>\n
For Uziel, it\u2019s always great to shoot in Los Angeles and work with an LA crew.<\/p>\n
\u201cLA has a lot of great, beautiful Art Deco architecture,\u201d he said. \u201cBroadway downtown really feels like Broadway in New York. We were able to take advantage of a lot of things that are in LA and shoot and recreate New York in the 30s. You also get to shoot in the studio back lots, and you are shooting the same places that a lot of these movies were made back in the day. Shooting at Universal\u2026 shooting at Warner Brothers, it\u2019s sort of incredibly romantic to me to be able to sort of make something that can enter film history where film history was made.\u201d<\/p>\n
