Amazon’s Spider-Noir series has cast several new actors to star alongside Nicolas Cage in the live-action Spider-Man spin-off.
Per Deadline, the new cast include Lukas Haas (The Righteous Gemstones), Cameron Britton (The Umbrella Academy), Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives), Michael Kostroff (The Wire), Scott MacArthur (Killing It), Joe Massingill (Killing It), Whitney Rice (Jury Duty) and Amanda Schull (Suits).
They join a cast that includes Cage, Lamorne Morris (New Girl), Brendan Gleeson (Banshees of Inisherin), Abraham Popoola (Atlas), Li Jun Li (Wu Assassins) and Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire).
Spider-Noir will follow Cage as “an aging and down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”
Cage previously voiced Spider-Noir in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse as one of the alternate versions of Peter Parker, though his role in Spider-Noir will presumably be a different version than the one seen in the Spider-Verse films.
Spider-Noir has been created by Oren Uziel (Mortal Kombat) and Steven Lightfoot (The Punisher) and will air on MGM+ in the United States and on Prime Video internationally. Harry Bradbeer will direct the first two episodes of the series and executive produce along Uziel and Lightfoot. Also executive producing are Spider-Verse‘s Phil Lord and Christopher Miller with Amy Pascal.
