It's been confirmed today that Amazon's upcoming live-action Spider-Man TV series, Spider-Noir, has added eight recurring cast members. 

Those are 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 ItBarry), Whitney Rice (Jury Duty, Suits), and Amanda Schull (Suits, 12 Monkeys).

Unfortunately, specific character details are being kept under wraps so we don't currently know who any of them are playing. Nicolas Cage leads the cast, though it's thought he's playing Ben Reilly rather than Peter Parker. 

Other lead stars include New Girl star Lamorne Morris (as Robbie Robertson), Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, Paddington 2), Abraham Popoola (Atlas, The Rig), Li Jun Li (Babylon, Sex/Life) and Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire, Ben-Hur).

Here's a look at each new Spider-Noir cast member; place your bets now about who from the comics they might be playing!

Spider-Noir will premiere on the MGM+ linear channel in the U.S. and globally on Prime Video. 

Oren Uziel (Mortal Kombat) and Steve Lightfoot (The Punisher) are co-showrunners, while Harry Bradbeer is set to direct, and executive produce the first two episodes of the series.

In terms of plot details, it's been revealed that the series tells the story "of an ageing 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."

Few other official details about Spider-Noir have been revealed, though Cage has confirmed it was run for 8 episodes and pit the wall-crawling P.I. against monsters. 

Asked about his first proper foray into television, Cage said, "I saw Bryan Cranston in 'Breaking Bad' stare at a suitcase for half the episode. I thought, 'We don’t have time to do that in movies.' So that to me seemed like an opportunity to open it up a little. I don’t know if the project [Noir] that I’m exploring has room for that. I think this is a much more sort of popcorn-entertainment episodic."

The actor would go on to describe Spider-Noir as "more of a Pop-art mashup, like a Lichtenstein painting" with "some sparkle to it."

"I don’t like violence," Cage added. "I don’t want to play people who are hurting people. One of the things that I like about this potential show is that it’s fantasy. It’s not really people beating people up. Monsters are involved."

Isn’t Ben a clone of Peter Parker? Not that it matters I guess. This doesn’t seem to be tied to anything I guess

Man, Mindhunters is such an underrated show and it's a shame it got cancelled after 2 seasons on Netflix.

@lazlodaytona -

It was indeed great. Somehow, they said it was the costliest show on Netflix, so they cancelled it.

Ridiculous.

@lazlodaytona - Truly fantastic and Cameron Britton did an incredible job. Seeing him here moderately increased my interested in this

@DocSpock - Really? How? No special effects or big-name actors.
It could have been because it was set in the 70s so all the props, vehicles, clothes, ect could have contributed to the high cost. But, I can't see that being the main reason.

@ItsNotForMeWahh - agreed completely

@lazlodaytona -

They said that was the single and only reason. That made zero sense to me. It had excellent viewership numbers too.

Studio execs could screw up anything.

Man, that's a great cast. Though I hear Joe Massingill is kind of a douche . . .

This could be somewhat great or the worst thing ever. I am going to commit to watching it and see what happens.

Strange... My parents always said that about me.

That’s a nice cast , including the ones that were hired previously…

The show seems like a loose adaptation of the comic anyway so it may or may have characters directly from the runs we have had with the character thus far but we’ll see.

I do have a feeling given that Sandman was included in the character descriptions for some in the show that Cameron Britton might be playing him but that’s just speculation on my part.

Anyway , easily the Sony-Marvel project thus far I’m most interested in..

I’m down for a period noir PI show with a superhero touch to it!!.

I don’t think I realized until today that this is an Amazon show. Is Sony producing this and Amazon is the platform it will be on or is this being created by Amazon? I had always assumed this was a Sony thing.

TheVisionary25 - 9/18/2024, 5:19 PM
@RolandD - the former

@RolandD - I like Amazon shows more often than I like Sony movies

@TheVisionary25 - Thanks. I thought so. I never really thought about what platform it would be on assuming quite foolishly that it might be on Disney+.😂 Maybe someday
RolandD
RolandD - 9/18/2024, 10:47 PM
@ItsNotForMeWahh - Of the former, i have seen none and the only Sony pictures I have seen in recent years are done by Marvel. Okay, i take that back. I have seen the Spider-verse movies and they of course, are quite good.

What do you recommend on Amazon?

Going by more of the character descriptions aswell…

I can see Michael Kostroff playing Mayor Delgado while either Whitney Rice or Amanda Schull are Janet…

Lastly I think Lukas Haas will be playing Ben’s friend who is another P.I.

Mayor Delgado: A corrupt politician whose motivations and past are entirely unknown. The character exists as a setup for future episodes, likely as the main villain.

Janet: Ben Reilly’s secretary/second-in-command. Think Joan from Mad Men.

Delgado: Another PI that has a good working relationship with Ben Reilly.
