The live-action series Spider-Man Noir has officially begun filming, and the first images of Nicolas Cage on set have already sparked great excitement among fans. This new project, brought to us by Prime Video, presents a version of the iconic Marvel superhero set in the 1930s, during the Great Depression in the United States, following a dark and detective-like aesthetic in the style of classic noir cinema.

Now, Cage makes the leap to live action to portray this dark and shrewd Spider-Man, which has further raised expectations about a series that no one quite knows where it will lead.
A Peter Parker tired of life
In the first images that have leaked from the filming set, we can see Cage characterized as this aged version of Peter Parker, although not in the classic spider suit. Dressed in a long coat, the actor exudes the charisma typical of noir novel detectives, a style that Cage himself has confirmed as an inspiration for the character’s tone. However, it seems that not everything went well on his “first day,” as in the photos he is seen on the ground and visibly in pain, which suggests that the action will not be without challenges for this Spider-Man.
