In Spider-Man: Noir #1 (February 2009), a new version of Marvel's mascot superhero was introduced as part of an alternate universe set of comics called Marvel Noir. Marvel Noir reinterpreted Marvel's classic heroes and villains in a film noir style set in the 1930s. This version of Peter Parker didn't wear a colorful costume, and was more brutal in his dealing with criminals, even willing to kill, something his mainstream counterpart would never do.
This version of Spider-Man would become quite popular, thanks to appearing in the Spider-Verse event comics, the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, and the animated film Into the Spider-Verse, where he was voiced by Nicholas Cage, modeling his voice work on 1930s-era actors James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Now, Cage is set to play the role in live action in the upcoming series Spider-Noir. In this series, this noir-based Spider-Man is private investigator Ben Reilly. Let's look at the trailer!
"Yeah, but I love it when you tell that story."
These scenes seem to imply that Ben got his powers from some kind of experiment. Maybe during World War I? This version of Ben is likely old enough to have served in that war.
There was that one time Ben lost control. It involved the horses, six gallons of ice cream, a stick of deodorant, and the fedora shipment. People don't like talking about it, and Ben is not allowed to ever step foot in Osaka ever again.
To be fair, those guys were asking for it. They made fun of his mom.
Ben is a lightweight. One sip, and he's a human tornado of punches.
Oh boy, a wannabe Jim Hammond.
WEEEEEEEEEEE!
I love that there's the option to watch in black-and-white and color, but I think the black-and-white will be the better experience. Would fit the era rather well.
Well, this looks rather enjoyable. I liked Cage in the first Spider-Verse animated film, and I am curious as to how he'll tackle the character in live-action, even if they're not quite the same. I think this is a great example of how superheroes can blend into other genres. I think I'll have a good time watching this. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other! See you next time!
