What to expect from Spider-Noir?

Despite Cage previously voicing Spider-Noir in the Spider-Verse movies, the live-action series is largely unrelated to the animated franchise.
In the series, Cage plays Ben Reilly, a down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York City. Years after a personal tragedy, he is forced to reassume his superhero persona, “The Spider,” after he is handed an unusual case.

In an interview with Esquire, showrunner Oren Uziel teased that Reilly’s past will keep coming back to haunt him through his connection with the villainous mob boss, Silvermane.
“Silvermane is the big bad, but what's happening to Silvermane connects back to Ben's past and gets him spiraling deeper and deeper into his own origins," he said.
Iconic Spider-Man rogues such as Tombstone and Sandman will also appear in the series.
Spider-Noir will stream on Prime Video.
