We have another piece of casting news for Sony and Amazon’s upcoming Spider-Noir series. Per Variety, Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) will star alongside Nicolas Cage in the upcoming series.
Gleeson also stars with Lamorne Morris (New Girl), who was just cast yesterday as one of the Daily Bugle’s editors Robbie Robertson. There is no word on who Gleeson will portray, but he will reportedly be the villain Cage’s Spider-Man Noir will face off against.
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.
