As Sony prepares it’s Spider-Man TV series Spider-Noir, renamed after previously going under the title Noir, a new addition has been made to stat alongside Nicolas Cage in the series. Lamorne Morris (New Girl) will star as Robbie Robertston, often seen as the Daily Bugle’s editor-in-chief.
Spider-Noir will follows 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.
Morris’ Robbie Robertson is described as “driven, hard-working, and won’t take no for an answer. A dedicated journalist trying to make it with the odds stacked against him as a black professional in 1930s New York, he takes on riskier stories that no one else would touch in order to catch attention and a paycheck. He is willing to do whatever is necessary for his career.”
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.
