Amazon Live Action Spider-Man Noir

*Autbot_Benz* · 02-09-2023, 12:39 PM

A Spider-Man Noir live-action series is in the works at Amazon, Variety has learned exclusively.

The untitled series will follow an older, grizzled superhero in 1930s New York City. An individual with knowledge of the project says that the show will be set in its own universe and the main character will not be Peter Parker.

This is the second known project based on the Sony-controlled Marvel characters at Amazon Prime Video and MGM+. It was previously announced that Amazon was moving forward with the series “Silk: Spider Society” from showrunner Angela Kang, with several other shows in the works. It is unknown at this time which other Marvel characters will be featured in the other Amazon shows, though Sony currently controls over 900 such characters associated with the Spider-Man franchise.

Oren Uziel will serve as writer and executive producer on the Spider-Man Noir show. Uziel developed the show along with “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and former Sony boss Amy Pascal, who all executive produce. Pascal executive produces via Pascal Pictures. Sony Pictures Television is the studio, with Lord and Miller currently under an overall deal there.

Uziel most recently worked on the screenplay for the romantic comedy feature “The Lost City” starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. His other writing credits include “22 Jump Street,” the 2021 “Mortal Kombat” film, and “The Cloverfield Paradox.” He has also worked on the scripts for upcoming films like “John Wick 4” and “Borderlands,” based on the video game of the same name.

He is repped by Curate and Myman Greenspan.

The Spider-Man Noir comics originally debuted in 2009 as part of the Marvel Noir universe. That version of the iconic superhero lives in New York during the Great Depression. He is bitten by a spider hidden inside a stolen artifact, causing him to have visions of a spider-god who grants him superpowers. The character has previously appeared onscreen in the animated series “Ultimate Spider-Man” with Milo Ventimiglia providing his voice, while Nicolas Cage voiced the character in “Into the Spider-Verse.” The Amazon show will be the first live-action iteration of Spider-Man Noir.

Sony has released multiple Spider-Man live-action films in the past and currently works with Marvel Studios on the rebooted film franchise starring Tom Holland via Columbia Pictures. Sony is also behind “Into the Spider-Verse,” which won the Academy Award for best animated film in 2019. Two sequels to that film are currently in the works, with the first — “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” — due out in theaters in June 2023.

To date, Sony has also released the live-action films “Venom” and its sequel “Let There Be Carnage” starring Tom Hardy, as well as “Morbius” starring Jared Leto. A third “Venom” film is currently in development, while Sony is also at work on film versions of characters like “Kraven the Hunter” starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and “Madame Web” starring Dakota Johnson, among several others.

Yet another "Sony doing some f***ing weird sh** with the Spider-Man IP that nobody wants."

Their agreement with Disney really must be binding their hands with what they can do independently with Spider-Man while it's in play. Like, this is the best they can do for a Spider-Man live action show? Some crap in the 1930s? Give me a break.

That PS3 Spider-Man game where you played as Spidey, Noir and 2099 did real justice to that as an iteration of Spider-Man. And I suppose it could be a movie, but this seems like something that Sony should've led with a long time ago.

Now anything they do just feels like they are tugging at strings to use their license. None of it is brilliant, except for "No Way Home" which is really hard to tell where the MCU stops and the "Sony" begins anyway....

When I first saw this thread I thought "Oh wow, a Spider-Man TV show!?", then I saw it was based on Noir and I was like "Oh... Really?".

I'm not going to dismiss this idea out of hand, it does (technically) have a chance of being good, I'm just not too stoked on the idea that it's not Spider-Man "proper" so to speak. I mean the mainline Spider-Man comics are pretty much a soap opera with a superhuman protagonist, Spider-Man should fit into the format of Live-Action TV quite well... Failed experiments from the 70's not withstanding of course...

Seriously, is there some stipulation with Disney that states Sony can't do live-action Spider-Man that could compete with MCU Spider-Man for the public perception as "the" live-action Spider-Man?

Sounds more interesting then movies based on most of his villains.

I guess 2099 is too expensive.

You know what I want to see? A film about Venom, Deadpool, and Garfield Spider-Man working together as a team. They would be more entertaining than the Avengers.

While the story concept doesn’t excite me, the charisma you’d get from the cast would be enough to excite me. That sounds fun.

Take it with some salt for now, but Nicolas Cage is rumoured to be “in serious talks to take on the lead role on the series.”

This show should be an easy home run. I think people will want to see this despite not knowing they did.
