Live-Action Spider-Man Noir Series Coming To Amazon

[JayC]

According to Variety there is A Spider-Man Noir live-action series is in the works at Amazon.

The series will be based in the 1930's and take place in it's own Universe and not be based on Peter Parker. This would be the second Spider-Man based series from Sony coming to Amazon, as there have been reports of a Silk: Spider Society” series in the works from showrunner Angela Kang.

This sounds like it could be interesting, but I don't trust Sony whatsoever to do anything good with it. They've completely lost the benefit of the doubt. If they're in charge of creative instead of Marvel Studios, it never seems to end well.

[leokearon]

I'll believe it when I see it

[Atlantis]

Hmmmm....sounds interesting. I love the 30s pulp hero era, and Marvel's own stab at it (Mystery Men, you should really check it out this comic) was exceptionally well done. Not sure if Spider-Man Noir can reach that level but I'd be interested to see how they do. However Sony's track record has been an overall rushed, confused, inept understanding of the source material. We'll see...

We need to stop supporting Sony Spider stuff. Even ironically. The views hatewatching something still count toward its success.

Are you telling me the lack of traction on Jackpot, Nightwatch, Madame Web, The Sinister Six, Black Cat, Silver Sable, Black Cat and Silver Sable, Kraven the Hunter and El Muerto have given you cause to doubt Sony's sincere commitment to producing top quality content?  How jaded one must be.

I'm a little confused as to whether this means that it's not going to be Noirverse Peter Parker but someone else or if they just mean it won't be the Peter Parker with whom most people are familiar. Knowing Sony, It could easily be the former.

Sure whatever, I will reserve my judgment, but I almost don't even believe this will happen, I don't believe 90% of the things Sony is "releasing" will actually happen, they scrap things as fast as they plan them, but this might be one of better sounding ideas Sony has had, at least this can make sense as to why it has no MCU connection being it's in another universe in 1930's

if this actually makes it to a screen, I'm going to be mad if it's not in Black & White, at least give us that gimmick.

The comics aren't in black and white.

Oh no I know they are not, I just think it would be a cool gimmick if the show was, and looked like Sin City.

Exactly, nothing better than some good old eyepatched content...

[Ironspider428]

Honestly, I'm not mad about this one, even with it not being Peter, given Noirverse Peter is different than 616 Peter anyway. This is the direction I'd be ok with Sony going, give us alternate Spider-Man movies and shows, there are countless Spider-Verse characters to choose from, hell give us a Spider-Ham movie. Just for the love of god stop doing movies about Spider-Man villains without Spider-Man in them. 

[tarot]

I would love to see a Live Action Noir series.................just not from Sony. It may have worked better as a D+ series.

This sounds like they're milking a pretty dry cow here.  I don't think Spider-Man Noir has very much recognition in any media at all. 

Spider-Man, sure, has loads of consumer recog  himself, but Noir--I think he's a much harder sell.   It's like trying to tell us that Halle Berry was Catwoman--and THAT kinda fizzled....

Also people watching Into the Spider-verse would expect it

[McHogan]

This falls right into line with all the other dubious Spider-Man adjacent projects Sony has announced.  Take a character with close ties to Spidey, then remove all elements  of Spidey and ask fans to be excited by the news .

Eh..... no thanks

Steve Lightfoot has been brought on board as co-showrunner for the upcoming live-action series based on Spider-Man Noir at Amazon, according to exclusive information obtained by Variety. Joining him as co-showrunner and executive producer is Oren Uziel, who is also the writer for the project.

Set in 1930s New York City, the untitled series will revolve around an older and more experienced superhero. It is worth noting that this show will have its unique universe and will not feature Peter Parker as the main character, as confirmed by a source familiar with the project.

Lightfoot has previous experience in the Marvel world, having worked on the "The Punisher" Netflix series as a showrunner. This series, starring Jon Bernthal, had a successful run of two seasons before Disney decided to bring all Marvel content onto their streaming platforms.

The Spider-Man Noir show is another project based on Marvel characters that is being developed at Amazon, which is controlled by Sony. Amazon has already announced the series "Silk: Spider Society" from showrunner Angela Kang, and there are several other Marvel shows in the pipeline. It is currently unknown which other Marvel characters will be featured in these Amazon shows, but Sony has control over more than 900 characters associated with the Spider-Man franchise.

Uziel, along with producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller from "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," and former Sony boss Amy Pascal, have developed the show and serve as executive producers. Pascal is executive producing through Pascal Pictures, while Sony Pictures Television is the studio behind the project. Lord and Miller are currently under an overall deal with Sony.

Sounds like it may be a project similar to the shows set in The Batman universe that were going to focus on Penguin and the Gotham City PD. I think it would be cool if Peter Parker did show up in this show and they can get Nick Cage to play him.

indeed yet no 616 Jessica Drew Spider-woman movie or TV show

I think people would be more interested in Spider-Gwen from the Spider-verse

[Lord_Scareglow]

Oh they are still doing this, I woulda just thought they scrapped it like all of the other doofus things they plan and then nuke, anyways this might be the best idea they have had, but knowing Sony they will botch this with elegance, I have pretty much zero faith in what Sony does at this point, just some second rate money making riding on the coattails of Marvel Studios, case in point can't wait to have my eyes wrenched back like a scene in clockwork orange while I watch Kraven or Madame web, and pretend I like at least 5 minutes of the movie, while feeling like I'm being force fed wet tea biscuits.

Oh, fun. The Punisher series was terrible.
