Prime Video's Spider-Noir images show Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly
Prime Video released new images of Spider-Noir showing Nicolas Cage as a noir detective version of Spider-Man called The Spider, whose real name is Ben Reilly. After voicing the character in the Spider-Verse franchise, Cage brings this variant to the small screen.
Co-showrunner Oren Uziel said they chose to focus on an older, jaded hero well past his prime. Uziel added, "Ben Reilly has already gone through the entire arc and has seen it all. He’s over it, and trying to move past it. But his past kind of keeps coming back to haunt him.
It's just a different version that we haven't seen before." The images tease key supporting players: Lamorne Morris as journalist Robbie Robertson and Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, a nightclub chanteuse whose name nods to Black Cat, Felicia Hardy.
