They were definitely leaning into that in the animated movies, I hope they stick with it. If they do that, then I'm definitely in.
Interesting - Cage was funny in the role when it was animated, but I'm not sure I'd be able to buy him in live action unless this is also going to be a comedy. Cage can definitely give a serious performance when he's asked to, so I hope that's what we'll be seeing here. Hope that casting a big name like Cage doesn't mean no mask time.
Also, last time we heard this wasn't going to be about Peter Parker - would be weird to have Cage reprise the role if they're also going to turn him into an OC Noir Spider-Man, so hopefully that means they've rolled that element back.

Also, if I were Nic's age, I'd also be wanting a paid-for superhero diet for a few months to keep myself in great shape going into my later years.
A chance to be good? It's starring Nic fucking Cage. He is a legend.
Two things:
First, this could actually be incredible. Cautiously excited.
Second, that Silk live action series is never happening, is it?

Disney has nothing to do with it. Sony has the rights in this case.
Sure, but Disney generally gets first crack at the Sony Spider-Man stuff, too.
I'm in. Cage could be playing Howard the Duck and I'd be there
Cage has actually been talking about retiring or at least cutting back from making movies and focusing on stuff like TV

I'm surprised we don't get more Superheroes-way-past-their-prime stories like Logan.
Sounds interesting!

Because they bid on them? Amazon went for Silk and Spider-Man Noir.

Most likely Disney passed. We don't know the terms of their deal, but I'd imagine they get a reasonable right of first refusal on any Marvel content under their Sony/MCU deal. I could be wrong, but that would strike me as non-negotiable.
If this does well, I wonder if we could one day get a live action Spider-Gwen series? Perhaps I'm just dreaming.
since it is a TV show, it must have some sort of first look stipulation, yeah.
It says prime will have a "global" launch so I'd assume that includes the US.
Weird it implies it's on the MGM+ cable channel first though. Maybe that also means the streaming service.

So… actually Spider-Noir and not an offshoot Spider "name changed for legal reasons" Man like that dude who popped up in Invincible season 2?
