Remember when in 2007 and 2011 Nicolas Cage portrayed the Johnny Blaze version of Ghost Rider in Ghost Rider and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, respectively? Yeah, the movies were made in the pre-mcu era and while they were never major hits at the time, with all the nostalgia, fans want to see the character once again.

We know that since Disney’s acquisition of Fox, the rights to these characters switched to the MCU, which now has access to Ghost Rider. In light of that, we have reported how Cage was called to reprise his role in Deadpool & Wolverine and how even concept art showing Ghost Rider was made, but that did not work out.

And while Cage is now working on Spider-Noir, fans are demanding his return to the role of Ghost Rider as well. In light of that, a popular, yet not always reliable source of...

Nicolas Cage was spotted on the set of Spider-Noir earlier this month but wasn’t in his Spidey costume at the time. Thankfully, our first look at the live-action Spider-Man Noir costume has arrived, thanks to a handful of set photos. There’s also a video that showcases a stunt sequence in which Spider-Noir is perched atop a vehicle while shooting webs. You’ll have to view that through the link. Given the nature of the scene, it’s not Cage in the costume but rather a stunt double.

2024 is (a). almost over and (b). has officially entered its spooky season. So by now, we can pinpoint some horror trends. What is scaring us this year?

Both "Immaculate" and "The First Omen" are about young women forced by religious fanatics to bear unwanted and monstrous pregnancies. Due to the movies' overlapping subject matter and tight release window, they were named the harbingers of a pro-choice horror wave. America did recently strip people's rights to abortion by judicial fiat, after all. Even Coralie Fargeat's "The Substance," a body horror film about how beauty standards devalue aging women, is a cousin to these films. (Fargeat's film has got the most disgusting "birth" scene that doesn't star a chestburster.)

However, one should not forget the religious settings of "Immaculate" and "The First Omen," for this is where the two 2024 horror trends intersect.

Spider-Noir Set Photos Reveal First Look at Nicolas Cage's Live-Action Spider-Man Noir - Main Image

The recently released set photos from the filming of Spider-Noir gave fans their first look at Nicolas Cage as the live-action Spider-Man Noir.

A few months ago, it was confirmed that Sony and MGM are officially moving forward with a live-action Spider-Man Noir TV series with Cage returning to reprise his role from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Considering the distinct style and tone of the character, fans have been looking forward to hearing how it will all play out in live-action, especially Cage's portrayal of the fan-favorite Spider-Man variant.

The first batch of set photos from the production of Spider-Noir recently made its waves online, giving fans their first look at Cage as the live-action version of Spider-Man Noir.

While...

Cameras are now rolling on Prime Video's Spider-Noir series, which will introduce a live-action take on Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man Noir from the animated Into The Spider-Verse movies.

Just Jared has shared the first photos from the set, and they reveal Cage filming a scene as the titular washed-up crime-fighter. We don't have much context for the sequence being shot, but the site notes that Cage's character appears to have been "knocked over by something in the scene."

The show's official logline says Spider-Noir “tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”

Though this has yet to be officially confirmed, Cage is believed to be playing a new take on Peter Parker's genetic clone, Ben Reilly, aka the Scarlet Spider.

It should go without saying that The Boys is one of the most well-liked superhero shows in the world. With each successive season, Eric Kripke’s vision for the television program managed to propel Garth Ennis’ dark and twisted take on the superhero genre to new heights, making it one of the most-watched television shows ever.

We’ve chosen to go back and remember the incredible fourth season of the show, which concluded recently, as we get ready for its insane final season. As you recall, we hadn’t discussed Black Noir all that much previously, but this season he was really important because of his fascinating resurrection and a lot of other changes to the character.

Not that long ago, we reported on the franchise releasing an in-universe audition tape of Nathan Mitchell, the actor playing Black Noir, auditioning for the role of the “new” Black Noir, during that video,...

“Revolver” is a 2024 Korean movie, categorized as Noir, Revenge, Thriller and Suspense, and Crime. Summary: An ex-detective gets caught up in corruption and her “friends” ask her to take the blame. All of them shouldn’t go to jail. Right? She agrees but only because they made “promises”. When she was released from prison, she discovered that her “friends” had disappeared and nobody planned to keep their “promises”. She got played and screwed. ♦ You Want Me to Take One for ‘The Team’? Ha Soo-Young was a police detective who got involved with some shady characters. Some of them work in law enforcement and some of them work “elsewhere”. A person known for throwing drug parties got arrested. Im Seok-Yong, the chief of the detective department, informs her that the person who was arrested recorded all of his phone conversations and her name came up several times. What? That’s incredible!

It’s no secret that The Boys has become one of the most beloved superhero series worldwide. With each new season, Eric Kripke’s vision has taken Garth Ennis’ dark and twisted spin on the superhero genre to even greater heights, making it one of the most-watched shows of all time.

As we gear up for its wild final season, we’ve decided to revisit the incredible fourth season that wrapped up recently. If you remember, we didn’t focus much on Black Noir before, but this season, he played a pivotal role, thanks to his intriguing resurrection and the character’s significant changes.

Not long ago, we covered the release of an in-universe audition tape featuring Nathan Mitchell, who portrays Black Noir. In this meta moment, he auditions for the role of the “new” Black Noir, and during the video, a revealing detail was dropped that might hint at something big for the future.

Everyone knows that The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series around. Garth Ennis’ dark and twisted take on the genre has turned into a cultural phenomenon, with Eric Kripke’s vision elevating the show to new heights with each season.

As the series gears up for its wild final season, we’re taking a moment to revisit the recently concluded fourth season. One character we hadn’t discussed much before is Black Noir, who played a significant role this season with his intriguing comeback from the dead.

While we saw a “new” Black Noir on screen, with Nathan Mitchell reprising his role, the in-universe events behind his return were much more complicated. The “new” Black Noir had to go through a unique audition to become the latest member of the Seven.

If you haven’t seen it yet, The Boys recently released an audition tape for the...

Everyone knows by now that The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series in the world. Garth Ennis’ dark and twisted take on the superhero genre became one of the most popular television series of all time as Eric Kripke’s vision managed to take the show to new heights with each new season.

The series is preparing for its crazy final season, which is why we have decided to revisit the epic fourth season that recently ended. If you remember, Black Noir is a character that we hadn’t talked about much before, but he was actually very significant to this season as he made a most intriguing comeback from the dead.

The return was an amazing thing and while we simply saw a “new” Black Noir on the screen, with Nathan Mitchell reprising his role, it seems that the behind-the-scenes in-universe events were far more complex,...

Earlier this year, Full Moon founder Charles Band announced that his company was launching a new production label called Pulp Noir, which will focus on “edgier, weirder, darker horror and dark fantasy films.” They also set up a Patreon account where fans can subscribe and show their support for the company while getting a behind-the-scenes look at the making of these films. The first movie in the Pulp Noir line, a female serial killer story called Quadrant, received a Blu-ray, DVD, limited edition VHS, and streaming release on August 23rd – and the second Pulp Noir movie, Death Streamer, is following close behind!

Jack Huston has joined the cast of Spider-Noir. He will star as a series regular alongside Nicolas Cage, who plays 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 first voiced the character in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

I’ve been re-watching Boardwalk Empire recently, and Huston is just phenomenal as Richard Harrow, a heartbreaking character who is one hell of a badass. It’s not known exactly who Huston will play in Spider-Noir, but it’s said he will be a bodyguard. Perhaps he’ll be watching over Brendan Gleeson’s character, who is expected to be the main villain of the series. The cast also includes Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, Abraham Popoola as a World War I veteran, and Li Jun Li as a...

Did Amazon’s live-action Spider-Man Noir series find its main villain? Variety seems to think so. According to the entertainment outlet, Brendan Gleeson is officially joining the cast of the hard-boiled Spider-Man series, possibly in a villainous role. Details about Gleeson’s character remain a mystery. However, Variety believes he could play the main villain in the show that stars a stacked cast, including Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir, with Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, Abraham Popoola as a World War I veteran, and Li Jun Li as a singer at a premiere New York nightclub.

Here’s the official logline for Amazon’s Spider-Man Noir series courtesy of Amazon and MGM :

The show “tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.

Recently, Sony has faced several difficulties in managing their Spider-Man IP. Despite the monumental success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, made in collaboration with Marvel Studios, their solo universe featuring the other Spider-Man characters is not doing well. Reportedly, they had just faced another blow as their plans to bring the IP on streaming may be at risk.

Sony was planning to expand the iconic Marvel IP on streaming by introducing some new television series on Amazon Prime. They hired the revered Spider-Verse films’ producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller to bring this to fruition. But a report from Puck now states that Sony may not renew their deal with the writer-duo due to a heated debate regarding Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Noir series.

What went wrong between Sony and the Spider-Verse writers?

Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Man Noir in Into the Spider-Verse...

The long-running partnership between Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Sony is reportedly set to end, following disagreements over Spider-Man: Noir.

A story has popped up over at Puck that claims things are not going particularly smoothly on the live-action Spider-Man: Noir project that’s set to feature Nicolas Cage as a hard-boiled alternative universe take on the Spider-Man character.

An animated version of the character popped up in Sony’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and its sequel, Across The Spider-Verse. A third entry in that series was due to arrive in March of this year but was delayed with stories suggesting that too many revisions to the project were making the animation workflow very difficult in terms of meeting deadlines.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are the co-writers behind those films and are hands-on in their roles as producers. Back in 2019, Sony reportedly signed the duo to a five-year,...

Yesterday evening, the news broke that J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot have inexplicably managed to sign a new multi-year film and TV deal with Warner Bros.

The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker filmmaker has produced little to nothing for the studio since signing a $250 million deal in 2019 (including a now-scrapped slate of Justice League Dark TV shows) but according to Puck, this new contract will be for significantly less money.

Elsewhere in the piece, various updates are shared about similar deals, including Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller's partnership with Sony Pictures Television.

The duo signed a five-year, nine-figure TV deal with the studio in 2019, with the idea being that they'd oversee a slate of Spider-Man projects on streaming. Despite Sony's habit of producing terrible Marvel movies like Morbius and Madame Web, this partnership generated a fair bit of excitement among fans.

The first of those TV shows,...

The Boys star Nathan Mitchell shares an update on the final season of the hit Prime Video series and what the audience can expect from Black Noir, the character he plays in the show. While he couldn’t give specifics, he teased fans that they have some crazy stuff in store for them.

Season 5 will be the final installment in the satirical superhero television series, but showrunner Eric Kripke promised that there will be more spinoffs to come and more interesting stories to look forward to.

Nathan Mitchell Provides Hopeful Updates On The Boys Season 5

In an exclusive interview with The Direct, The Boys star Nathan Mitchell revealed they will soon be back in production after Season 4 wrapped up last month.

I’ve heard inklings, but hopefully, we head back. I don’t know if I can officially say when we go back.

Prime Video's live-action Spider-Noir series, which will star Nicolas Cage as the Depression-era wall-crawler of the title, has added another cast member, with Andor and Morbius actor Abraham Popoola set to play a key supporting role.

Popoola's character is not named, but Deadline reveals that he is "a World War I veteran who is looking for an opportunity to get ahead." Insider Daniel Richtman has since weighed in, and he believes he'll be playing Flint Marko, aka the Sandman.

A recent character breakdown described this take on the Spider-Man villains as: "A hired goon working for Yuri, but he has an unknown condition that causes him to turn into the Sandman. When he switches between identities, he has no memories of what the alter ego did while in control. It seems a decent amount of the story will revolve around him, and there is a lot of potential for this character to be a fan-favorite.

Possible Character Details for Spider-Noir Series Starring Nicolas Cage - Main Image

Nicolas Cage played a small role as Spider-Man Noir in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and while the role wasn't expected to go anywhere, it was announced earlier this year that a live-action Spider-Man Noir spinoff would be coming to Amazon Prime Video.

While no official visuals have been released for the show, it has been revealed that this Spider-Man variant is Ben Reilly and Not Peter Parker. It could be a while before Sony makes some more official reveals, but an insider has possibly leaked a breakdown of the series’ characters.

Possible Character Breakdown in Spider-Noir Series

Though Nicolas Cage is expected to reprise his version of Spider-Man Noir, it does look like his show is going to be populated by a lot of other Spider-Man character variants. According to insider Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie), here...

Abraham Popoola (Atlas) has been tapped as a series regular opposite Nicolas Cage in Spider-Noir, the upcoming MGM and Prime Video live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. On the Sony Pictures TV-produced series, which has been renamed from its original title Noir to highlight its Spider-Man universe lineage, Popoola will play a World War I veteran who is looking for an opportunity to get ahead.

In addition to Cage, Popoola joins previously announced Lamorne Morris and Li Jun Li in the series.

Spider-Noir, from executive producers/co-showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.

Harry Bradbeer is set to direct, and executive produce the first two episodes of the series, which Uziel and...

Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi revolutionized the superhero genre when their Spider-Man was released in 2002. It made the wall-crawler insanely popular among the general audience and had a massive cultural impact. The superhero franchise established by Raimi is still enjoying success with other actors. As per a recent report, the Spider-Man franchise is currently the second highest-grossing film franchise.

We have often seen on the internet how the fans debate over the best among the three popular iterations of Spider-Man. While each version had its pros and cons, it cannot be denied that Tobey Maguire set a standard in the genre that others have not really been able to meet. He had a primary contribution in skyrocketing the franchise to a level that is presently greater than Star Wars or DC.

Spider-Man has reached an insane level of success

The three Spider-Men together...

We know that The Boys is one of the most popular comic book series of all time, which is mostly due to the TV series being exceptionally popular; this, of course, increased the popularity of the comic book as well. The series as a whole has been consistently ranked and listed as one of the best of all time, which is why people always want to know more about it.

Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker, whose goal was to determine the best actors of all time. The list includes a total of 40 characters, but in our report, we have decided to list the top ten characters from The Boys to provide you with better insight, combined with our original comments and opinions, which will add flavor to the whole report.

Of course, since this is indeed an important list, we have decided to report on it, so...

Wu Assassins star Li Jun Li is swinging into Sony’s Spider-Noir, the live-action Spider-Man spinoff series starring Nicolas Cage as Spider-Noir.

Homelander may have murdered Black Noir, but his replacement in the fourth season of The Boys has his own quirks.

The previous episode revealed that Noir II is narcoleptic and can suddenly fall asleep, and as it turns out, this was something they got from actor Nathan Mitchell.

Though he may be a replacement, the new Black Noir of The Seven is given his arc for the fourth season, and it’s revealed that he’s still a supe—but one that’s specially trained in acting. Besides all the usual invulnerability powers, Noir II also has the ability to fly.

Well, not exactly Black Noir but an actor (with some superpowers) has been wearing the costume of Black Noir ever since the beginning of Season 4 of The Boys.

There are only a few dark fantasy RPG titles not made by FromSoft itself that manage to win over gamers’ hearts, a feat that Lies of P has managed to accomplish, deservingly so.

Being the Soulslike title it is, the game made by Neowiz Studios does not only inspire from some of the best Hidetaka Miyazaki works but manages to do it better in some parts, which is the reason why fans have started calling it the ‘only competition’ the studio responsible for a masterpiece like Elden Ring has.

It’s Christmas for “The Boys” — sort of.

The latest episode begins with Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) filming a puppet-themed Christmas special for Vought, complete with a puppet version of A-Train and a hilarious pro-America, anti-woke agenda. However, Ryan pulls the plug on the promo over its controversial lyrics, which were personally approved by his dad Homelander (Antony Starr).

Things aren’t going well for the elder, unraveling supe. Homelander is furious that Vought hasn’t caught the company leaker yet, after Homelander incorrectly suspected and then murdered newscaster Cameron Coleman (Matthew Edison) — who is reported publicly to have died from a brain aneurysm after a flu vaccination.

It sounds like the Spider-Man Noir live-action series on Amazon is really shaping up to be something unique! Set in 1930s New York City, this time, the focus is interestingly not Peter Parker. The mention of it being set in its own universe also adds intrigue.

Another intriguing report claims the presence of Sandman too. Fans are speculating this would be the perfect moment for John Cena to join the MCU, it’s understandable given fans have been clamoring for this to happen for quite a while now.

Can Fans Expect John Cena in the New Nicolas Cage Spider-Man Noir Series?

According to reports from Daniel Richtman’s Patreon (@DanielRPK on X), the upcoming Spider-Man Noir series, featuring Nicolas Cage, is rumored to include Sandman as one of its villains. While these details remain speculative, the prospect of Sandman appearing in this mystery...

After being rumored last week, Variety has confirmed that Academy Award-nominee Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin; Edge of Tomorrow; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) has joined the cast of Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios' upcoming Spider-Noir live-action series as the show's lead villain.

Further details on his role were unavailable, but it seems probable that he'll be playing Spider-Man Noir's archnemesis Norman Osborn, who in this universe is a ruthless crime lord, with a vast criminal empire that is involved in a variety of illegal enterprises, including, but not limited to, bootlegging, gambling, and human trafficking. His activities ultimately put him in the path of our hero, who, throughout the comic miniseries, is seeking to bring justice to the corrupt and crime-ridden streets of New York.

Per the official description, Robertson is 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.” The character was previously brought to life in live-action by Bill Nunn in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. After rumours last week, it has also been confirmed that Brendan Gleeson will join the cast. He’s said to be playing the villain.

Nicolas Cage recently shared an update on the highly-anticipated Spider-Man Noir TV series as fans are waiting for his live-action debut.

It was recently announced that MGM and Prime Video are officially moving forward with the Spider-Verse live-action series Noir which will star Cage as Spider-Man Noir, reprising his fan-favorite role in live-action.

So far, the plot details regarding the series are being kept under wraps, but fans are looking forward to seeing how Cage will tackle the role in live-action, especially with its 1930s-style noir storytelling.

Nicolas Cage Offers Update on Spider-Man Noir TV Series

In a recent interview, Cage opened up about starring in Noir and shared why he decided to play Spider-Man Noir in a live-action series.

He admitted that he's always wanted to star in a TV series after seeing Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad.

Noir is headed to the small screen. The new live-action drama series, based on the Spider-Man: Noir comics, will be released on both the MGM and Prime Video streaming services.

Amazon has decided not to move forward with the Marvel live-action series, Silk: Spider Society, two years after green-lighting the project. The show, from producers Sony Pictures Television, was confirmed back in 2022 and was in the early stages of writing when Amazon pulled the plug on it.

The Walking Dead fame Angela Kang was attached to the series as the showrunner, whose deal with Amazon still remains in place as she will be working on other projects for the studio. Meanwhile, Prime Video has announced another series based on Marvel characters owned by Sony: Noir, starring Nicolas Cage.

Silk: Spider Society Canceled by Amazon

Silk: Spider Society was said to be in the works for five years and was officially ordered in November 2022 for MGM and Prime Video.

After five years in development, “Silk: Spider Society” is no more. Variety reports that Amazon has scrapped plans for the live-action series entirely after the show already received a massive writers’ room overhaul in February. It’s a fate Spidey-fans shouldn’t be surprised by. When Amazon gave “Noir” with Nic Cage the green light last week, they provided no updates on “Silk: Spider Society,” leading many to assume the worst.

Earlier this week, we learned of plans for Noir, a new Spider-Man TV series coming to Amazon's Prime Video. While it's still early days, the project will see Nicolas Cage suit up after first playing the title character in 2018's animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

There was no mention of Silk: Spider Society during Amazon's Upfronts earlier this week and, yesterday evening, we learned that the streamer has scrapped plans for the series.

The Hollywood Reporter has since chimed in, confirming that Phil Lord and Chris Miller remain attached to Sony's small screen Spider-Verse. The filmmakers "were handed control of the studio’s Marvel slate" as part of a deal first made with the studio in 2019.

"Plans for the interconnected Marvel slate of Sony shows remains in place, sources say, though only Noir will be part of that now unless another buyer for Silk emerges," the trade adds.

The Spider-Verse gives, and the Spider-Verse takes away. According to Deadline, the live-action TV series "Silk: Spider Society" is dead on arrival after years of development. Earlier this week, MGM and Prime Video (which were set to be the streaming home for the series) announced that Nicolas Cage will be starring in his own live-action Spider-Verse spinoff, "Noir," but didn't give any updates on "Silk" a series that was set to shine a spotlight on Korean-American spider-powered hero Cindy Moon. Rights for the character are reportedly set to revert back to Sony Pictures Television, which will continue looking for a home for the show.

Deadline says the series is no more, and their sources vary when it comes to the reason "Silk" isn't moving forward. However, the show has publicly gone through some turnover since even before it was first officially greenlit in 2022. Back in 2018, "Silk" was rumored to be...
