With a return on the horizon in Past the Spider-Verse after Throughout the Spider-Verse‘s cliffhanger ending, may he additionally placed on the go well with for actual within the upcoming Spider-Man Noir live-action sequence?
The present, which is being developed by Sony Footage Tv and Amazon (very similar to the long-in-the-works Silk sequence), recruited The Punisher’s Steve Lightfoot final yr as co-showrunner, teasing that the powers that be desire a genuinely darkish tone for this new live-action iteration of the wall-crawler.

Lengthy story brief: There have been conversations, however nothing has been determined but. Silk’s lengthy artistic street, we would not be stunned if this one follows the identical route. This is Cage’s full quote: “Nicely, I can say that we’ve got been speaking. It is no secret that I really like the character. I believe the character offers one other mash up of kinds. I can mix my favourite golden age performances, i.e. Robinson, Cagney, Bogart, with a personality that’s, I assume, extensively thought of [to be] Stan Lee’s masterpiece.
