The Noir TV show starring Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man will repeat Tobey Maguire’s biggest movie change. The Noir TV show was announced in 2024, coming as a surprise to many. Despite Cage voicing the character in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the upcoming Spider-Man TV show was certainly unexpected. Many assumed Cage would only reprise his role in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse‘s story, but a live-action reimagining of the character is in the works at Amazon Prime.

With the upcoming Marvel TV show causing a lot of excitement, attention is naturally turning to how the character will be developed in live-action. Given the title of the show and the character it takes its name from, Noir will likely be a more detective-based story around the character of Spider-Man. As such, the show will be different from most other iterations of the Web-Slinger, especially the MCU’s upcoming Spider-Man 4. That said, Noir will match one iteration of the hero – specifically Tobey Maguire’s – by repeating a major comic book change made for the Raimi trilogy.
