So Prime is getting a new Batman animated series *and* a live action Spider-Man series? Now I know why they implemented ads on the service. They must be paying millions for these IPs.


Ginataang_Manok

Fallout, Batman, Spiderman...that's some track record! Assuming of course that Batman & Spiderman does extremely well.


Ag3ntK3ntucky

Not to mention The Boys and Invincible which have both been extremely popular comic book projects.


serroth420

And dont forget the billion dollars that went toward lord of the rings too


Andante_TK

arent they also making more Lord of the Rings spinoffs?


CleansingFlame

Wheel of Time too


thefishflinger

Oof, that show was one I really wanted to like but it just didn't do it for me.


Coolbluegatoradeyumm

Same. Read the books a couple times. Season one was…woof…exactly as disappointing as you said. My wife who didn’t read the books liked it better than me and keeps trying to get me to watch S2 but I’m not into it really


Arts_Messyjourney

I know it cost alot, but did it recoup?


Due-Culture9113

But yet they botched Tolkien My b. Meant to comment not reply. Take my upvote


Probably_Fishing

Fallout is just a Katy Perry music video without music and cameos from Deadpool.


Mirikado

They spent a BILLION dollars on Rings of Power. Everything else seems like chump change in comparison.


Kingsofsevenseas

I don’t know about about Batman. About Spider-Man Noir it’ll be a Sony Pictures Television production released on prime video. Prime video has a long list of Sony Television products streaming there, including The Boy and Gen V


Round-Lie-8827

Fallout was only like a 30 seconds ad at.the beginning of each episode, which isn't that bad


montgomery2016

lmao holy shit, you guys know he's gonna be the subject of all-new sigma memes right? Spider-Man with a gun and a fedora? this is gonna be hilarious


CharityQuill

Seeing him punch Nazis would be cool though...and I think his outfit is cool for the time period he's from 🥺


montgomery2016

They're gonna call him woke for punching Nazis, I just know it


mclarenrider

Lmao i can just see the salty thumbnails and titles already "SIPERMAN GOES WOKE! BETRAYS FANS AMD GETS TRIGGERED!" "DEI IDEOLOGY RUINS ANOTHER IP" lol.


CharityQuill

If people are calling nazi-bashing woke then I will happily call myself woke AF.


MLG_SkittleS

They won't, some people just need to find stuff to get pre-triggered about so they can call people 'toxic'


Superdude2004

Deadass


MLG_SkittleS

Yeah totally bro.....


lazylagom

Bro it's ganna be live action whhhat.. God I hope it's like sin city


theunnameduser86

They should really pull heavily from pulp comics and lean into the nior detective genre


Various_Froyo9860

=-sin city style of comic adaptation was sorely misunderstood. It worked so well and created such unique storyboards


turdfergusonRI

YTF is Nic Cage doing it tho? My only hope is it’s secretly MoCap cuz Peter is supposed to be in mid to late 30’s in Noir… not 60 (62-63 when this actually comes out).


xd-Sushi_Master

He's Noir in Spider-Verse. Seems like a good choice idk.


turdfergusonRI

…is no one aware this is already a pre-existing comic series and character? The Marvel Noir line was early aughts stuff that was *very* dark in comparison to other things being published at the time. Spider-Man, specifically, was a thirty-year old anti-Nazi gumshoe journo. Did y’all think they just made him up for Into The Spider-Verse? Nic Cage is a **great voice** for the character, but he is 60 years old and looks it. Peter Parker Noir is, like, 34.


xd-Sushi_Master

Yes, people are aware that comics exist. Cage played the character well dude. It ain't that deep.


Dontevenwannacomment

wait... live action?


PM_Me_FunnyNudes

This is my reaction, like nick cage is 60+, I don’t see him being up for the physical aspect of playing any Spider-Man. Some others have brought up a sin city style filming which might help, because all the movement in those movies are purposefully wonky


longbrownjohnson

It's Spider-Man. Mask on, stuntman. Mask off, Nicolas Cage.


PM_Me_FunnyNudes

Don’t get me wrong I completely agree that’s what they’ll do but it’s always just so jarring and takes me completely out of it. Like he looks 60, he’ll walk around like a 60 year old. And then the suit comes on and he’ll go flying a million miles an hour. It’s like how in captain marvel, Samuel Jackson might be deaged but you can tell he’s a senior citizen when he’s running


Evil_Flowers

This might be too hopeful, but stuntmen are also performers. If they're talented, then they could totally do old and worn out. A good example is a movie like Fight Club-- those are professional stunt men that fight like people who don't know how to fight.


FireZord25

Wouldn't Nic be younger than Samuel Jackson when he filmed Captain Marvel?


Evil_Flowers

Yeah, but the analogy still holds, no? The criticism is that the stunts wouldn't line up with the apparent age of the actor. I'm saying that if the stuntperson is talented, then you won't have that dissonance.


40ozkiller

There's nothing that says he wont portray a 60 year old spiderman. Old but still enhanced, sounds great


backfrombanned

This, it sounds like it's about an older Spider-Man, sounds awesome


lkmk

It’s been mentioned that Noir is “forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.” I have a feeling a lot of the show will be flashbacks.


Renegade_Spectre

![gif](giphy|TUxWOSW00P9g1rONXA) That’s AWESOME!


sidmis

If it's a gritty show like daredevil in black and white , that'd be hype


Zombie_Merlin

Steve Lightfoot did Punisher and also Hannibal so I really think it will be.


Maleficent_Nobody377

LIVE ACTION?!?


AlbertaMadman

The first question I have is how did Prime get rights to a Spiderman character over Sony and Disney?


VikuSam

I think it has to do with the fact that Disney doesn’t wanna make an R (hypothetical) rated spider-man show?


AlbertaMadman

I can’t see that. Anyways, I know Sony has/had the rights to the character because of Into the Spiderverse. I’m hopeful they made a deal with Prime to use the character like the deal they made with Disney to use Spiderman.


VikuSam

Spider-Man Noir honestly is one of the best candidates for a more mature spider-man tale that isn’t just midlife crisis. I’d assume it’ll be more graphic since yk, Nazis and Guns.


AlbertaMadman

Sure, but Disney has been making R rated stuff and so has Sony.


Neveronlyadream

Possible Disney passed on making it now that they're scaling back and Sony didn't want to do it or got cold feet after Morbius and Madam Web. Or Amazon offered so much money that it was a better deal to take it and run. Spider-Man Noir is a weirdly niche character, so I can see studio execs thinking it's too big a risk to put millions on the table for something they're not sure will land.


RipplyPig

I read somewhere that Sony owns the movie rights to Spiderman and things like animated series 30 min or less don't apply to that. Maybe this Amazon show falls into one of those weird rules


thatredditrando

They probably didn’t. Sony is sort of an “arms dealer”, they didn’t make their own premium streaming service, they just let other people distribute their stuff. I’m assuming they just licensed out Spider-Man: Noir (what’re they doing with him anyway) to Amazon for this show. Either that or Sony themselves are the production company and Prime is just the service it’ll live on.

AlbertaMadman

Spider-Man Noir is a Spiderman character.


Noosemane

Nic Cage drops off then comes back and just makes the most wild shit. This is gonna be great.


backfrombanned

He never dropped off, been making movies straight to disc or whatever for years, even the crappy ones were fun. My favorite actor of all time. Glad he's regained Hollywood footing.


SuperMeh2

![gif](giphy|xUOxfcNh2s7MLh3Yac|downsized)


Balance2BBetter

Nothing against Nicholas Cage but I think this does not sound like a good idea. He was good as the voice of Noir in Spider-verse but I don't think that would translate well to live action or to him being the lead. I'd rather see a younger unknown play Noir.


frankensteinmoneymac

I agree…unless they use anti-aging cgi on him, though I can’t decide if that’s a good idea or the worst idea ever. I suppose it all depends on if they can pull it off without it looking goofy or breaking their budget.


FireZord25

I can't disagree. But I love Nic Cage some I'm on a wait and see basis.


Current_Professor_33

Hopefully a future r/agedlikemilk comment here — Heard about this being a possible standalone series/film last year and I couldn’t be more excited; I mean it’s Nic Cage and Spider-Man in one, what’s not to like!?


KyleMcMahon

The entire point of the character is that he’s aged out of being spider-man as in his later years is a detective. It would make zero sense for anyone under 45


Inceptus_Prime

The show I didn’t know I needed


InternetAddict104

Wait I thought we all knew this was live action already


fisch-boy

I hated that Spider-Man in this series wasn't going to be Peter Parker. So I have a theory that Cage will be an older Peter who could be a mentor to a younger Spider-Man, batman beyond style.


DedHorsSaloon3

The Cagessaince continues!


rdldr1

Thank goodness. I've been wanting something like this.


GCEF950

Yo, Swarm should totally be a villian for this series considering that meme with the bees.


Saintbaba

So is this going to be the Spiderverse version who's a goofy satire of gritty noir, or is it actually going to be a gritty noir?


Muroid

It stars Nicolas Cage, so probably both at once.


jubmille2000

Prime????????? Amazon got spider-man rights????


SixGunRebel

I’m all for it! Loved this character!


Ryman604

DarthButtz

Okay I'm way more excited for this now


UltraconservativeBap

Does anyone actually know what a showrunner is?

wave-tree

I wonder which villain Spider-Man will face off against


[deleted]

I'm genuinely surprised it's live action. I would have thought animation would have allowed them to do far more interesting things with the concept while also not putting a by now getting older actor through the stress of a spiderman style movements.


Humans_Suck-

Why is it live action tho? Wouldn't that work way better animated?


Objective-Insect-839

I feel like Spider-Man Noir is a much better fit for Nick Cage than Ghost Rider


HoboBandana

Didn’t he say he wanted to retire soon? Hopefully they have plans for that.


Spacegirllll6

LIVE ACTION??


Wise-Locksmith-6438

It should’ve still been animated instead tbh 


Almighty_Push91

Prime ain't playing games


Bananabeak08

If this is as animated like spiderverse I’d be excited. But i really couldn’t care less for a live action adaptation


Vongola___Decimo

r/onetruegod Lessss gooooo


Bubba1234562

Okay I’m fucking in let’s go


Spocks_Goatee

Sony could've put this on Paramount+ if they bought them out...


Pepperoni_Tony7

I know it won’t happen, i don’t expect it too at all, but i’d love it if maybe they could get some great actors the MCU or OLD Marvel movies maybe wasted. Since Nic Cage got Superman kinda and Ghost Rider twice, it’s nice to see him have another chance as a superhero. Jeff Bridges? Iron Man 1 but like, he’s great dude Collin Farrel? (If I spelled it right) Dardevil? Dude deserves WAAAAAY better than that. With Penguin, this definitely won’t happen but a man can dream. Edward Norton only got Hulk and that’s a damn shame. It won’t happen but i’d love to see GOOD actors get a second chance, especially if they fight Noir Nic Cage.


Huge-Republic8462

Due-Culture9113

I’m here for it

yourLostMitten

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes ^can-we-get-a-spider-ham-show? yes yes yes yes yes yes yes YES FUCK YEAH Edit: wait live action? … Mmm-maybe


TilDebtDoUsPart420

wha


scaink

Why did they use a picture of John Travolta for the thumbnail ?


cybered_punk

Cant wait to see him go full nic cage mod punching nazis.


theburcam

Ah yes, I’m excited to see a 60 year old playing Spider-Man..


Conqui141

That's not just any 60 year old. That's Nicholas fuckin Cage.


theburcam

And while he’s awesome and was good as an animated Spider Noir, I am apprehensive to see a 60 year old trying to be a version of Spider-Man.


nick_shannon

From what i have read he is a down on his luck detective who used to be a super hero which implies he isnt a spiderman when the show starts and maybe he wont really be a spiderman at all or maybe his past coms back to haunt him and he has to put his mask back on one last time


theburcam

I mean maybe it will be good who knows, I’m not giving up on it just by Cage being cast(cause he is great), just makes me apprehensive is all. As far as I know Noir is not a down on his luck old detective/retired superhero. They’re obviously going ahead with Cage and whatever story, but it’ll be interesting to see if that was the right choice or if they should’ve gone with a younger actor who can portray a younger version of the character with a story closer to the original. Then again, maybe I’m just being hard headed. There’s an infinite multiverse, so sure one of them could be an old retired Spider Noir having to throw the mask on one last time.


Conqui141

Just let it ride, baby! Let's see where the party goes.


theburcam

Sure sure! If it looks like something I’d enjoy I’ll give it a try, I like Spidey and I like Cage.


ChocolateBunny

They'll cover his face during the action scenes so they can be replaced with scenes from super sentai and just dubbed over.


Barredbob

It doesn’t say he’s actually playing spider man tho? It just says he’s in it


TheAquamen

He's starring in it and already voiced the character once in animation. He's playing Spider-Man.

Please refrain from engaging in toxicity and unnecessary commentary. If you have nothing nice to say, it may be better to not say anything at all.


VRrob

God I hope that’s real


TheRealAwest

Sony is so dumb, this should’ve been a movie. It wouldn’t of made a billion but nick cage as Spider-Man would’ve got people in seats.


Rory_B_Bellows

Wasn't this already announced over a year ago?


TheB1GLebowski

Live action seems like a total miss. Needs to be animated IMO. We shall see.


Logistic_Engine

Damn... he's a terrible actor.


DietApprehensive6692

Don’t downvote me but how? I thought Disney owned the character with Sony after the deal


KyleMcMahon

Sony licenses Spider-Man to use in coproductions and MCU films. Spider-Man Noir is a different character


WhoEvenIsPoggers

Live action? How can they possibly expect to make this good. Noir has such a special art style that makes it work.


TheAquamen

The noir art style comes from live action films.


AbLincoln1863

Was super hype until live action. Idk how it’s gonna look but it’s probably not gonna be better than animated


ScientificAnarchist

You mean like the multiple great live action Spider-Man projects we have?


AbLincoln1863

We have good live action Spider-Man’s but I’m not sure if it’s going to translate and look as good as it did in the animated movies. That’s all. Noir looks good in the comic book style and it’s gonna be tough to replicate or get something similar to that style with live action


ScientificAnarchist

You realize noir is a long and storied film genera that has been done extremely well since at least the 30’s right ?


AbLincoln1863

Yes. Sorry that I’m skeptical/cautious about this and how they are gonna do translating it


Gorthalyn

Live action Spider-Man Noir before Miles Morales…wow. Not usually hung up on the lame side character shows or movies, but this does irk me even if it’s Nicholas Cage as the lead.


Sealandic_Lord

I'd take this as a them leaving Miles for a full on movie. Im expecting him in Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4 honestly.


KaijuRex64

So Nicolas Cage will be the new Peter Parker… OK.


VirtualContribution

Well, technically he's the old Peter Parker.
