All about ‘Noir’, the Spider-Man Noir live-action series and its plot
Set in the backdrop of 1930s New York City, the narrative for this live-action series will circle around the life of an older superhero. As media reports suggest, the series will be set in its own universe and will NOT feature Peter Parker donning the lead role. Additionally, fans are also wondering which other characters might feature in this new project.
Moreover, the show will have the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as its showrunners. Orien Uziel will also be a part of the pre-production team. A former Sony executive, Amy Pascal will also be a part of the project.

More about Sony’s Spider-Man Noir and what’s in store for fans
It must also be noted that Sony’s Spider-Man universe isn’t a part of the MCU. Steve Lightfoot (The Punisher) and Oren Uziel (22 Jump Street) will serve as showrunners, while Henry Bradbeer (Fleabag) will direct the first 2 episodes.
In the Spider-Man comics, the Noir character exists in a parallel universe where Peter Parker is a private detective. He also features in Spider-Verse, the popular animated movie franchise, where he is portrayed as a ‘goofy’ character.
Fans are also curious to see whether Sony reimagines (and if so, how?) or sticks to the original character arc of Spider-Man Noir.
Regardless of Sony’s decision, one thing’s for sure, fans cannot wait to watch Spider-Man Noir in action again.
