According to a Deadline report, this upcoming TV show will have Sony Pictures Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios producing it. This will feature no involvement from Marvel Studios. According to the official description, it stars Nicolas Cage as an aging detective in 1930s New York City. This tells us that the show will focus on the story of Spider-Man Noir, previously played by Nicolas Cage in the Spider-Verse films, now reprising his role in a live-action series.

Is Prime Video’s Spider-Man Noir series canon to Sony’s Venom Universe?

No one else could bring such pathos, pain, and heart to this singular character.
