Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will swing into theaters next month after years of anticipation. To the disappointment of many fans, Spider-Man Noir won't be hanging onto the web.However, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, who developed the Spider-Verse, have confirmed that a live-action television series based on the character is still in the works.
The filmmaking duo made this revelation during a recent interview with Collider about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
When Steven Weintraub, the duo's interviewer, quizzed them about the project, Lord responded with a simple "Yes." Miller, on the other hand, provided more information on its status. He stated, "It was [in development] until the writers' strike and everything shut down. But once that gets resolved, we'll get back into it. But it's coming along nicely."
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the first film of the animated Spider-Verse, saw the protagonist, Miles Morales, take on Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin. However, to defeat him, he needed the help of other Spider-Men from across the multiverse.
Enter Spider-Man Noir – a version of the character from the 1930s portrayed by Nicolas Cage. Together with Peni Parker, Peter B. Parker, and Spider-Ham, they help Morales master his newly acquired Spidey powers, defeat Kingpin, and bring him to justice.
