Spider-Noir review: Nicolas Cage plays Spider-Man with Batman jadedness, Wolverine trauma | Web-series News

5 min readMumbaiUpdated: May 29, 2026 09:09 PM IST When Nicolas Cage first voiced Spider-Noir in Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s 2018 Oscar-winning animated Marvel movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, he wouldn’t have known that he’d be playing the same character in a full-blown live-action world, eight years later. It’s developed by Oren Uziel, best known for his collaboration as a screenwriter with Lord and Miller on 22 Jump Street (2014). Right at the outset, Cage’s voiceover makes it clear that the spin-off series on Spider-Noir is not a stepping stone in the expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but a world unto its own: “Years ago, somebody asked me which universe I belong to.

Who is Tombstone? The Spider-Man villain taking over amid Marvel’s Spider-Noir craze

If you have been watching Spider-Noir on Prime Video and wondering who the intimidating, hard-skinned character Lonnie is, that is Tombstone, one of Spider-Man’s most enduring villains, and he is having quite a moment right now. Spider-Noir has brought Tombstone back into the spotlight. (X/ @SpiderMan_Newz) Tombstone, whose real name is Lonnie Lincoln, first appeared in the 1987 comic Web of Spider-Man #36, created by writer Gerry Conway and artist Alex Saviuk, according to Polygon. In the comics, he is typically portrayed as an albino African American gangster who got into crime early, extorting fellow students for protection money back in high school. He also has a long-running grudge against journalist Joseph Robertson, a former classmate who once tried to expose his crimes, a relationship that several adaptations have leaned into heavily. In the original comics, Tombstone was first shown as a huge and intimidating man without any superpowers. Later, he gained super strength and almost indestructible skin after being exposed to an experimental gas created by Oscorp. Besides fighting Spider-Man, he has also been …

Spider-Noir review: Weirdly charming Nicolas Cage is cherry on top in fun, vintage whodunnit disguised as superhero show

Spider-Noir Creator: Oren Uziel Cast: Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, Brendan Gleeson Spider-Noir review: Nicolas Cage is the not-so-friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. Rating: ★★★★ There are moments in Spider-Noir, Oren Uziel’s insane attempt at merging the superhero and noir thriller genre, that you forget you are watching a modern show based on a Marvel superhero.

What is even more praiseworthy is how the show manages to blend two diverse genres so cohesively that fans of either will be happy, and the rare cross-section that is fans of both will be overjoyed. What is Spider-Noir, really? Spider-Noir is based on the Spider-Man Noir character from Marvel Comics, whom we first saw on the big screen in the animated film Into the …
