“Spider-Noir” is an American superhero series set in the aesthetic of film noir, created by Oren Uziel for the MGM+ platform. The production is based on Marvel comics and focuses on a version of the hero known as Spider-Man Noir. At the center of the story is an aging private detective trying to survive in the brutal New York of the 1930s, grappling with his own past as the city’s former sole “superhero.” The series is set to tell the tale of the fall of a legend, personal reckonings, and a world where justice is more often a myth than a real force.
Debut this year?
The premiere of “Spider-Noir” is scheduled for this year on Amazon Prime Video, so the platform is gradually starting to build interest. The first official stills from the series have made their way online, and they clearly show the project's ambitions. The images suggest a distinctly outlined style, based on a heavy atmosphere and refined aesthetics. The creators evidently want to give the production a character that allows it to stand out against the backdrop of repetitive, spectacular, but often homogeneous superhero stories.
One of the more interesting ideas is the way the series is presented. The creators have prepared two versions of the image – a classic black-and-white version and a colour one. The same material viewed in two different styles provides completely different feelings. One features a raw, cinematic atmosphere from decades ago, while the other has a more contemporary energy. This detail can significantly impact the reception of the entire production.
