“Spider-Noir” is an American superhero series set in the aesthetic of a 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 former sole “superhero” of the city. The series is said to tell the story 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 hit the internet, 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 clearly want to give the production a character that will allow it to stand out against the backdrop of repetitive, flashy, but often uniform 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 and a color one. The same material viewed in two interpretations provides entirely different sensations. One features a raw, cinematic atmosphere from decades ago, while the other offers a more contemporary energy. It's a detail that can significantly affect the perception of the entire production.
