Nicolas Cage says his new live-action series “Spider-Noir” will offer viewers a distinctive experience, with the option to watch ​it in black and white — “like an old movie” — or in ‌highly saturated color designed to heighten visual intensity. 

According to Reuters, he hopes the noir presentation will engage younger audiences who may be less familiar with black-and-white films.

Film noir, ​a 1940s American style, is known for its cynical protagonists, crime-driven ​plots, and existential themes. 

Cage said he crafted his ⁠performance as the title character, specifically for black and white, calling the ​dual-format release “a little revolutionary.”

The series, developed by Oren Uziel for Prime Video ​and MGM+, is based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man Noir. 

It follows an older, hard-edged Peter Parker — here named Ben Reilly — working as a private investigator ​in 1930s New York while confronting his past.

Cage stars alongside Lamorne ​Morris as newspaper editor Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li as nightclub singer Cat Hardy, ‌and ⁠Brendan Gleeson as Irish mob boss Silvermane.

After being inspired by the character’s popularity in Sony’s animated “Spider-Verse” films by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Uziel was keen to bring the duo on board as producers of “Spider-Noir.”

The series begins streaming on Wednesday ​on Prime Video.
