Sony’s non-Spider-Man efforts to construct its personal Marvel universe have been all over the place, however one of many extra intriguing additions have been particular person TV exhibits for Spider-Man Noir and relative newcomer Silk. Whereas they’re each nonetheless a methods off, the 2 exhibits could also be on reverse ends of the event spectrum: Noir’s present has probably seen some substantial progress, whereas Silk’s collection could have some dangerous luck on its palms.
In keeping with The Ankler, Silk: Spider Society’s writers room was largely ejected by Amazon, save for showrunner Angela Kang, who has a multiyear cope with the studio. The outlet claims the collection will now be retooled with extra of a “male-skewing viewers” in thoughts, much like Prime Video hits like Reacher and The Boys. Earlier than the ejection, the writers room had simply started up again in January after Amazon saved the present (and others) on ice as a result of strikes. Months after the strikes ended, the WGA needed to threaten the streamer with authorized motion if it didn’t let all its writers get again to work. It’s not clear if this overhaul was a response to the so far tepid reactions to Madame Web over the previous couple of days, however you’ll be able to think about that performed a issue into this decisiion.
Conversely, Spider-Man Noir could have discovered its main man: The Ankler equally claims that Nicolas Cage is in “critical talks” to play the Nineteen Thirties alt-reality model of Spider-Man. He’s already voiced the character in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and should return for the eventual Past the Spider-Verse. Provided that Cage simply turned 60, although, we’re doubtless taking a look at a Younger Sheldon-kind deal the place he voices the character’s internal ideas to open or shut an episode as a substitute of suiting up himself.
At time of writing, hasn’t confirmed both bit of reports, however that will change over the following few days (or weeks).
