Live Action 'Spider-Man Noir' series in development at Amazon
"Spider-Man Noir", a black-and-white version of the superhero inspired by pulp explorers from the 1930s, is slated to appear in his own live-action TV series on Amazon.
In 1930s New York City, the untitled series will follow an older, grizzled superhero. The show will be set in its own universe according to a source, and Peter Parker won't be the main character.

This is the second project based on Sony-controlled Marvel characters that will be available on MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video. Several additional shows are in the works, and it was recently revealed that Amazon was pushing forward with the show "Silk: Spider Society" from creator Angela Kang. Sony owns more than 900 of these Spider-Man-related characters, but it's not clear yet which other Marvel characters will show up in the other Amazon shows.
In 2009, Marvel's Noir universe launched with the first issue of the Spider-Man Noir comics. This Spider-Man character, who lives in 1930s New York City, was bitten by a spider that was concealed inside a stolen relic. He then sees visions of a spider god bestowing superpowers on him.
