Spider-Man Noir Series at Amazon Enlists ‘The Punisher’s’ Steve Lightfoot as Co-Showrunner (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comJoe Otterson TV Reporter The Spider-Man Noir live-action series in the works at Amazon has brought on Steve Lightfoot as co-showrunner, Variety has learned exclusively.
The show was first reported to be in the works at Amazon back in February. Oren Uziel is the writer on the project and will serve alongside Lightfoot as co-showrunner and executive producer.
As previously reported, the untitled series will follow an older, grizzled superhero in 1930s New York City. An individual with knowledge of the project says that the show will be set in its own universe and the main character will not be Peter Parker.
This is not Lightfoot’s first foray into the Marvel world. He previously developed and served as showrunner on “The Punisher” Netflix series starring Jon Bernthal, which ran for two seasons before Disney decided to pull back all Marvel content onto their own streaming platforms.
