‘Spider-Noir’ Adds Abraham Popoola To Amazon’s Marvel Series
deadline.comAbraham Popoola (Atlas) has been tapped as a series regular opposite Nicolas Cage in Spider-Noir, the upcoming MGM+ and Prime Video live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir.
On the Sony Pictures TV-produced series, which has been renamed from its original title Noir to highlight its Spider-Man universe lineage, Popoola will play a World War I veteran who is looking for an opportunity to get ahead.
In addition to Cage, Popoola joins previously announced Lamorne Morris and Li Jun LI in the series. Spider-Noir, from executive producers/co-showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.
Harry Bradbeer is set to direct, and executive produce the first two episodes of the series, which Uziel and Lightfoot developed with the team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal, who also serve as executive producers.
