Sony's latest Spider-Man will look very different from his predecessors.
Few super-heroes are as recognizable as Spider-Man. The character’s red and blue costume with its big black and white bug-like eyes has appeared in every show and movie about the wall crawler. Until now.
In a bid to beat super-hero fatigue following a deluge of films over decades, Sony Pictures Television has produced Spider-Noir, a fresh spin on Spider-Man which was released yesterday on Amazon’s Prime Video and MGM+ platforms.
Set in an edgy alternate-reality 1930s New York City, the streaming series has a black and white viewing option for authenticity. However, even its color version doesn’t feature the web spinner’s trademark suit and that’s not all. Unlike all the other live-action Spider-Man productions, its hero’s real name isn’t even Peter Parker and there is good reason for this.
Viewers can choose to watch 'Spider-Noir' in black and white for extra 1930s authenticity.
