While the cold slowly sets in, as the spirit of the Christmas holidays prepares to politely chase away the morbid atmosphere of Halloween (“and then we change the time!” but yes, the blood, well seen), on the Hollywood side we are currently preparing next year's releases. And if this year was generally focused on animation, live-action productions should make a comeback in 2025: Superman, Daredevil : Born Again, Fantastic Four : First Steps… but also Spider-Black. A kind of anomaly in the catalog, in that, apart from a vague link with the franchise Spider-Versethis product does not seem to be part of a shared universe objective. The title also doesn't seem to resemble the rest of the productions Sony Pictures on the brand Spider-Man. And then, the hero is played by an old man who has hung up the costume.
Old Man Spider-Noir
Interesting information to consider: from the start, the teams from Sony TV et Prime Videowho are developing this adaptation based on the character of Spider-Man Blackexplain to us that the Peter Parker of this reality gave up his dual identity to become a simple private detective in civilian life. And just this week, new filming photos could be seen on the web. Stupor, tremors: the costume is obviously on the program of the series. Nicolas Cage will therefore be able to fulfill an old personal dream, and fans have something to reassure themselves: the design is generally based on that of the films Spider-Verse (himself already quite close to the comics Spider-Man Blackwith an extra hat and a few less details) and the character even reproduces the famous shape of the spidery hands in one of the photographs.
In short, we can therefore interpret these images as a clear signal: the hero of Spider-Blackit's called Peter Parker or not Peter Parker, will return to service during the series, on the occasion of a new affair. It's stupid to say, but yes, it was crucial to clarify it: we remember that at the beginning of the year, we sold the film to fans Madame Web on the basis of a team up of Spider-Women…while the costumes highlighted during the promotional campaign were only present in a fantasy sequence and for less than two minutes of screen time. We are talking about Sony Picturesthere. The possibility of fraud can never be ruled out with these guys.
That being said, with these new images, an ambitious cast and a competent creative team, the series Spider-Black is gradually emerging as one of the potential good surprises of next year.
