(SeaPRwire) – Spider-Noir isn’t exactly a direct spin-off from Sony’s animated Spider-Verse films. Though Nicolas Cage debuted as a monochrome Peter Parker variant in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this live-action reimagining reworks the character into Ben Reilly—an entirely distinct figure. This technicality blurs the connection between the 2018 movie and Prime Video’s upcoming series, yet it hasn’t dampened enthusiasm for other stories inspired by that shared universe.
According to Spider-Noir co-showrunner Oren Uziel, the new series has paved the way for more Spider-Verse spin-offs. “I’m focused on Spider-Noir, but I know there are other projects in development,” Uziel recently told the latest issue of SFX Magazine (via Games Radar). While a few have already been tentatively announced—like a Spider-Punk film co-written by actor Daniel Kaluuya—it seems Sony has ambitious plans to expand the Spider-Verse far beyond its current movies.
“I’ve had some conversations with the teams working on them, and I think they’re really exciting,” Uziel continued. Per the showrunner, these spin-offs will follow “a bit of the same formula” that Spider-Noir is introducing. The new series is essentially a 1940s detective story with “a Spider-variant” woven into it, and we can apparently expect a similar approach for subsequent projects.
What this could mean for the Spider-Punk film is anyone’s guess, but it’s easy to imagine a blend of Marvel’s 2022 Spider-Punk comic series and a more subdued Gregg Araki-style movie. Other Spider-variants might get the same treatment: in an ideal scenario, Sony could be developing a Magical Girl Anime led by Peni Parker, a Looney Tunes-esque romp starring Spider-Pig, or a Bollywood epic centered on Spider-Man India.
According to Uziel, the fact that multiple such projects are in the works makes this one of Sony’s most exciting recent announcements. A “whole new world” is taking shape; while the mainline Spider-Verse films are approaching their conclusion, the multiverse they created shows no signs of slowing down.
Spider-Noir debuts on Prime Video on May 27.
