Derived from animated films Into the Spider-Versethe new live-action series Spider-Black will put Nicolas Cage in the costume of the 1930s version of the superhero, dark and tortured. A series produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios which has just started filming.

The first photos have leaked on the Internet and show Nicolas Cage in a trench coat, leading the investigation.

Above all, another shot shows a page from the Daily Buggle newspaper, the emblematic title of the Spider-Man saga (the one where Peter Parker would work decades later). We can read on the first page: Silvermane survived in his underwear!

The Marvel Comics character actually appeared for the first time in Amazing Spider-Man in 1969. Sivermane is Silvio Manfredi, a criminal from Sicily and a godfather of the Maggia. Silvermane's body was gradually transformed into a cyborg, a metallic body possessing superhuman strength.
