‘Spider-Noir’: Jack Huston Joins Amazon’s Marvel Series

Jack Huston (Expats, Boardwalk Empire) will star 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.

From executive producers/co-showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot and Sony Pictures TV, Spider-Noir 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.

Huston is believed to be playing a bodyguard. Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, and Li Jun Li also star in the series.

Spider-Noir is produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video. Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) is set to direct, and executive produce the first two episodes. Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s The Punisher, Shantaram) will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.

Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series with the Academy Award-winning team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Amy Pascal. Lord and Miller executive produce for their shingle Lord Miller. Amy Pascal will also serve as an executive producer via Pascal Pictures. Spider-Noir will debut domestically on MGM+’s linear channel and globally on Prime Video.

Huston most recently starred in Lulu Wang’s Limited Series Expats for Prime Video. He currently stars in the AMC series Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches.

He recently made his directorial debut with the film, Day of the Fight, starring Michael Pitt, Ron Perlman and Joe Pesci. The film, which Huston also wrote and co-produced under his CYSA Films banner, tells the story of a once-successful boxer who journeys through his past and present on the day of his first fight since leaving prison. Day of the Fight will be released theatrically in Los Angeles and New York on November 15th and then will continue platforming until it’s expanded nationwide in mid-December.

Additional credits include American Hustle, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman.

He is repped by CAA, 111 Media and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
