Spider-Noir: Andrew Lewis Caldwell Joins Nicolas Cage-Starring Series
Sony Pictures TV and Amazon MGM Studios' Nicolas Cage-starring Spider-Noir has reportedly cast Andrew Lewis Caldwell in a recurring role.
As filming rolls along on Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios' upcoming Nicolas Cage-starring Spider-Noir (as we've seen from the set images that have hit social media), we've got some new casting news to pass along. Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Andrew Lewis Caldwell (The Matrix Resurrections) has joined the cast in a recurring role (though no details on the character were released). Along with Cage and Caldwell, the series also stars Lamorne Morris (Fargo, Saturday Night), Brendan Gleeson (Mr. Mercedes, The Banshees of Inisherin), Li Jun Li (Wu Assassins), Abraham Popoola (Atlas, Slow Horses), Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire, Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches), and Karen Rodriguez (Swarm, Shining Girls). In addition, Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, and Amanda Schull have been cast in recurring roles.
Here's a look at what Gleeson had to share about his character back in October during an interview on the red carpet for the LA premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux,
Cage plays an aging and down-on-his-luck 1930s New York private investigator who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city's one and only superhero. Morris's Robbie Robertson is a driven, hard-working man who won't take no for an answer, a dedicated journalist trying to make it with the odds stacked against him as a black professional in 1930s New York. He takes on riskier stories that no one else would touch in order to catch attention and a paycheck. He is willing to do whatever is necessary for his career. Gleeson has reportedly been tapped to play the series' villain, though specific details are being kept under wraps. Li will reportedly play a singer at the premier nightclub in New York. Popoola reportedly plays a World War I veteran who is looking for an opportunity to get ahead. Details on additional characters weren't released with the respective casting news.
Series co-developers Oren Uziel & Steve Lightfoot also serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal also co-developed the series and will serve as executive producers (Pascal, via Pascal Pictures) – with Harry Bradbeer executive-producing and directing the first two episodes. Spider-Noir will debut domestically on MGM+'s linear channel – with a global launch from Prime Video to follow.
