In the new series for MGM+/Amazon Prime Video, Cage will shape the character he began playing in the Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.
In the eight-episode series, Cage will play an elderly, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to deal with his past life as the city’s only superhero.
This role will mark the Academy Award winner’s first regular television role.
