Jack Huston is the latest addition to the cast of Amazon’s upcoming series, Spider-Noir. More on the casting below.
Amazon’s Spider-Noir series is coming together nicely as more casting news emerges. The latest to join the line-up is British actor Jack Huston (House Of Gucci, TV’s Ben-Hur and Fargo), who Deadline believes is playing a bodyguard.
Huston (pictured above as the character Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire) will be joining Nicolas Cage, Brendan Gleeson and Lamorne Morris in the series, which is heading to Amazon’s MGM+ before debuting globally on Prime Video.
Cage will reprise his role as the titular Spider-Man variant from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse in which he voiced the character. Spider-Noir was immediately a fan favourite and Cage admitted earlier this year that he was having discussions about reprising the role in a live-action project. Spider-Noir came together quickly after that with an official announcement landing in May.
Gleeson is believed to be playing the series’ main villain, and if Huston does indeed play a bodyguard, could he be guarding Gleeson? We won’t know for some time still.
The news of Huston’s casting comes only a day after rumours began flying around about production troubles with Spider-Man: Beyond Spider-Verse, the third film in the franchise.
Industry insider Jeff Sneider reported that much of the film had been scrapped and Beyond would be delayed again. The film was originally supposed to hit cinemas in March 2024, but it was removed from Sony’s release date calendar in July 2023 after it was reported the film would not meet its ambitious deadline.
Beyond’s composer Daniel Pemberton and producer Chris Miller both assured fans on social media that nothing had been scrapped and that production was underway. There’s still no release date, but we’re hoping to have an update on that soon.
