Sony’s live-action Spider-Man Noir series has taken on Steve Lightfoot as co-showrunner, a name that might be familiar to Marvel fans.

If you didn’t know a Spider-Man Noir series was in development, the show was first reported back in February, and is set to follow an older, more grizzly superhero in 1930s New York. Apparently the show isn’t planned to be set in the same universe as any of Sony’s other Spider-projects, and the protagonist won’t actually be a version of Peter Parker, unlike 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse. Nicolas Cage played that iteration of the alternate universe superhero, though there’s no word on who’ll be playing the live action version. Into the Spider-Verse’s producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are also serving as executive producers on the show, alongside former Sony boss Amy Pascal.

In the meantime, if you’re craving some Spider-Man Noir action right now, you could always try and unlock his outfit in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 .
