However, ‘Ben’ is forced to return to his life as ‘The Spider,’ as he is brought face-to-face with ‘Silvermane,’ a mob boss in New York City. ‘Silvermane’ and ‘Ben’ also have a history, which is expected to play an important role in taking the story forward.

Speaking about the lead character ‘Ben,’ showrunner, Oren Uziel, along with producers, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, have once claimed that the series will have a dark tone compared to other storylines involving ‘Spider-Man.’ Oren said that ‘Ben’ is someone who is trying to move on from his past, and people would get to see a different version of him this time. Oren added that ‘Ben’ will get dragged into a fight that he doesn’t want to be a part of, and ‘Ben’s’ confrontation with ‘Silvermane’ will bring him close to his origins.

Spider-Noir will feature multiple actors playing the lead and supporting roles

As mentioned, Nicolas Cage will be appearing as a lead in Spider-Noir. The main antagonist, ‘Silvermane,’ is being portrayed by Brendan Gleeson.
