Nicolas Cage looks mysterious while dressed in character as he shoots upcoming Spider-Noir series in LA

Nicolas Cage was spotted looking mysterious while filming his upcoming series Spider-Noir in Los Angeles.

The 60-year-old actor — who has previously been married five times — was in costume as his character Spider-Man Noir donning a forest green overcoat, fedora and gray suit while walking in a crowded street.

On Monday, he was spotted eating a H๏τ dog on set while filming beside various vintage cars as he channeled his role of a private investigator in 1930s.

The highly anticipated film is slated to follow Cage’s character’s life as he relearns to navigate life as former superhero trying to come to terms with his past.

He  previously took on the role of Spider-Man Noir — the ‘dark’ version of the beloved Spider-Man most are familiar with — back in 2018 while voicing the character for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

His eerie themed ensemble bore a striking resemblance to Humphrey Bogart, whom he previously claimed to be one of his primary influences while playing the character via voiceover in 2018.

‘I tried to channel those noir films with Bogart, and have those kinds of sounds that he might make with [James] Cagney, or Edward G. Robinson, that kind of way of talking,’ he told ET at the time.

It was announced this May that Cage had been tapped to star in Noir, a live-action serious about the character he previously only played as a cartoon.

The logline describes the show as being about ‘an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero,’ via Variety.

Cage, a longtime movie star who won an Oscar for his 1995 turn in Leaving Las Vegas, has never been a regular on a TV series before.

Two months before the new show was officially announced, he dished that he was toying with the idea of playing Spider-Man Noir on the small screen.

‘Well, I can say that we have been talking. It’s no secret that I love the character. I think the character provides another mashup of sorts,’ he spilled.

‘I can combine my favorite golden age performances; Robinson, Cagney, Bogart, with a character that is, I guess, widely considered Stan Lee’s masterpiece,’ he said.

‘I see it as a kind of foray into a pop art mashup of, sort of a Jungian, Lichtenstein, mashup by way of Bogart and Cagney, but nothing’s definitive yet. It’s just conversation,’ he told Collider at the time.

He drew widespread praise earlier this year for his villainous role in the horror movie Longlegs, which became a social media sensation.

The movie was written and directed by Osgood Perkins, the son of Anthony Perkins, who played the murderer Norman Bates in the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho.

Longlegs stars Maika Monroe as an FBI agent on the hunt for a serial killer (Cage) who leaves a note that reads: ‘LONGLEGS,’ with the corpse of each of his victims.
