Unlike most superhero stories, Prime Video’s Spider-Noir doesn’t begin to weave its tale with a traditional origin story. Instead, audiences are dropped smack dab into the middle of Ben Reilly’s (Nicolas Cage) midlife crisis, long after the thrill of masks and heroics has faded. Haunted by his failure to save his main squeeze Ruby, Ben is attempting to redefine himself.

TV Insider spoke to showrunner Oren Uziel about the “resetting” and why starting with a worn-down, slightly-busted Ben Reilly was the right way to unlock the character.
