It needs to be a gripping noir tale oozing with atmosphere, while also being an engaging superhero tale that can do justice to an offbeat, interesting character like Spider-Man Noir.
The 1993 film Red Rock West is a fantastic neo-noir western that typically gets lost in the shuffle of Cage's often larger-than-life performances, but has received considerable praise as a part of the actor's expansive career. One of the biggest reasons Red Rock West is a timeless classic is the way it effortlessly blends genres together. The movie is a neo-noir western with distinctive thriller elements found inside it, and its story makes great use of this combination, showing that the noir genre is perfect for blending into other genres.
In a similar vein to Red Rock West, Noir needs to succeed at two things.

Red Rock West Shows Nicolas Cage's Range Off Well

Aside from understanding and executing the genres it's working within to great success, Red Rock West features an impressively underrated performance from Cage. Nicolas Cage is widely known for his over-the-top antics in films, committing 100% to the material he is given, but his acting range is as impressive as his commitment. Red Rock West allows Cage to show that range in his performance, mixing together both serious and comedic moments without ever having either one feel out of place.
Nicolas Cage has already nailed the Spider-Man Noir character in the Spider-Verse franchise, but there is still space left to explore the concept. Being able to move from animation into live action for this adaptation of Spider-Man Noir will give Cage the chance to show off his range more directly, as well as his understanding of how to act within multiple genres in the same film. It's clear Spider-Man Noir's story is in many ways darker than the traditional Peter Parker narrative, meaning a star who is able to infuse emotion and pathos alongside levity in the series is a must-have.
It's a shame that Red Rock West isn't as well known as some of Nicolas Cage's other films, as it provides a more varied look at his acting talents when compared to many more famous Cage movies. However, Noir's potential success could well mean a spotlight is shined more on the movie, based on their similarities. No set date has been announced for Noir yet, which gives fans waiting for Cage's Spider-Man return plenty of time to watch Red Rock West to prepare for it.
