Prime Video’s Spider-Noir just unveiled two versions of the same trailer: one in “Authentic Black & White” and the other in “True-Hue Full Color.” The series, which marks Nicolas Cage’s first headlining TV role, will be available to stream in both formats.
The live-action series is based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir and is set in a stand-alone universe, meaning it’s not tied to any of the Sony or Marvel films. In addition to Cage, the cast includes Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Abraham Popoola, Karen Rodriguez, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson. Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Caldwell, Amy Aquino, Andrew Robinson, and Kai Caster guest star.
Spider-Noir premieres on MGM+’s linear channel on May 25, 2026, and Prime Video on May 27.
“Spider-Noir tells the story of Ben Reilly (Cage), a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life following a deeply personal tragedy as the city’s one and only superhero,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis.
Prime Video offered the following character descriptions:
● Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage) – Back in the day, Ben Reilly was the superhero known as “The Spider.” After a personal tragedy, he stepped away from his heroic alter ego. Only an extraordinary case could call this down-on-his-luck private investigator to drop the ordinary man act and put his mask back on. (Note: This Ben is not the same iteration of the character who appeared in Into the Spider-Verse.)
● Robbie Robertson (Lamorne Morris) – A dedicated journalist trying to make it in 1930s New York with the odds stacked against him. He is willing to do whatever is necessary for his career as well as his best friend, Ben.
● Cat Hardy (Li Jun Li) – The star attraction at the premiere nightclub in New York. It may seem like she is always looking out for herself, but the truth is more complex than meets the eye.
● Janet (Karen Rodriguez) – Smart, scrappy, and loyal secretary to Ben Reilly. She wants to help her boss and his small business become successful, and she has zero problem speaking truth to power.
Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot developed the series with Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. Uziel and Lightfoot serve as co-showrunners and executive produce along with Lord, Miller, Pascal, Nicolas Cage, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear, and Pavlina Hatoupis.
The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video.
