Prime Video has officially dropped the first trailer for Spider-Noir, a bold new live-action series starring Nicolas Cage in his first leading TV role. Produced by Sony Pictures Television, the hotly anticipated Marvel adaptation lands globally on 27 May 2026, streaming in more than 240 countries and territories.
In a unique twist, viewers will be able to experience the series in two distinct formats: “Authentic Black & White” for a classic noir feel, or “True-Hue Full Colour” for a modern visual take.
A global debut at CCXPMX26
The official trailer made its world premiere at CCXPMX26, hosted at the Centro Banamex Convention Centre. The panel drew a crowd of over 2,100 fans, cementing the show’s early buzz as one of the biggest upcoming releases in streaming.
Cast members including Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Jack Huston and Karen Rodriguez joined creator Oren Uziel on stage, unveiling an extended scene and sharing insight into the show’s tone and direction. Fans were also treated to a special video message from Cage himself.
What is Spider-Noir about?
Based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Noir takes audiences into a gritty 1930s New York.
The series follows Ben Reilly (Cage), a worn-down private investigator forced to confront his past after a deeply personal tragedy—while secretly operating as the city’s only superhero. Expect a darker, more introspective take on the Spider-Man mythos, blending crime drama with superhero storytelling.
Full cast and creative team
Alongside Cage, the ensemble cast includes:
- Brendan Gleeson
- Abraham Popoola
- Guest appearances from Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Amanda Schull and more
Behind the camera, the series boasts serious pedigree. Emmy-winning director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) helms the first two episodes.
Co-showrunners Uziel and Steve Lightfoot developed the series alongside the Oscar-winning team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse—Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Amy Pascal.
Spider-Noir marks a significant shift in superhero storytelling on streaming—leaning into genre, style, and audience choice. With its dual-format viewing experience and noir-inspired narrative, the series could set a new standard for how comic book adaptations are consumed.
