‘Spider-Noir’: Prime Video Unveils Full Trailer for Nicolas Cage Noir Series

After introducing moviegoing audiences to a 1930s film noir take on Marvel’s most famous web-slinger in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Nicolas Cage is bringing the hard-boiled superhero gumshoe to the small screen in the new series Spider-Noir. 

The screen legend brings his signature “mega-acting” to Prime Video in a new Marvel series, based on the original comic created by writers David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, and artist Carmine Di Giandomenico. Introduced to a wider audience in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Cage’s Spider-Noir became a fan-favorite thanks to his pulpy, hard-boiled edge given to him by the actor, standing in stark contrast to more traditional versions of the hero.

So what else is there to know about Spider-Noir? Here’s a look.

When does Spider-Noir premiere?

The live-action Spider-Noir series, starring Nicolas Cage, will consist of eight episodes. The series is expected to drop all episodes at once as a binge release on Prime Video on May 27, 2026, following a premiere of the first episode on MGM+ on May 25, 2026.

Who stars in Spider-Noir?

Cage stars in the series as Ben Reilly, a private investigator in 1930s New York, who becomes The Spider. He is joined in the cast by Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston as series regulars. Guest-starring in the show are 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.

In a featurette video from Prime Video about the series’ villains, it was confirmed that Gleeson will play Silvermane and Huston will play a version of Flint Marko, also known as Sandman. Popoola takes on Tombstone in an interpretation that “links the classic character to a grounded story,” while Caldwell will portray the electrifying Megawatt/Dirk.
