Awesome Full Trailer For SPIDER-NOIR Features Nicolas Cage's Hard-Boiled Spider-Man in Action
Prime Video just rolled out the full trailer for Spider-Noir, and this series looks pretty awesome. The series is bringing a gritty, stylized take on Marvel’s web-slinger that leans hard into pulpy noir storytelling, and I’m loving the who vibe of it!
The show pulls from the 2009 comic Spider-Man: Noir and gives us a very different version of Spider-Man. Instead of a young hero figuring things out, this story follows an older, worn-down version of the character.
Nicolas Cage steps into the role of Ben Reilly, also known as The Spider, a private investigator in 1930s New York who left his superhero life behind after a personal tragedy. Of course, things don’t stay buried forever, and he’s forced to confront who he used to be.
As you know, this version of the character popped up in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where Cage’s voice performance instantly became a fan favorite. Now he’s fully embodying that world in live-action, and the trailer shows off a slick mix of shadowy cinematography, old-school crime drama energy, and superhero action.
The supporting cast is stacked with talent, including Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, Brendan Gleeson as Silvermane, and Jack Huston as Flint Marko. They’re joined by Karen Rodriguez, Lukas Haas, Abraham Popoola, Andrew Lewis Caldwell, and Jack Mikesell.
The series comes from Oren Uziel, who developed the show alongside Steve Lightfoot, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. The creative team has some serious range, with credits spanning everything from action-heavy blockbusters to character-driven stories. Episodes are directed by Harry Bradbeer.
The official synopsis reads: “Spider-Noir tells the story of Ben Reilly (starring Nicolas Cage), an aging and down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his previous life as the city's one and only superhero.”
Their are two versions of the show to watch. There is the black-and-white presentation along with a color option.
Spider-Noir premieres on Prime Video on May 27, 2026, and this looks like it’s going to kick ass. A darker, older Spider-Man story with this kind of style isn’t something we get often, and it feels like they really committed to making it stand out.
