Fans of drinking egg creams and punching Nazis rejoice — our first official look at Spider-Noir is here. Two years after the Spider-Man Noir live-action series was announced, and almost a year to the day since we got confirmation that Nicolas Cage would be reprising his Spider-Verse role for the Prime Video series, Amazon used its 2025 Upfront presentation last night to unveil a monochrome teaser shot of Cage suited up in fedora and billowing trench coat. Check it out below;
While Cage's live-action take on Peter Benjamin Parker's period web-head is the spitting image of Sony Pictures Animation's version of the character, right down to the white goggles, this show and those movies' Spider-Verses are two separate entities. Co-showrunners Oren Uziel (The Lost City) and Steve Lightfoot's (Hannibal) Spider-Noir will take its cues from the Spider-Man Noir comic books, telling "the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero." And in an intriguing development, Amazon has confirmed that said story will be available to viewers both in Spider-Man Noir appropriate black-and-white and colour, too, offering audiences two distinct way to watch Cage dispatch hard-boiled turtle-slappers.
As previously confirmed, Cage will be joined in Spider-Noir by an exciting ensemble including Lamorne Morris as journo Robbie Robertson, Brendan Gleeson and Jack Huston as a mob boss and bodyguard respectively, and Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, and Karen Rodriguez. Beyond those casting tidbits and the official logline, we also know — thanks to a New Yorker profile on a loose-lipped Cage — that the show, developed alongside Spider-Verse gurus Phil Lord and Chris Miller, is most likely going to comprise eight 45-minute episodes, boast its own array of monsters, and carry a Roy Lichtenstein style pop art style. Frankly, the series' 2026 release can't come soon enough; wherever Spider-Noir goes, we'll follow.
