After charming audiences in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its 2023 sequel (albeit in the post credits), Spider-Man Noir is set to swing into their hearts again in Prime Video’s upcoming live-action series Spider-Noir. The Nicolas Cage-led project, first announced in February 2023, is now slated for premiere in 2026, with Amazon releasing a first look at the actor in the hero’s iconic costume.
The black-and-white image brings the hallmarks of the suit worn by his animated counterpart to life, including a fedora, white goggles, black webbed mask, and trench coat. While the look draws from the 2018 movie, the series is based on the comic books tracing back to 2009, telling the story of “an ageing and down-on-his-luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”
Joining Cage, reprising his voice role as the titular webslinger, are Lamorne Morris (New Girl) as Robbie Robertson, Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) as a mob boss, Abraham Popoola (The Rig) as a World War I veteran, Li Jun Li (Babylon) as a nightclub singer, and Jack Huston (Ben-Hur) as a bodyguard. Notable guest stars include Lukas Haas (Inception), Cameron Britton (The Umbrella Academy), Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff (The Wire), Scott MacArthur (The Mick), Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull (Pretty Little Liars), Andrew Caldwell (College), Amy Aquino (ER), Andrew Robinson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and Kai Caster.
Harry Bradbeer of Fleabag and Killing Eve fame is directing and executive producing the first two episodes, with Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot, best known for his work on Marvel’s The Punisher, serving as co-showrunners and executive producers. Original Into the Spider-verse trio Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal are also onboard the development process.
Spider-Noir crawls to the small screen in 2026 and will stream in both black and white and in colour.
