Nicolas Cage Becomes ‘Spider-Noir’ in First Look Trailer


Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

The very first teaser for “Spider-Noir” has leaked online, starring Nicolas Cage as the titular superhero. The teaser is only 30 seconds long, but it uses its time well, giving us a stylistic and impressive view of the show that’s channeling “Sin City” in all the right ways. It was first viewed at Amazon’s upfront presentation. You can watch the teaser below.

The series’ official synopsis reads, “‘Spider-Noir’ is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic ‘Spider-Man Noir’. ‘Spider-Noir’ tells the story of an aging 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.”

While we don’t have a more precise premiere date yet for “Spider-Noir” than 2026, we do know the series will premiere domestically on MGM+ and then internationally on Amazon Prime the next day. The series will also be available to viewers in both black-and-white and color.

“Spider-Noir” stars Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston.

Though “Spider-Noir” marks the first time Nicolas Cage (or anyone for that matter) has played Spider-Man Noir in live-action, he previously voiced the hero in 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. He’s expected to return and reprise the voice role for the third entry in the film series, “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-verse,” which is scheduled to hit theaters June 4, 2027.

This is also not Nicolas Cage’s first Marvel rodeo. Though it wasn’t a part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, Cage starred as the titular fiery-headed hero in 2007’s “Ghost Rider” as well as in the 2011 sequel, “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance”.

Spider-Man Noir first appeared in 2009’s “Spider-Man: Noir” #1, and was created as part of a series of “Noir” transformations of Marvel heroes such as Luke Cage and Iron Man. Spider-Man Noir proved to be the most popular of them all and became a regular fixture in events bringing together all of Spider-Man’s multiverse variants like “Spider-Verse” and “Spider-Geddon”. In fact, Spider-Man Noir was abruptly killed off in the latter event, but was soon resurrected, no doubt in part because of his increased popularity thanks to “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”.
