Spider-Noir brings together two of our favorite things: Spider-Man and Nicolas Cage. If you liked the Spider-Verse films, you’d see Cage voicing Spider-Noir. Now, he’s playing the character in live-action for Prime Video. Although, this character is not the same one as from that film. Spider-Noir is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. Spider-Noir tells the story of Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a seasoned, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city’s one and only superhero.
The cast includes Emmy Award®-winning actor Lamorne Morris (Fargo, New Girl)), Li Jun Li (Sinners, Babylon), Karen Rodriguez (The Hunting Wives, Acapulco), Abraham Popoola (Atlas, Slow Horses), with SAG Award®-winning actor Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire, Day of The Fight), and Emmy Award®-winning and Academy Award®-nominated actor Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, Harry Potter). Guest star cast includes 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.

Spider-Noir is produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video. Emmy Award®-winning director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) directed, and executive produced the first two episodes. Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s The Punisher, Shantaram) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series with the Academy Award®-winning team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. Lord and Miller executive produce for their shingle Lord Miller along with Aditya Sood and Dan Shear. Amy Pascal also serves as an executive producer via Pascal Pictures. Cage and Pavlina Hatoupis also serve as executive producers.
What’s Next For Spider-Man?
There are plenty of Spider-Man projects in the works or in production right now. We’ve got Spider-Noir, obviously, but there’s also Spider-Man: Brand New Day coming in July from Marvel Studios, and there’s Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse coming in 2027 from Sony Pictures. So it’s a pretty good time to be a Spider fan.
Spider-Noir releases on Prime Video on May 27th, 2026. For the first time here, fans watching will get to choose to stream the show in either “Authentic Black & White” or “True-Hue Full Color”. Viewers can watch and enjoy in both ways to get a different visual style.
