Sony Pictures and Amazon’s Prime Video have released the official trailer for Spider-Noir, offering a detailed look at Nicolas Cage portraying Ben Reilly in the upcoming live-action series. The trailer debuted during a CCXP 2026 panel in Mexico City, marking the first full-length preview of the show ahead of its scheduled release.
The two-minute video establishes Ben Reilly as a seasoned private investigator navigating the shadows of 1930s Recent York City, approached by Cat Hardy (Li Jun Li) with a missing person case that pulls him into a web of superpowered threats. Footage shows Cage swinging through period-accurate cityscapes, using web-based tactics to subdue goons, and confronting villains including Sandman (Jack Huston), Megawatt (Andrew Lewis Caldwell), and Tombstone (Abraham Popoola), with Brendan Gleeson’s Silvermane positioned as a central antagonistic force.
Spider-Noir is developed as a standalone project by co-showrunners and executive producers Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, with Phil Lord and Chris Miller serving as executive producers alongside Amy Pascal. The series is based on the Marvel Comics imprint Spider-Man Noir, which reimagines the superhero in a Depression-era setting marked by moral ambiguity and gritty crime-solving.
An official description characterizes Ben Reilly as “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 series will feature Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson and Karen Rodriguez as Janet, expanding the supporting cast beyond the central mystery.
Viewers will have the option to watch the series in two distinct visual modes: “Authentic Black & White,” designed to emulate the aesthetic of 1930s film, or “True-Hue Full Color,” offering a modern chromatic presentation. This dual-format approach was highlighted during the CCXP Mexico 2026 panel, where both versions of the trailer were unveiled.
The series is set to premiere on MGM+’s linear channel on May 25, 2026, followed by its debut on Amazon Prime Video on May 27, 2026. These dates were confirmed as part of the announcement surrounding the trailer release and CCXP appearance.
Produced under a collaboration between Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, Spider-Noir represents a notable expansion of Marvel’s live-action television offerings outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The involvement of Lord and Miller, known for their work on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Pascal, a longtime producer of Spider-Man films, underscores the project’s creative pedigree.
As anticipation builds ahead of the spring premiere, the trailer has generated attention for its tonal shift from conventional superhero narratives, emphasizing detective work, period authenticity, and psychological depth. The series aims to explore themes of identity, trauma, and justice through the lens of a hardened investigator operating in a corrupt, superpowered underworld.
For ongoing updates, official announcements regarding Spider-Noir can be monitored through the verified channels of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios, with further details expected as the May release window approaches.
