There are two issues to stay up for on the live-action Spider-Man entrance. In a single nook, Spider-Man: Model-New Day begins filming quickly and is slated for a summer time 2026 launch, persevering with the adventures of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In one other nook, we’ve got the Prime Video sequence Spider-Noir, which stars Nicholas Cage as an older, grizzled model of the Internet-Slinger who’s lively in Thirties New York. The primary official picture and a teaser from the latter challenge is lastly right here, and so they’ve confirmed one huge hope I’ve been having for the upcoming TV present: that it’s fully black and white.
First, try the picture that was shared throughout Amazon’s annual upfronts presentation of Spider-Noir’s title hero. This shall be Cage’s second time portraying Spider-Man Noir, having beforehand voiced him in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse:
One of many major issues that may dictate if a superhero costume appears to be like good in live-action is how trustworthy it’s to the unique look from the comics. Properly, mission achieved right here, as a result of this appears to be like like Spider-Man Noir was ripped immediately from the printed web page and into actual life. I’m particularly into the feel of the masks Nicolas Cage’s character is sporting within the Prime Video subscription-exclusive sequence, and the goggles are additionally very good.
Now, instantly after I noticed this Spider-Noir image, I hoped that the black and white was not only a stylistic selection, and that the sequence itself could be missing in coloration. Fortunately, this was confirmed to be the case not lengthy after, as you’ll see within the beneath teaser video:

This teaser doesn’t actually reveal something that we already knew about Spider-Noir from varied bulletins and studies, however I’m undoubtedly digging the present’s vibe and aesthetic. Most significantly, it was sensible for Prime Video to go black and white for this present as a substitute of coloration. It’s a becoming selection for the Thirties setting and its, effectively, noir tone. On the very least, this helps Spider-Noir visually stand out from different superhero TV exhibits.
It hasn’t been clarified but if the Spider-Man Noir Nicolas Cage is taking part in is Peter Parker or will go by one other title. Regardless, once we meet him, he’ll be a down-on-his-luck non-public investigator who’s put his previous as NYC’s solely superhero behind him, however one thing will spur him again into costumed motion. Cage’s co-stars embody Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson (who’s reportedly taking part in the principle villain), Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez and Jack Huston, amongst others.
Spider-Noir will debut on Prime Video and MGM+ someday in 2026, with Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot serving as its co-showrunners and govt producers. In the meantime, if you happen to’re seeking to get pleasure from different Spider-Man motion pictures and TV exhibits, escape your Disney+ subscription to see what’s accessible on that platform.
