Key Points:
- Prime Video released the official full trailer for its upcoming live-action series Spider-Noir at CCXPMX26 in Mexico City, offering both a black-and-white "Raymond Chandler-esque" version and a color "True Hue" version.
- Set in 1930s New York, Spider-Noir follows Ben Reilly, a hard-boiled private investigator with a secret superhero identity, The Spider, voiced by Nicolas Cage; the series diverges from the traditional Peter Parker Spider-Man narrative to fit the noir theme.
- The show blends classic film noir elements with superhero action, described as “70 percent Humphrey Bogart and 30 percent Bugs Bunny,” focusing on a standalone story rather than a connected Marvel universe.
- The cast includes Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Brendan Gleeson, and others, portraying characters from Reilly’s world including friends, foes, and underworld figures like mob boss Silvermane.
- Spider-Noir premieres on May 25, 2026, on MGM+ with all episodes available on Prime Video from May 27, 2026, allowing viewers to watch in either black and white or color formats.
