‘Spider-Noir’ First Look Teaser: Nic Cage Leads ’30s-Set Amazon Superhero Series Coming In 2026

Sony Pictures has hit the pause button on their “Spider-Man” spinoff projects exploring various heroes and villains from the pages of Marvel Comics. In the meantime, Sony Television and Amazon MGM Studios have teamed on a live-action superhero series, “Spider-Noir,” starring Nicolas Cage as his “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” character.

There is finally an update as Amazon Prime Video has sent a first look image of Cage in costume as the titular variant superhero to share. This comes after some impressive set photos were making the rounds a while back with Cage and his stunt double on the top of 30s-era vehicles in some elaborate action sequence.

The period Marvel series led by Cage also features Lamorne Morris (“Fargo”), Brendan Gleeson (“Gangs of New York”), Abraham Popoola (“Atlas”), Li Jun Li (“Sinners”), Karen Rodriguez (“Swarm”), and Jack Huston (“Boardwalk Empire”). Along with guest stars such as 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.

An official logline for the show via Amazon:

“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.

Director Harry Bradbeer (“Fleabag,” “Killing Eve”) is set to direct and executive produce the first two episodes with Oren Uziel (“The Lost City,” “22 Jump Street”) and Steve Lightfoot (“The Punisher”) set as co-showrunners and executive producers. Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series with the Oscar-winning “Spider-Verse” team of Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal.

On the feature film front, Sony and Marvel Studios are deep in the casting process for Destin Daniel Cretton’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” which will star Tom Holland, Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”), and Liza Colón-Zayas (“The Bear”).
