"Spider-Noir" Steps Out of the Shadows With Two Trailers, Both in Color and Black & White

Get in the Cage as the 1930s version of Spider-Man has a new take on responsibility.

We may not have a trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day yet, but we now have two teaser trailers for Spider-Noir!

What's Happening:

  • After a countdown clock began yesterday, Prime Video has released the first teaser trailer for Spider-Noir, in two different versions. Like the show itself, you can watch the Black & White version (or "Authentic Black & White," as it's labeled) or the "True-Hue Full Color" version.

  • The trailer(s) give us our first real idea of the approach and style of the series, with the winking tagline "With no power, comes no responsibility." And, yes, we get Nicolas Cage thankfully giving us a classic Nic Cage line reading with the meme-ready "I got plaaaaastered."

  • So which version of the show will you be watching first? It's gotta be Black & White, right? That's how the Spider-Man Noir character has always been portrayed, across comics and adaptations -- including Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse -- and it says right there in the labeling that this is the "Authentic" version!

What’s Happening:

  • Marvel Entertainment has officially kicked off the countdown, confirming that the first trailer for Spider-Noir arrives tomorrow, and to set the mood, two striking new posters have just been revealed as well.

  • The newly released posters arrive in both color and black-and-white, instantly sparking debate across social media. While many fans are gravitating toward the moody color version, Marvel has confirmed that Spider-Noir will be available to stream in both formats, giving viewers the option to experience the series in a way that best matches its hard-boiled, 1930s sensibility.
  • Visually, the series already appears more faithful to the Spider-Noir comics than initially expected, leaning heavily into smoky alleys, stark lighting, and classic noir themes. 
  • One of the biggest departures fans have noticed is the decision to rename the show’s Peter Parker variant as Ben Reilly, portrayed by Nicolas Cage. While changes like this come with the territory of adaptation, the core premise remains intact: Spider-Noir follows an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is forced to confront his past life as the city’s only masked hero.
  • Joining Cage is an impressive ensemble, including Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, and Jack Huston, with a deep bench of supporting players that reads like a noir all-star roster. From prestige TV veterans to breakout film actors, the cast signals a series aiming for character-driven grit as much as superhero spectacle.
  • Spider-Noir is set to premiere later this year on MGM+ in the U.S., with a global release on Prime Video.
