Overview
- Marvel Entertainment and Prime Video unveiled the first official image of Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly in the live‑action Spider‑Noir series.
- The series will stream globally on Prime Video in a binge release on May 27, following a U.S. linear premiere on MGM+ on May 25.
- Cage’s character is a down‑on‑his‑luck 1930s private investigator who must reclaim his masked past as The Spider to confront the city’s underworld.
- Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller say this Ben Reilly is “like a spider pretending to be a person,” underscoring a tonal shift from Peter Parker.
- Showrunner Oren Uziel says it is the same character in a different universe from the Spider‑Verse films, with versions presented in black‑and‑white and in a color “True Hue.”
