Spider-Noir Trailer Confirms Ben Reilly Lead and Organic Webbing

The choice signals Sony’s push for standalone, darker Spider stories.

Overview

  • Nicolas Cage’s live-action trailer shows Ben Reilly as a burned-out private eye who once wore the mask, with a quick shot confirming he fires webbing straight from his hand.
  • Spider-Noir debuts on MGM+ on May 25, with all eight episodes streaming globally on Prime Video on May 27.
  • Showrunner Oren Uziel says the team chose Ben over Peter Parker to fit a hard-boiled noir tone that typical Peter stories do not allow.
  • The footage sets up a past loss tied to a woman named Ruby and introduces a noir‑styled rogues’ gallery with Brendan Gleeson as Silvermane, Jack Huston as Sandman, and Abraham Popoola as Tombstone.
  • Producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller guide the self-contained series, which offers both black-and-white and color viewing options and is not a spinoff of the animated films.
