Spider-Noir Trailer: Nicolas Cage Stars as Ben Reilly in Dual-Format Noir Series

A new teaser for the live-action series Spider-Noir arrived February 12, 2026, introducing Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a private investigator working the shadows of 1930s New York. The Spider-Noir trailer positions Reilly as a hard-boiled detective who must confront a buried past as the city’s only superhero.

The footage leans into noir narration and self-aware lines about restraint and responsibility, while previewing a world that looks different depending on how viewers watch. The series is confirmed to roll out in two formats, black-and-white and color, built into its presentation rather than treated as a simple stylistic alternate.

Key series details highlighted in early coverage include:

  • Co-starring Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola and Jack Huston
  • Character roles: Morris as Robbie Robertson, Li as Cat Hardy, Rodriguez as Janet (Reilly’s assistant detective)
  • Production: Sony Pictures Television for MGM+ and Prime Video

The distribution plan is platform-staggered, starting with a U.S. MGM+ linear-channel debut before expanding on Prime Video on May 27, with availability across more than 240 countries and territories.
