Nicolas Cage is trading his Spider-Man voice role for the real thing. Prime Video just revealed the first look at Cage in his Spider-Noir costume – complete with a dark fedora, white goggles, and a classic detective’s trench coat.
“Spider-Noir tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero,” Vernon Sanders, Amazon MGM Studios TV head explains.
Here’s what makes this show special – you can watch it in black-and-white or full color. Sanders calls this “likely a first of its kind” for TV. The show hits MGM+ first, then lands on Prime Video the next day for viewers worldwide in 2026.
