Nicolas Cage's Spider Noir: Full Footage Description and Details for Spider-Verse Spin-off

Brace yourself. The beloved web-slinger is getting a seriously moody makeover. The upcoming live-action series Spider Noir stars Nicolas Cage as the titular Spider-Man. But this isn’t your typical Peter Parker story. Instead, Cage plays Ben Reilly: a hardened, worn-down private investigator in 1930s New York who once was the city’s only superhero. The official synopsis says that Ben must now “grapple with his past life” as Spider-Man.

The vibe? Think smoky jazz clubs, rain-slicked streets, damp alleys, a gritty noir wrapping around superhero mythology. Spider-Noir promises to be a genre mash-up: half detective thriller, half dark-tinted superhero tale.

Spider Noir CCXP Footage Full Description Leaked

At the recent CCXP25 event in Brazil, fans got their first official teaser reel for Spider-Noir. What did it show? Not much… but exactly enough to set hearts racing.

The teaser opens in darkness, focusing on a thug wearing a beret: shady, ominous, old-school. Suddenly, lights flick on behind him.
Enter Spider-Noir: his glowing, white eyes snap open. Cue the chill-inducing reveal. Then cut to black.
It’s quick. Blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of quick. But the power of that moment, edgy, mysterious, moody, is undeniable.

The trailer doesn’t give away much plot or dialogue. Instead, it leaves you wanting; gave just enough to make you imagine a world where Spider-Man isn’t swinging between skyscrapers, but skulking through shadows, hat low, coat collar up, in a world that’s gritty and morally gray.

A Double Dose of Noir: Black & White and Color

One of the coolest details? The show isn’t sticking to just one aesthetic. The creators have confirmed that Spider-Noir will be available in both black-and-white and color versions. Yup, like a vintage film flicking between eras.

The black-and-white version promises that golden-age noir feel. Deep shadows, stark lighting, moody atmospheres, heavy on style. Some of the cast even said that during filming, the monitors were set to B&W to get that authentic vibe.

But the color version isn’t a sad afterthought. It will be “period-inspired,” presumably retaining the vintage vibe while adding a richer visual palette. So you get to choose your flavour: timeless noir or stylized sultry retro.

What’s the Release Plan

Spider-Noir is slated to drop in 2026. In the U.S., it’ll premiere on MGM+. Everywhere else? You guessed it. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
The series is said to have eight episodes.
The production team? Heavyweights. Showrunners: Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot. Executive producing along with them: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. The same folks behind Spider-Verse. The first two episodes are directed by Harry Bradbeer.

Conclusion: Thoughts?

If you ask me, Spider-Noir is shaping up to be the bold, brooding Spider-Man story we never knew we needed. It ditches skyscrapers for smoky back-alleys, teenage angst for world-weariness and bright city lights for dark shadows and glowing eyes. The “eyes-blink-and-he’s-there” reveal at CCXP? Pure chill.

Whether you vibe with black & white or retro-color, this Spider-Man is going to feel gritty, mature, and cinematic, a total mood shift from web-shooters and wisecracks. I’m curious, are you ready for this darker, older, whole-new-vibe Spider-Man?
