Spider-Noir Final Trailer: Nicolas Cage’s Ben Reilly Faces Silvermane’s Superpowered Thugs

Prime Video released the final trailer and a new poster for Spider-Noir, with Nicolas Cage’s live-action Marvel series arriving May 27 on Prime Video in “True-Hue Full Color and Authentic Black & White.”

The series centers on B. Reilly, a private investigator pulled back into a dangerous case connected to his past as a superhero, and the poster confirms Cage playing an older, worn-down version of Spider-Noir in 1930s New York.

In the final trailer, Ben Reilly is tempted to resume his life as a crime-fighter as New York City crime lord Silvermane begins amassing a crew of superpowered thugs.

Comic Book Resources highlights the trailer’s philosophy for leaving the vigilante life behind, quoting Ben Reilly: "Because with no power comes no responsibility," as an apparent twist on the Spider-Man mantra.

Comic Book Resources also quotes showrunner Oren Uziel explaining why Cage is playing “The Spider,” Ben Reilly, and not a version of Spider-Man, Peter Parker, saying, "The Ben Reilly character allows it to immediately distinguish itself from a Peter Parker story."

Gizmodo describes the new trailer as leaning into noir tropes like femme fatales, pouring rain, dynamic shadows, and private detectives, while also showing “Spidey villains” and more action.

Gizmodo also points to Silvermane and Sandman in the trailer, naming Silvermane as played by Braveheart’s Brendan Gleeson and Sandman as played by Boardwalk Empire’s Jack Huston.

The Playlist frames the series as Spider-Man mythology filtered through private-eye pulp and Depression-era shadows, and it reiterates that Spider-Noir will be available in both black and white and color as “Authentic Black and White” and “True-Hue Full Color.”

In the final trailer, Comic Book Resources says Ben Reilly seems to give his full philosophy for leaving the vigilante life behind with the line "Because with no power comes no responsibility," and it notes the show’s darker tone.

The Playlist adds that Cage’s return to this corner of Spider-lore comes after he voiced Spider-Man Noir in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” while emphasizing that this version plays Ben Reilly rather than Peter Parker.

Multiple outlets tie the Spider-Noir rollout to May 25 and May 27, with The Playlist saying it premieres May 25 on MGM+’s linear broadcast channel and arrives globally on Prime Video on May 27.

JoBlo similarly states that Spider-Noir premieres on May 25, 2026, on MGM+, followed by its global release on Prime Video on May 27, 2026, where all 8 episodes will drop at once.

JoBlo’s trailer description also names villains under Silvermane’s control, including an Irish mob boss played by Brendan Gleeson and a sand-made villain, while it describes Ben Reilly as an aging private investigator in 1930s New York.

Comic Book Resources lists the series cast alongside Nicolas Cage, including Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson, and it identifies Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot as co-showrunners.

Comic Book Resources also quotes Cage’s earlier Spider-Verse connection by noting Cage previously voiced Spider-Noir in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, while this marks his first time playing the character in live action.
