Spider-Noir: Nicolas Cage’s Spider Rewrites The Rules (And Why It Matters)
Nicolas Cage’s Ben Reilly is finally here, and the first teaser gives us our clearest look yet at Amazon and MGM+’s gritty Spider-Man adaptation.
Set in a shadowy 1930s-inspired world, Spider-Noir follows Cage’s older, jaded web-slinger — now named Ben Reilly instead of Peter Parker. But why the name change? And what does it mean for Sony’s Spider-Man universe? In this breakdown, we unpack the biggest reveals from the Spider-Noir teaser trailer, including Silvermane as the central villain, new takes on Sandman and Electro, and the mystery surrounding that possible Vulture (or Man-Spider) creature.
We also dive into how this live-action Spider-Noir series adapts the Marvel comics storyline, what Nicolas Cage has said about playing the character “70% Humphrey Bogart, 30% Bugs Bunny,” and how producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller are shaping this darker Spider-Verse spinoff.
With Brendan Gleeson as Silvermane, Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, and a black-and-white viewing option at launch, Spider-Noir might be the boldest Spider-Man TV project yet.
Is this secretly a clone story? Is Ben Reilly really Peter Parker? And how faithful will the show be to the comics? Let’s break it all down.
