News Spider-Noir Spider-Noir Lets You Pick Your Poison With Full-Color and Black-and-White Teasers You’re gonna want to stick with the Black-and-White version here By Molly Templeton | Published on February 12, 2026 Screenshot: Prime Video Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Prime Video The appeal of Spider-Noir—the spinoff series based on a Marvel character memorably played by Nicolas Cage in Into the Spider-Verse—is the noir, is it not? In that film, Spider-Man Noir appears in only black-and-white. Spider-Man Noir acts like a Humphrey Bogart character. Spider-Man Noir is not exactly of our time. Spider-Man Noir in full color is really weird. But you may choose your own adventure here, as Prime has released two teasers for the show: one in “authentic black-and-white” and one in “true-hue full color.” The series will also be released this way. I recommend the black-and-white version, which at the very least looks lush and evocative—though it primarily evokes other, better things. The color one is kind of a travesty. In full, regular-old color, there’s just not a lot of appeal. We’ve all seen Nicolas Cage chew scenery, and the teaser is light on anything resembling plot or character. The dialogue is so chopped up that no line seems to follow another, and no one has anything to do but watch Nicolas Cage be Nicolas Cage. The synopsis says: Spider-Noir is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. Spider-Noir tells the story of Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a seasoned, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city’s one and only superhero. Spider-Noir also stars Lamorne Morris (Fargo), Li Jun Li (Sinners), Karen Rodriguez (Shining Girls), Abraham Popoola (Slow Horses), Jack Huston (Mayfair Witches), and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin). Oren Uziel (The Cloverfield Paradox) and Steve Lightfoot (The Punisher) are co-showrunners; they developed the series with the Into the Spider-Verse team of Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. Spider-Noir premieres May 27th on Prime Video.[end-mark] The post <i>Spider-Noir</i> Lets You Pick Your Poison With Full-Color and Black-and-White Teasers appeared first on Reactor.
