It's time to get excited. Very excited. The new Spider-Noir trailer is here out of CCXP Mexico, and it instantly cemented the upcoming Prime Video show as a true contender for 2026's superhero crown. Yes, we're including Avengers: Doomsday in that conversation.
As to be expected, the new trailer is available in both black-and-white and in full color. Regardless of what option you pick, you'll be treated to a sizzling Spider-Reel of villains (including Jack Huston's Sandman, a new villain called Megawatt, Brendan Gleeson's Silvermane, and Man-Spider), as well as some seriously impressive action scenes to go along with the noir-fuelled spectacle of Nicolas Cage donning the mask of Spider-Noir.
All told, it's suddenly thwipped up to the top of our most-anticipated list, especially the moments that see Cage swinging through the streets and, in one moment, saving himself from becoming a stain on the sidewalk with some fast thinking.
The introduction of Man-Spider, a concept of a man with a spider-like appearance pulled from the pages of Marvel Fanfare, also shows that there's space for a dash of horror to go along with the dark shadows and even darker gangsters lurking in New York.
Spider-Noir might not be the only show in town, either. Showrunner Oren Uziel told SFX magazine that there are "other" variants being considered for future projects.
In a separate interview, Uziel has also said he wants to "make a version of Spider-Man that no one has seen before," which is probably why Nicolas Cage has described his performance of Ben Reilly as akin to "a spider pretending to be a person" and even Bugs Bunny. You know what? We wouldn't have it any other way.
Spider-Noir releases on Prime Video on May 27, with MGM Plus subscribers being able to see the premiere early on May 25.
