2026 is shaping up to be a dream year for Spider-Man fans. Not only is Tom Holland expected to return as the MCU’s Spider-Man, but Nicolas Cage is finally stepping into live-action territory as Spider-Noir in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming series. After years of fan demand following Cage’s acclaimed voice role in the Spider-Verse films, Amazon has now dropped the first official poster, and the reveal has quickly ignited excitement across the fandom.
Amazon drops the first ‘Spider-Noir’ poster
Amazon Prime Video shared the poster on X, offering a moody and atmospheric glimpse into the noir-styled world the series will explore. Rather than showing Cage suited up, the poster chooses a subtler approach, one that leans heavily into mystery.
The image features a dimly lit Private Investigator’s office door with the name “B. Reilly” etched onto the glass. That name belongs to the series’ protagonist, played by Nicolas Cage, confirming earlier reports that the studio would reinterpret the Spider-Noir identity through the lens of a detective narrative. Behind the frosted glass, fans can spot the faint silhouette of Spider-Noir, hinting at the character’s shadowy presence without giving away the costume in full.
Amazon paired the poster with a playful, noir-flavoured caption:
“The city needs a hero… hopefully they find someone. ‘Spider-Noir,’ a new live-action series starring Nicolas Cage.”

What the Spider-Noir poster tells us about the series, and what it doesn’t
One of the most intriguing details about the series is Amazon’s stylistic decision to release it in pure black and white before dropping a color version. This move signals a commitment to the classic noir aesthetic, the smoky atmosphere, sharp shadows, trench-coat energy, and vintage crime-drama mood that makes Spider-Noir such a fan-favorite version of the character.
Releasing two formats also allows Amazon to appeal to both purists who want an authentic noir experience and casual viewers who prefer modern visuals.
While the poster confirms the tone and direction of the show, it doesn’t reveal key details like plot, supporting cast, or how closely the series will follow the comic storyline. It’s a deliberately cryptic tease, one that suggests Amazon wants to build slow-burn anticipation rather than drop major reveals this early.
The series is expected to blend supernatural elements, detective storytelling, and gritty action, aligning with Spider-Noir’s established lore. But until a trailer arrives, fans are left to decode tiny clues from minimal marketing.
When will Spider-Noir release?
For now, Amazon has not announced a specific premiere date. All that’s confirmed is a 2026 release window, meaning a full trailer, costume reveal, and story details will likely roll out over the coming months.
Spider-Man fans have a lot to look forward to: Tom Holland’s MCU return, the expanding Spider-Verse storytelling, and now Nicolas Cage taking on a stylish, shadow-drenched, detective-driven version of the character. As soon as Amazon drops updates, from new posters to trailers, we’ll bring them to you right away.
