2026 is about to show viewers many different sides of their favorite web-slinger. Only three months remain before Tom Holland returns to the big screen for his darkest outing as Peter Parker yet in the much-anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This fall, the character will also be back in animated form with Disney+’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2, introducing a plethora of fan-favorites from Peter’s life, like Gwen Stacy, Venom, and another appearance from Charlie Cox as Daredevil. Before any of those, however, it’ll be Ben Reilly’s turn to step out of the shadows with Spider-Noir premiering on May 25.
With exactly one month remaining before Nicolas Cage makes his live-action debut as the troubled super-detective, the Prime Video and MGM+ series has traveled to CCXP Mexico in Mexico City. Attendees were treated to a new trailer that has now appeared online, teasing the complicated and deeply dangerous web Ben will have to navigate as 1930s New York’s only superhero. The footage features a version of the city ripped right out of a classic noir film, complete with a down-on-his-luck detective with a penchant for monologuing and a tragic past. As he digs into a new case, he’s haunted by the death of his wife, and his personal journey will revolve around his attempts to move past that and be the protector the people need, even if he’s lost a step.
This latest look particularly serves to highlight Spidey’s imposing rogue’s gallery and how they’ve become more terrifying than ever in this gritty noir setting. Chief among them is Silvermane, played by Oscar nominee Brendan Gleeson, a crime boss who offers a sort of twisted order amid the chaos and will match wits with the Spider. There are other “monsters” prowling the streets of New York, though, like Flint Marko, aka Sandman (Jack Huston), Lonnie Lincoln, aka Tombstone (Abraham Popoola), and, in a twist, the largely forgotten villain Dirk Leydon, aka Megawatt (Andrew Caldwell), who makes his first on-screen appearance ever in quite literally shocking fashion by frying Ben in front of a crowd of onlookers. There’s even a quick and terrifying look at what appears to be the live-action debut of Man-Spider biting at Reilly’s arm. This investigation will clearly take him to dark places that, so far, no Spider-Man adaptation has dared.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your MCU Hero Is…
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
Queens, New York
🕷️ Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York
😈 Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.
Stark Industries, Malibu
🤖 Iron Man
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.
Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms
⚡ Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers
🛡️ Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
Who Else Will Swing Into ‘Spider-Noir’?
Another highlight of the new trailer is Sinners star Li Jun Li‘s Cat Hardy, playing the classic noir femme fatale. She comes to Ben in need of help finding a missing friend, but their entanglement may involve more than just business as she proposes they be “alone together.” Lamorne Morris and Karen Rodriguez round out the main cast, while the stacked guest roster features Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Amy Aquino, Andrew Robinson, and Kai Caster.
Although Cage first voiced Spider-Noir in the acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, his series is set in a completely separate world with its own story to tell around Ben, rather than a darker Peter Parker. Co-showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot did, however, develop the series alongside Spider-Verse helmers Christopher Miller and Phil Lord and producer Amy Pascal. The first two episodes are also directed by two-time Emmy winner and Enola Holmes director Harry Bradbeer, who joins the rest of the creatives as an executive producer. Sony Pictures Television is producing.
Spider-Noir premieres on MGM+ in the U.S. on May 25, before releasing globally on Prime Video in its entirety on May 27, in black-and-white and True-Hue full color. Check out the new trailer in the player above.
