Nicolas Cage taking on the role of Spider-Noir in a Prime Video series felt like a win from day one. He’s an excellent character actor who can swing from forlorn to funny in the blink of an eye. And in the trailer for Spider-Noir, we get a dash of both as the 1930s black and white world of Ben Reilly comes to life as well as a release date for this series.

The cool thing about Prime Video’s promotion of this live-action TV series is that it is giving us both the classic black and white viewpoint of his universe as well as a true-hue version. But, I truly prefer the trailer for Spider-Noir in black and white. There’s something a little more gritty and bleak yet intriguing about that perspective. In the clip, Ben talks about how his journey began with tics, thoughts, and impulses that he was able to suppress them most of the time…until he couldn’t. The series tagline says “With no power comes no responsibility,” which means we are in for a wild ride with this guy.

Here’s a synopsis to go along with what you’ve just saw:

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.

And, because you gotta see it, here’s the true-hue trailer for Spider-Noir below.
