Nicolas Cage is set to star as the titular character in "Spider-Noir," a new series premiering on MGM+ and Prime Video in May 2026. Cage will embody Ben Reilly, a private investigator operating in 1930s New York. The series is expected to offer a gritty, noir-infused take on the Spider-Man universe.
The upcoming "Spider-Noir" series has officially confirmed classic villains for its 1930s setting. Jack Huston will portray Flint Marko, who will transform into the Sandman. Joe Massingill is heavily implied to be playing Electro, a long-standing foe of Spider-Man, with details emerging from convention collectible badges and trailer glimpses.

Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson and Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy round out the supporting cast.
