Upcoming New Sony Spider-Man Universe Movies and TV Shows: 2026 Marvel Spin-Off Release Dates and Beyond

Nicolas Cage stars as Ben Reilly in a 1930s noir-themed Spider-Man spin-off premiering May 27 on Prime Video, blending mad-science origins with existential themes.

  • On May 27, Prime Video will premiere Spider-Noir, with a first-look teaser revealing Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, the Noir variant.
  • Showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot changed the hero's alter ego from Peter Parker to Ben Reilly to craft a darker, haunted noir protagonist, drawing on Marvel Noir comics.
  • Set in 1933 New York during the Great Depression, the series casts Li Jun Li, Brendan Gleeson, and Lamorne Morris, while the teaser shows military hospital scenes with creepy doctors linked to origins.
  • Brendan Gleeson’s Silvermane marks the mob boss's first live-action appearance, while the switch to Ben Reilly as protagonist may confuse comic readers and spark debate.
  • The film‑noir genre taps into wartime experiments and veterans' struggles, with producer Phil Lord describing Cage's performance as `a spider trying to cosplay as a human`.
