Cage Goes Noir: Spider-Noir Turns Spider-Man Into a Stylish Oddity
Nicolas Cage stars as Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir, a noir-tinged Spider-Man adaptation available on MGM+ and Amazon Prime. The eight-episode series embraces authentic black-and-white visuals (with a color option) and a crime-molution mood, blending horror and humor as Cage’s larger-than-life persona anchors a story of love, loss, and a mob-riddled New York. Supported by Li Jun Li and Lamorne Morris, Cage brings a Cagney-flavored charisma to a detective-noir twist that stays true to its comic origins while delivering stylish, punchy filmmaking. The series premiered in late May with both the MGM+ and Prime releases, and IndieWire rates it a solid B+.
