Spider-Noir Skirts Spider-Man Label Thanks to Marvel’s Rights Rules

Prime Video’s Spider-Noir stars Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a 1930s private investigator who operates under the Spider moniker but isn’t called Spider-Man due to Marvel’s stringent licensing rules governing the Spider-Man name, identity, and origin (including Peter Parker’s specifics).

Spider-Noir falters under Sony’s glossy Spider-Verse glare

Amazon’s MGM+ live-action Spider-Noir centers Ben Reilly as a brooding private eye and is visually gorgeous in black-and-white, but its thin narrative and uneven Nicolas Cage performance keep it from living up to Spider-Verse potential; eight episodes drop on MGM+ May 25 and Prime Video May 27, and while the look is stylish, the show largely feels like Sony tossing ideas at the wall rather than delivering a standout chapter in the Spider-Verse.

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+.
