The Spider-Verse is spinning off.

At its annual upfront presentation Monday, Amazon gave a first look at Spider-Noir, the upcoming Spider-Man installment coming to MGM+ and Prime Video in 2026.

Nicolas Cage stars in the series, which is his first regular TV role. The Oscar winner voiced a version of the character in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but the series is live-action. According the official description, "Spider-Noir tells the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero."

With the first Ironheart teaser expected to be released tomorrow and Superman's trailer confirmed for Wednesday, it's shaping up to be a busy week for news.

As for Monday, we're kicking things off with an official look at Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man in Amazon and MGM+'s Spider-Noir TV series.

The wall-crawling private investigator has already been spotted in set photos, but this spectacular black-and-white image is like seeing the comic books—and 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse—come to life in live-action.

Cage can be seen striking an iconic Spider-Man pose and will clearly be able to shoot webs in the show. Whether Spider-Noir can right the ship for Sony after disappointments like Madame Web, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter remains to be seen.

It's interesting that this still has been presented in black-and-white because Spider-Noir star Lukas Haas previously said, "We filmed it in - I...

Nicolas Cage’s new movie recently began playing in theaters everywhere, but that didn’t stop the Oscar-winner from delivering a new update on one of his most intriguing upcoming projects. Cage has been tapped to reprise his role as Spider-Man Noir in the upcoming Prime Video series, Spider-Noir, which began filming late last year. Cage first made his debut as the character in animated form with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse before returning only in the post-credit scene of the sequel, Across the Spider-Verse. Information about Spider-Noir is being kept under heavy wraps — a concept any Marvel-adjacent project knows all too well — and during a recent interview with Collider's own Steve Weintraub to promote his new movie, The Surfer, Cage spoke on the dreaded Marvel vow of silence, and how he “can't say one word" about the secretive series

Exclusive: UTA has signed writer, director, producer, and showrunner Oren Uziel for representation in all areas.

Currently, Uziel is serving as writer, executive producer, and showrunner of Spider-Noir, the highly anticipated live-action comic book series for MGM+. Produced alongside Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Amy Pascal, the show has Nicolas Cage reprising his role as Spider-Man Noir, a gritty, 1930s-era superhero detective, from the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Most recently for film, Uziel co-wrote the screenplay for The Lost City, a romantic adventure-comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, which grossed over $192 million worldwide.

Uziel first garnered industry attention in 2009 with his original Black List script Shimmer Lake, which he ultimately helmed for Netflix in 2017, in his directorial debut.

The upcoming live-action Spider-Noir series starring Academy Award winner and Hollywood icon Nicolas Cage has finally been given a release window. The series, which will debut exclusively on MGM+ before landing on Prime Video, finds Cage debuting as his Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse scene-stealer, Spider-Man Noir, for what promises to be a unique adventure in the world of Marvel.

Now, a possible release date for Spider-Noir has been revealed. According to Nexus Point News, the Spider-Man spin-off story will swing onto streaming “in early 2026.” While this has not yet been confirmed through any official channels, this release window does line up with what we know about filming and production of the show.

Spider-Noir is a series featuring Nicholas Cage as a spider themed private detective. Cage first played the character in Into the Spider-Verse, then reprised the role for Across the Spider-Verse and is expected to reprise the role in the third film, Beyond the Spider-Verse. It would make sense for the live action version of this character to be the same one featured in the animated movies, they are played by the same person after all, but there has been no official confirmation on this.

MGM+ is where the series will initially debut in the US, but will then become available on Amazon Prime Video globally. The series will have eight episodes and, while there aren’t a ton of details about it right now, the series is said to be a hard boiled detective story set in an alternate version of 1930s New York City where Nicholas Cage’s character is based.

Sitting atop the global box office is A Minecraft Movie, a film that’s taken 11 years and 28 writers to get to the screen.

One of the deadliest characters in the Mortal Kombat universe has just been immortalized with a new collectible. Iron Studios has officially released the first images of a new Kung Lao figure from Mortal Kombat, showing the deadly warrior standing atop a pool of skulls, the remains of anyone foolish enough to face him. The figure is based on Kung Lao’s appearance in the Mortal Kombat video game franchise instead of Max Huang’s portrayal of the character in the 2021 film, a role that he will reprise in the sequel coming to theaters later this year. The new Kung Lao figure retails for $199.99 and is now available for pre-order from IronStudios.com. It will be shipped out worldwide later this year between October and December.

This isn’t the first time this year that Iron Studios has given a new figure to a character from the Mortal Kombat franchise.

I’m really looking forward to Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Noir, and one actor on the series has teased that it could double down on the film noir aspect. While speaking with ComingSoon.net, Lukas Haas said Spider-Noir could be released in black-and-white. I’d be into that.

“We filmed it in — I think it may come out in both black and white and color, but when we filmed it, the monitors were all black and white, so you got this feeling and it looked very, very authentic,” Haas said. “To the point that I would actually go and look at the monitor and think I was looking at some older footage, but it was actually just a monitor of what was on the camera at the time. They did a beautiful job with the filters and all that stuff, making it look like genuine old 1930s, black and white film.

Amazon's upcoming Spider-Noir series has received a surprising update from actor Lukas Haas, who has suggested that viewers may find two different viewing experiences available to them when the series finally arrives on Prime Video. Living up to its name, Haas has suggested that, as well as being able to watch the unconventional superhero show starring Nicolas Cage in color, there is a chance that a “noir” black and white version will be released as well.

Compared to network television, streaming opens many options up when it comes to how shows are put into the world, including the ability to vary episode lengths, episode counts, and how many versions are released. Speaking to ComingSoon, Haas said of the upcoming Marvel-based series:

“It was just an incredible project. Everybody involved was amazing. Brendan Gleason, he plays my boss. Just getting to, to do that noir thing. It was very genuine film noir,...

Spider-Noir remains in production and, if the set photos we've seen are any indication, the web-slinger's first TV series will put a unique new spin on Spider-Man.

Screen icon Nicolas Cage plays Ben Reilly, a private eye who moonlights as a superhero. We've seen him swinging into action on set, suggesting the series will be very much in line with the comics, even though those featured Peter Parker under the mask. Why Spider-Noir is named after his clone hasn't been made clear.

Lukas Haas has landed a mystery role in the show and, during a recent interview with Coming Soon, suggested the series could be released in black and white as well as colour.

"It was just an incredible project," he told the site. "Everybody involved was amazing. Brendan Gleason, he plays my boss. Just getting to, to do that noir thing. It was very genuine film noir, the way they filmed it,...

In response to the Covid pandemic, Warner Bros. gave all of their 2021 films day-and-date theatrical and Max streaming releases – and one movie that really benefited from the streaming side of that strategy was the video game adaptation Mortal Kombat, released in April of 2021. As reported by Business Insider, Mortal Kombat had the best weekend of any of the Warner Bros. releases on Max, with a total of 3.8 million viewers during its first few days. In addition to that, the film, which cost $55 million to make, earned $83.6 million at the global box office. So, within months of its release, Warner Bros. was already developing sequels and spinoffs. The first follow-up will be making its way into theatres sometime in 2025 – and here’s everything we know about Mortal Kombat 2.

Longlegs star Nicolas Cage voiced the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man Noir in the animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and we’re going to have the chance to watch him play the character in live-action in the upcoming MGM+ and Prime Video series that’s going by the title Spider-Noir. That show is currently in production, and today, Deadline revealed that the recurring cast includes Amy Aquino (Bosch) and Andrew Robinson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)!

I’m especially excited to hear that Andrew Robinson is involved with this show, because he has been largely absent from our screens for way too long. The character actors has racked up over 100 credits over the course of a career that stretches back to 1969, with Dirty Harry, Mask, Cobra, Hellraiser, Shoot to Kill, Child’s Play 3, Trancers III, Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings, and The Puppet Masters being among the many movies you might have seen him in.

Nicolas Cage has some new co-stars. Two more actors have just joined the cast of Spider-Noir, the upcoming MGM+ and Prime Video live-action series based on the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man Noir.

According to Deadline, Amy Aquino (Bosch) and Andrew Robinson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) have been added to the recurring cast of Spider-Noir. Outside Bosch, in which she starred as Lt. Grace Billets, Aquino is known for her recurring roles in Being Human, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Brothers & Sisters, and most recently appeared as Judge Thelma Hollub in Clint Eastwood's 2024 drama Juror #2. As for Robinson, he seems to have taken a step back from acting in the mid-2000s, although he voiced an alternate version of his Deep Space Nine character Elim Garak in an episode of the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks last year.

To differentiate the project from the film adaptation and the various versions of Spider-Man’s alter ego, the series will present a different take on the Noir hero by making him someone other than the character played by Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, or Tobey Maguire in live-action. Who this...

It's business as usual in Los Angeles now the worst of the wildfires is over and Spider-Noir resumed shooting yesterday. Lead star Nicolas Cage, no stranger to comic book adaptations, has been spotted in costume as Ben Reilly, albeit in his P.I. gear rather than a super-suit.

The actor first played this version of Spidey in 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and became an instant fan-favourite. The fact he's getting to reprise the role in live-action isn't something we ever expected, though this Spider-Man is Ben, not Peter Parker (we don't think that makes him a clone; it's more than likely a result of Sony not wanting to confuse audiences).

It's been a while since we got any updates about Spider-Noir but MGM and Amazon Prime appear to be moving full steam ahead with the streaming series.

While it was put into development before Sony Pictures pulled the plug on its villain-led Marvel Universe,...

Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had a public feud during the filming of the ‘Fast & Furious’ movies. The tension started in 2016 when they disagreed on set, with Johnson openly criticizing some of his co-stars including calling “them” “chicken shit” and “candy ass:” It turns out he was referring to Diesel.

The feud continued for years, with both actors speaking about their differences in interviews.

At the 2025 Golden Globes, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson met when Diesel went on stage to present an award to “Wicked.” Diesel paused during his speech to say, “Hey, Dwayne,” who was in the audience, and the camera showed Johnson awkwardly smiling in the crowd, while the audience laughed because of their past feud.

The feud was long and legendary at least in celebrity circles and it seemingly ended back in 2023 when Johnson surprised fans by appearing as Luke Hobbs in a Fast X mid-credits scene.

Being a sequel to a $7.3 billion franchise has its headaches. Just ask Vin Diesel about the next Fast & Furious installment Fast X: Part 2.

The star posted on social media yesterday, teasing at the possibility of a spring 2026 release, the return of Dwayne Johnson, who he’s reportedly square off with on-screen and off, as well as a two-movie finale.

Wrote Diesel, “I got universal in one ear saying we need FastX2 by March 2026! I have Comcast in the other ear saying we need two movies to be the Finale! Then the writer on Fast Five sent me this image and said we need to see Dom and Hobbs resolve their differences. I just want to get back to real street racing, practical stunts… and a reunion of that beautiful brotherhood. Happy Thanksgiving…”

Already Universal set The Flash screenwriter Christina Hodson and Cloverfield screenwriter Oren Uziel to write Fast X: Part 2...

Fast X: Part 2 seemingly gets a new update from Vin Diesel, with a set photo suggesting that filming on the sequel has now begun. After the Fast X cliffhanger ending in 2023, the long-running Fast & Furious franchise is expected to continue with an additional installment, which might be the last for Diesel and the rest of the Fast Saga crew. Fast X: Part 2 filming has previously been reported to be getting underway in early 2025, but Mia Toretto actor Jordana Brewster recently revealed to Screen Rant that she doesn't know what the sequel's filming timeline is.

Diesel now takes to Instagram to share a new set photo, seemingly from Fast X: Part 2. The photo shows a black Chevy Chevelle, a car that Dom has driven in previous installments, driving between another classic car and a camera vehicle. Diesel's caption doesn't explicitly confirm that they're shooting the next Fast & Furious movie,...

Spider-Man swings into action in a new look at Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. The upcoming Marvel Animation series will focus on a variant of Peter Parker who was mentored by Norman Osborn instead of Tony Stark.

The new official look at the hotly-anticipated animated series shows Spider-Man (still wearing a proto-suit) web-swinging past a school bus. Did Peter miss the bus, making this the next best way to make it to school on time? Fans are unlikely to get an answer until the series premieres on Disney+ in January 2025. In the meantime, fans can get a taste of the series' animation style by watching Marvel Studios' Look Ahead trailer, which features sneak peeks at its 2025 film and television slate.

The Lost City is an action-packed romantic comedy with something in it for everyone. And now that it's come to Netflix a lot more people can see it. In fact, in the week since it debuted, the 2022 film has been in the streamer's list of Top 10 movies.

The Lost City centers on Sandra Bullock's Loretta Sage, a writer of sexy treasure-hunting novels that focus on her protagonist, Dr. Angela Lovemore, and her paramour, Dash McMann, a gorgeous and multiple-degree-holding man who joins her on all her adventures. In real life, though, Dash is played by Channing Tatum's cover model Alan, a less accomplished, but very hot, specimen, who happens to adore Loretta, even though she can't seem to stand him.

But when Loretta is kidnapped by Daniel Radcliffe's despicable Abigail Fairfax who happens to have serious jealousy issues over his younger brother getting the reins to the...

Exclusive: Andrew Lewis Caldwell (The Matrix Resurrections) has joined the recurring cast of Spider-Noir, the upcoming MGM+ and Prime Video live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. Details regarding his character are under wraps.

From executive producers/co-showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot and Sony Pictures TV, Spider-Noir tells the story of an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator (Nicolas Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.

Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, and Li Jun Li also star in the series.

Spider-Noir is produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video. Harry Bradbeer is set to direct, and executive produce the first two episodes. Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.

Sony and Amazon/MGM's Spider-Noir series appears to be taking some major liberties with the source material, but given how obscure this Variant of the web-slinger is, does it really matter if "Ben Reilly" is beneath the mask instead of Peter Parker?

That's debatable; regardless, Sony appears to be ignoring the fact Ben is Peter's clone and we don't anticipate that being addressed in any way when Spider-Noir swings on to streaming next year.

Today, we have some new photos from the TV show's set (via Just Jared) showcasing Nicolas Cage's private eye. We've already seen that the series will feature a comic-accurate superhero costume and Cage unquestionably looks the part of "Ben" in these snaps.

Earlier this year, Cage opened up on what led to him reprising a role he first played in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

"I know that the phone's going to be...

Fast and Furious 11 gets an uncertain filming update from Jordana Brewster, who plays Mia Toretto. Brewster first appeared as Mia, little sister to Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto, in the 2001 original movie, and she has since played an important role in a number of the Fast & Furious sequels, including last year's Fast X. After a mixed reception to the most recent installment, Fast & Furious 11 is confirmed to be on the way, and it could end up being the final installment in the Fast Saga.

During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Brewster is asked what she knows about Fast & Furious 11's filming timeline, revealing that she's not yet aware of when production might start. After joking that she might press Diesel for more information about the sequel, the actor hopes that production isn't too far off. Check out Brewster's comment below:

I don't have a timeline. I'm usually I mean,...

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, adapting bigger and bolder storylines to live-action, Sony too is moving ahead with its Spider-Man Universe. Having access to some 900 or so characters related to the fan-favorite web-slinger, the studio is now moving to the small screen to bring yet another story to live-action.

Starring Nicolas Cage, the studio has been developing the series Spider-Noir for quite some time now, and the first looks of the series were recently leaked. Reprising his role from the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, this time in live-action, fans are excited and waiting eagerly for the series.

Despite Sony’s track record of Marvel flicks (other than the Spider-Verse movies) being, bluntly stating, terrible, the prospect of seeing Cage as the live version of his character does seem alluring. So, without further ado, here is all we know about the latest and upcoming series.

Sony and MGM’s upcoming Spider-Noir series, starring Nicolas Cage, is set to be the first TV project within Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (Ssu), and excitement is already high. Cage returns as Spider-Man Noir, reprising his fan-favorite role from the animated Spider-Verse films—but this time, he’ll bring the character to life in live-action. Fans are particularly eager to see his take on the gritty, 1930s-inspired hero.

The series, consisting of eight episodes, is scheduled to stream on MGM+ in late 2025 or early 2026, with filming wrapping up in early 2025. The story will follow an “aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator” in 1930s New York City, who struggles with his past as the city’s only superhero—a unique twist on the noir-inspired Spider-Man.

In addition to Cage, the cast includes Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Li Jun Li, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Karen Rodriguez. While details are still under wraps, recent...

Sony’s and MGM’s upcoming Spider-Man series Spider-Noir starring Nicolas Cage is set to be the first television outing within the Ssu and everyone is very much excited for it. Cage will reprise his role as Spider-Man Noir from the Spider-Verse animated films, this time in live-action format, which is why everyone thinks the project will be awesome.

The series will consist of eight episodes and won’t air before late 2025 or even 2026, as filming will be concluded in early 2025. It will stream on MGM+ and that is, more or less, all we know about the series, aside from the fact that it will follow “aging, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York City who is grappling with his past life as the only superhero in the city.”

Aside from Cage, the series will feature Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Li Jun Li, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston,...
