Spider-Noir teaser leaked online hours after first look; Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man excites fans: 'Sin City meets Marvel'

Nicolas Cage makes his live-action debut as Spider-Man Noir in Amazon Prime Video's new superhero series, Spider-Noir.

The teaser of Prime Video's upcoming superhero series, Spider-Noir, was leaked online hours after the streamer shared the show's first poster on its official channels. The short teaser marked Nicolas Cage's live-action debut as Spider-Man Noir, a character he previously voiced in the Spider-Verse animated films. The teaser was shared by several fan accounts on social media and YouTube before Amazon began taking them down over copyright infringement.

The teaser opens with a silhouette of Spider-Man looking over the city as a voice over says, "Have you seen it? The city is a mess. The people could use a hero." This is interspersed with visuals of a spider crawling on the ground and several new characters. The entire show is in monochrome. The teaser then jumps into high gear with the first glimpse of action as Spider-Man fights armed thugs with his bare hands, knocking one down. "I hope they find someone," says Nicolas Cage's voice. The final shot of the trailer shows the noir Spider-Man lighting his eyes up as a thug gets alarmed. "Coming 2026," the teaser ends.

Spider-Noir is an alternate take on Spider-Man, with the character set in a 1930s New York. The show has been shot in black-and-white to retain that noir theme. Reacting to the teaser, one fan wrote on Reddit, "So honestly, it looks pretty good. Very Sin City-esque, the dialogue will be what makes or breaks this. The little we heard sounded good so far." Another added, "This could be a real treat. I'm getting real excited for this." Many others echoed that it looked very 'Sin City meets Marvel' in its approach.
