"The Spider-Verse launched a whole new multiverse both in the story and in real life. Sony's award-winning animated films introduced the world to Miles Morales, but along the way came a bunch of different variants of Spider-Man, ranging from Spider-Punk to Spider-Ham. Now, those characters are getting the spotlight, and first up is possibly the biggest name attached to the project: legendary actor Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a 1930s detective who takes on the alter ego "Spider-Noir.""
"It should be noted this is only one of two teaser trailers released today. In the Spider-Verse movies, Spider-Noir was only shown in black and white. However, perhaps in an effort to not alienate a monochrome-averse audience, Prime Video is simultaneously releasing two versions of the series: one in "Authentic Black & White" and "True Hue Full Color." The same goes for trailers, alongside the black and white one above, a full color version was also released."
"Regardless of which version you watch, the content is the same: Ben Reilly, a detective in 1930s New York City, is dealing with strange tics and impulses, something that leads him to beat up a bunch of guys in a bar. With classic Nic Cage delivery, he then says "I got PLASTERED!" so clearly this stoic character won't stop the star of Vampire's Kiss to give 110% to every sequence, be that walking through a mausoleum or defending the city while in disguise."
The Spider-Verse created multiple Spider-Man variants and expanded the franchise beyond Miles Morales. Nicolas Cage plays Ben Reilly, a 1930s detective who becomes Spider-Noir in a Prime Video spinoff. Prime Video released two teaser trailers and plans to offer the series in both "Authentic Black & White" and "True Hue Full Color." The teaser shows Reilly struggling with strange tics and impulses that spark violent episodes, including a bar brawl, and showcases Cage's heightened delivery with the line "I got PLASTERED!" The series mixes noir staples—a reporter (Lamorne Morris), a chanteuse (Li Jun Li), and existential angst—with Spider-Man visual moments.
