The eagerly anticipated live-action Spider-Noir series starring Nicolas Cage has reportedly secured an early 2026 release window, according to Nexus Point News. While awaiting official confirmation, this timeline aligns with what’s known about the production schedule for this MGM+ exclusive that will later move to Prime Video.
The series marks Cage’s live-action debut as the character he memorably voiced in SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, but it’s the involvement of Brendan Gleeson that particularly stands out among recent casting news. Gleeson, whose career has experienced a remarkable renaissance, joins an impressive ensemble alongside Cage, Lamorne Morris, and Lukas Haas.
Haas recently shared enthusiastic insights about working with both headliners, specifically praising Gleeson who plays his boss in the noir-styled adaptation. “Brendan Gleeson is amazing,” Haas revealed, highlighting the authentic film noir approach to production where even the playback monitors displayed the footage in atmospheric black and white with dramatic shadowing that transported the actors to the 1930s setting.
Gleeson’s involvement comes during a career-defining period that’s seen him deliver critically acclaimed performances in films like THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN, for which he received an Oscar nomination, followed by his chilling work in THE HOLDOVERS and scene-stealing supporting roles in JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX and KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. His casting as a presumably gritty authority figure in Spider-Noir’s Depression-era New York continues this exceptional streak.
The series itself reimagines the character (originally introduced in Marvel Comics in 2009) as an aging private investigator in an alternate 1930s New York who returns to his superhero roots amid rising crime. Unlike the traditional Spider-Man origin, this Earth-90214 variant gained his abilities when bitten by a spider emerging from a mystical spider-god idol while investigating a smuggling operation.
Under showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, the production appears committed to maintaining the distinctive noir aesthetic that defines this unique corner of the Spider-Verse, creating what promises to be a visually striking and tonally distinct entry in Marvel’s expanding multiverse of storytelling approaches.
