The trailers for Spider-Noir, both in black-and-white and color, were recently unveiled during CCXP Mexico City, where cast members such as Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, and Jack Huston were present, along with creator and co-showrunner Oren Uziel.
The series, produced by Sony Pictures Television, is based on the Marvel comic series around Spider-Man Noir and is set in 1930s New York. In this version, we follow Ben Reilly, a world-weary private detective who operates as the only superhero in the city. He is confronted with his past after a significant personal tragedy, leading to a dark and emotionally charged story.
The trailer stands out for its distinct style: it was released in two versions, namely an authentic black-and-white version that emphasizes the classic noir atmosphere and a color version. This underscores the visual identity of the series, which heavily leans on the detective genre with a somber, cinematic tone.
The premiere is scheduled for Monday, May 25 on MGM+, after which the series will be available worldwide starting Wednesday, May 27 via Prime Video.
With this, Spider-Noir seems to be a unique addition to the Marvel universe, with a clear focus on atmosphere, character, and a different setting compared to previous Spider-Man stories.
