Watch the First Full-Color Trailer for ‘Spider-Noir’
Amazon has revealed new details about Spider-Noir and confirmed that the show will launch in two different visual styles. The company shared the update along with trailers that show the difference between the versions. One version will be in full color, while the other will be presented in what Amazon calls “authentic black and white” to match the classic noir movies that inspired the series.

The show is built around Spider-Man Noir, a darker take on the famous Marvel hero. The character first appeared in a 2009 comic created by David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and Marko Djurdjević. Many viewers know the character from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where the voice role was played by Nicolas Cage. Cage returns for the series.
This time, the hero is named Ben Reilly instead of Peter Parker. The story takes place in 1930s New York and follows a struggling private investigator who becomes the city’s only superhero again after a tragic event.

The release plan starts with a TV debut on MGM+ on May 25. Two days later, the full season will be available worldwide on Prime Video. The project comes from Sony Pictures Television. The series was created for television by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot. Producers Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal are also involved.
The first two episodes were directed by Harry Bradbeer, known for work on Fleabag and Killing Eve. Several executive producers are attached to the show, including Cage, Bradbeer, Uziel, Lightfoot, Pavlina Hatoupis, Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear, Lord, and Miller.
Releasing two versions of the same show is a smart idea. Fans who love classic noir style can enjoy the black and white version, while others can watch the color release. It also makes the show feel more unique before it even premieres. What do you think about this idea? Would you watch the black and white version or stick with color?
