Nicolas Cage Will Officially Return As Spider-Man In 2027 After Prime Video’s Spider-Noir

by

Nicolas Cage introduces his take on the Marvel hero Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir. Following these initial adventures, fans can expect more of Cage as Spider-Man in the coming year. Cage is a remarkably versatile actor, famous for his complete immersion in his roles, and certainly isn’t one to shy away from a challenge.

Nicolas Cage loves taking on challenging roles, and in Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, that willingness leads to some truly wild action. All eight episodes of the 2026 series are now available, introducing viewers to The Spider – a unique version of Spider-Man – as he battles classic villains from the Marvel comics.

While it was fun to see classic villains like Sandman and Silvermane, and fresh takes on characters like Black Cat and Robbie Robertson, Ben Reilly is the most compelling part of Spider-Noir. The show truly lets actor Nicolas Cage explore the character of this older, independent detective, even featuring a memorable scene where he moves with spider-like agility.

With so many Spider-Man movies already made, the unique take on Spider-Man in Spider-Noir felt like a breath of fresh air. As of now, there’s no word on whether Spider-Noir will get a second season, but fans can be sure that Cage will return as Spider-Man in a new project in 2027.

Nicolas Cage Returns As His First Spider-Man In 2027

Next year, Nicolas Cage will revisit his connection to Spider-Man. Before playing Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir, he actually voiced a version of Peter Parker in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in 2018. That character, Spider-Man Noir, was a more faithful adaptation of the original comic book version, while Spider-Noir takes more creative freedom. Though both are based on the same character, the new Spider-Noir series on Prime Video is entirely separate from the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe, including all previous movies and shows.

Despite not being in a major role in the sequel, Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Man Noir made a brief, silent appearance at the end of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This hinted that he’ll be back for the final movie in the trilogy, joining Gwen Stacy’s team to help Miles. So, fans can expect to see Cage reprise his role when Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out on June 25, 2027. Let’s hope the movie stays on schedule, letting audiences see him as Spider-Man Noir just over a year after his appearance in the Prime Video series, Spider-Noir.

Why Spider-Noir Season 2 Needs To Happen

Fans are thrilled about Nicolas Cage potentially returning in the next Spider-Verse film, but his role as Spider-Noir deserves to continue as well. A second season of the show could build on the unique, hard-boiled world it established, centering on a compelling detective story. Set in 1930s New York, the series could jump forward to World War II, allowing it to explore what it truly means to be Spider-Man – or ‘The Spider’ – during wartime, a concept showrunner Oren Uziel has expressed interest in pursuing.

While the first season of Spider-Noir didn’t clearly hint at what’s next, the show has a wealth of comic book characters to draw from for season two. Popular villains like Green Goblin, Hammerhead, and Mister Negative would be great additions. Now that Cat Hardy’s story is finished, the series could also introduce new romantic interests for Spider-Noir, such as Mary Jane Watson, Liz Allan, or Gwen Stacy. The possibilities are truly endless, and another season of Spider-Noir would be fantastic.
