WHAT TO WATCH

Untangle a web of mystery in Spider-Noir

Nicolas Cage swings into action in this moody Marvel series.

Extra! Extra! There’s a new heroic wall-crawler in town, but he’s not the friendly neighbourhood Spider‑Man you know. Catch the first season of SpiderNoir on Prime Video.

Quick take: In this gritty, Depression-era corner of Marvel’s Spider‑Verse, Nicolas Cage plays a hapless New York City private investigator who has left his days as a web-slinging vigilante behind. But he reluctantly puts his mask (and trench coat and fedora) back on when superpowered gangsters, led by mob boss Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson), take over the city.

Don’t miss: Every episode of SpiderNoir is available in two distinct styles: “True-Hue Full Colour” and “Authentic Black & White,” which evokes 1930s detective films.
