LAST EDITED ON May-06-26 AT 00:27 AM (EDT)
 
Although for reasons I'm not privy to, the title is simply Spider-Noir, no -Man. According to the tail end of the trailer, it's going to be released in black-and-white and "True-Hue", which appears to be a color treatment tweaked to look like vintage Technicolor.

When Nic Cage voiced Spider-Man Noir in Into the Spider-Verse, I have to admit I didn't have him playing a live-action version of the character on my bingo card, but hey, we already know he can do the voice. :)

The original Spider-Man Noir comic was pretty brutal and not at all funny, as befits something based on hard-boiled detective films noir if it's being played straight. It's hard to tell from a two-minute trailer, but it looks like they were shooting for sort of a middle ground between that and the full-on comic treatment the character got in Spider-Verse with the live-action version. If so, I'm up for that.

Is it wrong that I watched the B&W trailer and immediately thought I was watching the next installment in the Sin City films?

Days it feels like we've reached that point in a franchise where the owners are trying to squeeze every bit of juice from the rind. Some exec realized they still had Cage on contract if they wanted to bring back Noir for another Spiderverse film and decided to get their money's worth.

Agreed, it's difficult to get a clear picture based upon a short trailer, but it appears they're still leaning somewhat into the "bumbling noir detective" portrayal as seen in the Spiderverse films.

Also, I was just reminded that I wished for a Spider-Man Noir movie after seeing Into the Spider-Verse, and now there is one. So hey, Sony, uh... about that Spider-Gwen movie...

keep it animated, though
