When asked whether the series could expand into other noir-inspired heroes (think Daredevil Noir), Uziel made it clear the door is wide open:
“I would love to expand the universe in the noir world. I think there’s room for many more characters. The history of noir is vast, so there’s a lot more stories to tell, and there’s plenty of room for other characters.”
It’s a statement that instantly raises the stakes for Spider-Noir, hinting at a potential expansion that could bring even more iconic characters into this gritty, stylized universe.

Following the screening, guests headed to the iconic Empire State Building for an immersive after party that extended the world of Spider-Noir into real life.
Producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were also in attendance, continuing their legacy after Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
What to Expect from Spider-Noir
Set in 1930s New York, the series follows Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a down-on-his-luck private investigator forced to confront his past while secretly operating as the city’s only superhero.
One of its most unique features: the show will be available in both “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color,” offering two distinct viewing experiences.
Directed by Harry Bradbeer, the series blends crime, mystery, and superhero storytelling in a way that already feels unlike anything else in the genre.
Spider-Noir premieres May 27, 2026 on Prime Video.
