The creators of "Spider-Man Noir" have revealed the show's villains
Prime Video has released a new promo trailer for the series *Spider-Man Noir*, focusing on the villains of the first season. The video features Sandman, Tumstone, Megawatt, and crime lord Silvermane, played by Brendan Gleeson (*Mr. Mercedes*). Judging by the promo, Silvermane will be the main antagonist of the season. It has also been confirmed that all eight episodes will premiere on Prime Video on May 27, 2026, with the series launching on MGM+ two days earlier.
The promo reveals new details about the enemies of Nicolas Cage’s character (Renfield). The Sandman is played by Jack Huston (Expatriates), though the character is described more as a tragic antihero than a classic villain. Megawatt turned out not to be a version of Electro, as fans had assumed, but rather the little-known Marvel character Dirk Layton. Additionally, the trailer featured the original villain Jimmy Addison for the first time, a character created specifically for the series.
The story is set in 1930s New York, and the creators describe the series as a crime noir about an aging superhero-detective. The project will be released in two versions—color and black-and-white. Oren Uziel serves as showrunner, and the producers include the creators of the animated franchise "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."


I honestly tried to watch different b/w projects, but it's not my thing.
If the colored elements in the b/w version are in a noir spider, then I will look at the "gray" version without any questions. Otherwise, I will enjoy all the shades of the rainbow)))
Offhand, I remembered the TV series "Supernatural" and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." from the recent b/W series. And no matter how justified they were, I was still unhappy when watching the "gray" episodes. Personally, even the plot seems a little bland to me without color. 🙈
There were 2 or 3 episodes in Agents. Something had happened to Coulson there, and he temporarily felt the world was "colorless." I only remember it because I watched it just a week or two ago)))
Mad Max in b/w probably looked really hopeless. Chet somehow doesn't pull for such experiments. 😁
I already have a feeling that this project will become one of my favorites on the Spider theme. And I'll look at it in both color and black and white, why not!
Aah, damn, the news is not news anymore... I forgot about this novelty of his, bl
