We have a new look at the villains of the upcoming Spider-Noir series starring Nicolas Cage as the titular hero.
And, not going to lie, the villainous line-up looks pretty damned great.
Carrying on the story of Spider-Noir from the Spider-Verse movies, this is going to be one to watch.
The upcoming streaming series Spider-Noir reimagines some of Marvel Comics’ most popular heroes and villains as Prohibition Era gumshoes and gangsters squaring off in New York City in 1933.
Nicolas Cage’s The Spider will battle mob boss Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson), Sandman (Jack Huston), Tombstone (Abraham Popoola), and Megawatt (Andrew Lewis Caldwell).
In related news, co-showrunner Oren Uziel has revealed in an interview with SFX Magazine that there are more, unannounced spinoffs coming.
“I’m focused on Spider-Noir, but I know there are others in the works,” he says, adding: “I’ve talked a bit to the people working on them and I think they are very exciting. They’re following a little bit of that same formula [as Spider-Noir], that same idea of taking a genre and elevating it by putting a Spider-variant into it. It opens up a whole new world, and it’s just an extremely exciting opportunity.”
Hmmmmmm… there’s something for you to ponder; what other Spider-Verse spinoffs would you like to see? Spider-Gwen? Spider-Punk? Someone else? I wanna know.
Spider-Noir debuts domestically on MGM+ on May 25 and then globally on Prime Video on May 27 as a binge release.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
