Spider Noir is no doubt one of the best Marvel live action shows to date. Note: I have to watch it in Authentic Black/White instead of True-Hue Full Color (technicolor). It gives a nostalgia rush and reminds me of old 1930s film noir series and a bit of Dick Tracy. Nicolas Cage owned this role and keep the show going with his antics and humor. Spider noir is his first television debut and he did voice the character in Into the Spidey-Verse (2018) as well. Also, you can play Spider-Noir in Spiderman Shattered Dimension (2010) as playable character. I never felt so good watching this show and sadly, second season is cancelled. Every action, comedy and Nicolas Cage just being himself makes me want to watch it start to finish.
There are 8 episodes within 42-49 minutes featuring noir-like soundtrack that sets mood what to expect from 1930 style show. I have to say, my favorite villain was Dirk Leyan as Megawatt not Electro. Andrew Lewis Caldwell did amazingly well and got into character, as his character was Broadway actor. Sadly, season two is axed and never going to see him again. All the actors did amazing work and give me chills as well. Love how the show incorporates humor as well. Spider Noir makes me want to watch classic black and white movies along with tv shows as well. I can see what Nicolas was inspired by Humphrey Bogart performance in The Big Sleep (1946).
Personally, I never heard of Humphrey Bogart but will check his clips of him on YouTube. Also, he was inspired by Bugs Bunny and James Cagney along with Edward G. Robinson, Cage blew me away eventually. Anyways Spider-Noir is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video. What are your thoughts on Spider-Noir? Let me know in the comments below. Let’s go to the next Spider Man media that’s Brand-New Day.
Spider-Man Brand New Day
Spider Man Brand New is a superhero movie developed by Daniel Destin Cretton that’s released on July 31, 2026. The story takes place after No Way Home (2021) went Peter Parker (Tom Holland) lost his memory of MJ and Need along with others who are close to him after Dr. Strange cast a spell. In the present, Peter Park buys flowers for Aunt May Gravestone and sees videos of his friends Need along with MJ on social media. While Spider Man taking down villains like Tombstone, Boomerang and other street level criminal. Peter Parker gets called from Jean Dewolff (Liza Colon-Zayas) about an armored car roaming in the streets of New York.
Peter also meets The Punisher (Joh Bernthal) who is also pursuing the armored car. The armored car crashes into prison headquarters and finds out that mysterious telepath is controlling it. Unknown telepath gets into Spiderman head but he rejects it, while Scorpion escapes on a helicopter. Peter comes back into his hideout and finds out that he got organic website further his mutation. While going to a house warming party hosted by Need (Jacob Batalon) and seeing MJ with a new boyfriend. The trio have a conversation and Peter leaves the party. Peter goes to Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) for answers about mysterious telepath along with mutation.
Next Peter goes to Damage Control to talk with Bill Metzger about telepath. Peter goes back home onto the rooftop and sees MJ (Zendeya). MJ states that she remembers Peter but it was a lie after unknown telepath tricks him. Peter goes to see the Punisher and wants him to protect MJ and goes after telepath (which was later named Jean Grey).

Jean gets into Peter head and Aunt May talk to her. While Punisher is shots Peter in the back. Spidey goes to the hospital and Frank Castle disguised himself as Spiderman assuring, he is okay. While Peter walks away and Jean Grey gets a bus. Need says Peter name and does special handshake. The film ends there, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a breath of fresh air and introduce new gen X-Men like Jean Grey. Speaking of that, Jean Grey was antagonist in this film. Jean Grey is known as omega-level mutant if she gets in contact with Phoenix. We get a teamup with The Punisher and Spiderman just like comics (I haven’t read them).
I couldn’t believe The Hand from Daredevil rogue gallery appeared in this movie. In the ending of the movie, Jean Grey might go to Xavier Institute of Gifted in new X-Men movie coming soon. Daniel Destin Cretton did Shang-Chi and Wonder Man keeping it grounded along with staying true to the comics. Need is the only person that remembers Peter but next movie probably be MJ. Spider Man Brand New Day can be emotional and had Peter go through changes. Peter had used a device for webshooter but now he got organic after Jean attack him. Daniel uses mask close up and POV shots making you feel like web-slinger.
Spider Man Brand New Day made Tom Holland one of the best Spidey actors out there. Also, actors like Zendeya, Sadie Sink and more did a great job. I can’t wait for Avengers Doomsday where Fantastic Four: First Steps, Black Panther and others will appear to defeat Dr. Doom. Anyways, Brand New Day is a must watch for X-Men and Spidey fans alike and give it an 8/10. I don’t know if there will another Spider Man film after this. We will see if Peter and MJ get back together and things go back to normal.
Closing
The film is 145 minutes of explanation and exploration of Jean Grey. It’s a introduction of mutants and open doors as well. Also, Spider Man is finding inner demons as well. What your thoughts on Spider Man: Brand New Day and make sure to watch it on online. Along with buying DVD/Blu-ray/Digital, thank you for reading this blogpost. Tune into the next one from yours.
