- Quick Answer: Spider-Noir premieres May 27, 2026, on Prime Video, starring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly alongside Brendan Gleeson (Silvermane), Jack Huston (Sandman), and Li Jun Li.
Fans have finally gotten their first glimpse of the villains set to face Ben Reilly, aka The Spider, played by Nicolas Cage, in the upcoming Spider-Noir.
By the looks of it, the new show is shaping up to be one of 2026’s most intense comic-book adaptations, thanks to the dangerous lineup of enemies involved.
From a powerful mob boss to a cunning thief, here are the five Marvel villains confirmed to appear in Spider-Noir so far.
Felicia “Cat” Hardy
Felicia “Cat” Hardy joins the growing roster of villains in Spider-Noir. Portrayed by Li Jun Li, the character is described as a “nightclub singer with ties to an underworld conspiracy.”
Originally introduced as Black Cat in the Marvel universe, she is a skilled thief, occasional antagonist, and complicated love interest of Spider-Man.
By the looks of it, she may take on a similar role in the Prime Video series, a classic femme fatale operating in morally gray territory who could serve as an informant to the hero.
However, there’s also a strong possibility that she ultimately becomes one of the protagonist’s most dangerous enemies.
Sandman
Spider-Noir will introduce a different Flint Marko, aka Sandman, played by Jack Huston.
Unlike the traditional Marvel lore version made of living sand, this iteration is described as having skin that “feels like granite,” similar to the character’s depiction in the original Spider-Man Noir comics.
In the series, he appears to serve as a bodyguard, likely for Silvermane, and, much like in the comics, may be shown brutally taking down his victims with his bare fists.
Molten Man
Molten Man also makes an appearance in the Spider-Noir trailer, unveiling his pyrotechnic abilities similar to the character’s original powers in the Marvel universe.
Mark Raxton is known for his metallic, heat-generating body, capable of producing intense flames, radiation, and near invulnerability. Judging by the trailer, he may have been hired to target Silvermane.
Electro
The Spider-Noir trailer gives a brief glimpse of Electro, with his hand crackling with powerful electricity.
Known for using electrical attacks on his victims, he appears to retain the same powers in the upcoming series, suggesting that fans will see a classic version of the iconic villain.
Silvermane
For the main antagonist in Spider-Noir, Silvio Manfredi, aka Silvermane, and played by Brendan Gleeson, will appear as a paranoid crime boss, just like in the original Marvel Comics.
A wealthy and influential figure, Silvio knows a great deal about Ben’s past and is likely to be at the center of the aging spy’s investigation. Judging by the lineup of villains, he appears to be Ben’s most dangerous enemy.
Ben Reilly’s investigative journey is sure to be both intense and thrilling with these villains when Spider-Noir premieres on Prime Video on May 27.
