Spider-Noir, Prime Video and MGM+'s new superhero series set to succeed The Boys, will premiere in less than a week.
Yesterday marked the end of an era for Prime Video as The Boys officially reached its long-awaited conclusion. Since debuting in 2019, the dark superhero satire has been one of the streamer’s defining success stories, establishing itself as one of television’s boldest genre deconstructions.
Blending brutal action and biting social and political commentary, The Boys quickly became a global phenomenon. While its later seasons have sparked more divided reactions among fans, the series has continued to dominate online conversation. Seven years later, The Boys faces its biggest and most important challenge in giving audiences a satisfying conclusion.
Season 5’s finale arrives on Prime Video today on Wednesday, May 20, but for fans who couldn't wait out the hours, Prime Video made the finale available to watch a day early in select theatrical screenings. The streamer has repeatedly teased an explosive finale, promising to end with a bang that would leave audiences vibrating. Naturally, anticipation has been accompanied by anxiety, with many viewers questioning whether the series can indeed stick the landing.
Promotional footage and teaser images have hinted at a faithful adaptation of Garth Ennis’ comic source material, though some fans are expecting something grander. As The Boys bows out, Prime Video is already lining up its next major comic-book adaptation to help fill the void. In just a few days, audiences will return to another gritty superhero world with Spider-Noir, a live-action take on the Marvel character who previously gained mainstream popularity through Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its sequels.
The animated trilogy is still set to conclude next year with Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, but before then, the noir-inspired Spider-Man variant will headline his own standalone series. Spider-Noir premieres first on MGM+ on May 25 before arriving on Prime Video two days later on May 27. COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Marvel Personality Quiz Which MCU Hero Are You? Spider-Man · Daredevil · Iron Man · Punisher · Thor · Cap Six heroes.
One destiny. Answer 10 questions to discover which Marvel Cinematic Universe hero shares your personality, values, and fighting spirit. Will you swing, fly, or thunder your way to glory? 🕷️Spider-Man 😈Daredevil 🤖Iron Man 💀Punisher ⚡Thor 🛡️Cap FIND YOUR HERO → QUESTION 1 / 10MOTIVATION 01 What drives you to do what's right?
Choose the answer that feels most like you. AWith great power comes great responsibility — I protect those who can't protect themselves. BMy faith and my conscience — I believe justice must be served, even in the dark. CLegacy and ego, honestly — but I've learned that others depend on me now.
DThe system failed. Someone has to make sure the guilty actually pay. EDuty to the innocent and honour to my name — I was born to protect realms. FThe values I was raised with — freedom, decency, and never backing down from a bully.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10YOUR CITY 02 It's 2 AM. Where are you? Your answer says more about you than you'd think. ASwinging between skyscrapers, keeping an eye on the neighbourhood.
BRunning rooftops in Hell's Kitchen, listening for trouble. CIn my lab, upgrading my suit with a cold cup of coffee nearby. DStaking out a target I've been tracking for three weeks. ESomewhere between the stars, or at a feast that got out of hand.
FOn a morning run — I was up at 4, actually. Couldn't sleep.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10CONFLICT STYLE 03 How do you handle a villain who keeps escaping justice? Every hero has a method. What's yours? AWeb them up and leave them for the police — again.
BBuild an airtight case and dismantle their entire operation from the inside. CDeploy a containment system I designed specifically for them. Tech wins. DMake sure they don't escape a third time.
Permanently. EChallenge them to single combat. Honour demands a decisive end. FRally allies, adapt the plan, and bring them in — by the book, even if it's hard.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SECRET IDENTITY 04 How do you feel about keeping a secret identity? The mask — or the lack of one — says everything. AEssential — my loved ones would be in danger if anyone found out who I am. BCritical — the mask protects my mission as much as my face.
COverrated — I announced myself to the world and I'd do it again. DI'm a ghost. The less people know about me, the better. EMy name is known across the Nine Realms.
There's no hiding it. FI don't hide — but I understand why some need to. Transparency builds trust.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10LOSS & GRIEF 05 You've lost someone important because of your heroism. How do you carry that? Every hero pays a price. The question is how they pay it.
AWith guilt that never fully goes away — it pushes me to do better, every single day. BI channel it into purpose — their memory is the reason I keep fighting. CI buried myself in work for years. I'm only recently learning to face it.
DIt transformed me completely. I'm not the same person I was before. EWith warrior's grief — I honour them by fighting with everything I have. FI keep moving forward.
Stopping means letting the loss win. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10TEAM DYNAMICS 06 What's your role when working with a team? Who you are under pressure is who you actually are. AThe enthusiastic wildcard who somehow makes it work — and keeps the mood up.
BThe strategist who works best alone but shows up when it matters most. CThe one who funds it, equips it, and occasionally takes over the whole operation. DI don't do teams. I'm more effective operating solo, on my terms.
EThe heavy hitter — I crash in, draw fire, and turn the tide of battle. FThe leader — I earn trust, build the plan, and make sure no one gets left behind.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10MORAL CODE 07 Where do you draw the line between justice and revenge? The answer defines what kind of hero you really are. AClearly — I don't kill, and I wrestle with that line constantly. BI try to hold the line, but I've come terrifyingly close to crossing it.
CPractically — I do what's necessary to protect people, including hard calls. DI crossed that line long ago. What I do is justice — the system just won't admit it. EIn battle, victory is justice.
Mercy is earned — not automatic. FFirmly. The moment we abandon our principles, we become what we fight against.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10EVERYDAY LIFE 08 When you're not saving the world, what does life look like? The person behind the mask is always the more interesting story. ATrying to juggle school, a part-time job, and not failing my friends. BWorking as a lawyer by day, fighting for justice in court and on the streets.
CRunning a global company, attending galas, and pretending I'm sleeping enough. DQuiet. Isolated. Surviving with a clear mission and no distractions.
ENavigating a bizarre and fascinating mortal world — coffee is extraordinary. FAdapting to a world decades ahead of everything I knew. Quietly, stubbornly.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10FEAR 09 What keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of. AThe people I couldn't save — and the ones I might not reach in time tomorrow. BWhether the monster I fight every night is starting to live inside me too.
CThe threats I can see coming and whether my tech is actually good enough. DNothing. Silence is the only peace I get. I've made my choices.
EWhether I'm truly worthy — of the hammer, of the throne, of the people I protect. FA world where no one stands up anymore. Where good people do nothing.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10FINAL STAND 10 The battle is lost. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and exhausted. What do you do? This is your tiebreaker — choose carefully.
ACrack a joke to buy a second, then find the one web shot that changes everything. BBlock out everything except the sound of the next threat — and keep going. CActivate the emergency protocol I built for exactly this scenario. Always have a plan.
DI don't accept that it's lost. I keep fighting until I physically cannot anymore. ECall the lightning. All of it.
The storm answers to me. FPick up the shield. Stand up. Because as long as I can stand, it's not over.

Nicolas Cage, who voiced the Noir variant in the Spider-Verse animated films, returns to portray the character in live action. This version, however, differs from the animated interpretation. Rather than playing an alternate Peter Parker, Cage stars as Ben Reilly, an aging private investigator in 1930s New York who secretly operates as the city’s lone masked vigilante known as the Spider.
Haunted by personal tragedy and having long abandoned his crime-fighting days, Reilly is pulled back into action after a dangerous new case forces him to confront both his past and his fading sense of purpose. The series also stars Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, Abraham Popoola as Lonnie Lincoln, Brendan Gleeson as Silvio Manfredi, Jack Huston as Sandman, and Li Jun Li as Black Cat.
Developed by Oren Uziel for MGM+ and Prime Video, the eight-episode series is produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Amazon MGM Studios. All eight episodes debut on MGM+ on May 25 before arriving on Prime Video on May 27.
