Nicolas Cage & Brendan Gleeson on Spider-Noir: Marvel’s Darkest Spider-Man Yet

Nicolas Cage & Brendan Gleeson on Spider-Noir: Marvel’s Darkest Spider-Man Yet

Author: Kyle McMahon | iHeartRadio May 29, 2026 Duration: 21:22
Spider-Man. Nicolas Cage. Film noir. Brendan Gleeson. Spider-Noir. A black-and-white detective story wrapped inside a Marvel universe.

Yeah, we’re doing that this week.

On this episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, I sit down with Nicolas Cage and Brendan Gleeson to talk all about Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, the stylish new live-action series based on one of the coolest Spider-Man variants ever created.

Nic shares how Spider Noir became one of the rare projects that turned out exactly the way he imagined it, the artistic influences behind his performance and which one of his iconic characters he’d throw into Spider Noir’s world just to watch the chaos unfold.

Brendan Gleeson joins me to discuss stepping into the role of Silvermane, why he decided to reinvent the character for this version of the story, working alongside Nicolas Cage and what makes Spider-Noir feel so different from traditional superhero fare.

Plus, I make my case for why you should absolutely watch the series in authentic black and white. I’m not saying I’m right… but I’m right.

If you’re a Spider-Man fan, a Nicolas Cage fan, a Brendan Gleeson fan, a noir fan or just someone who misses when comic book adaptations took weird creative swings, this episode is for you.

Let’s go.
