2026 continues to be the year of Spider-Man. At the end of the month, Tom Holland will finally return to his role as the MCU's web-slinger in the much-anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day , yet he's far from the only variant of Spidey active at the moment. Nicolas Cage got his moment in the sun as Ben Reilly, a different yet familiar version of his Spider-Verse character, Spider-Noir , in the self-titled hit 1930s-set Prime Video series back in May, which recently earned a bit of Emmy recognition . Towards the end of the year, the character is also preparing for an animated comeback with Season 2 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man , which will continue to explore the character's early days as a superhero.
