Two major Spider-Man<\/a> villains are getting reimagined in 2026.<\/p>\n

In a new post from Omelete to promote CCXP 2026, the Spider-Noir<\/a> series is being used to market the event, revealing new shots of the characters from the show. Two of the players featured include the new live-action takes on Electro and Sandman, respectively. Check it out below:<\/p>\n

\n Spider-Man Villains In Spider-Noir<\/p>\n

Jack Huston has been tapped to bring Flint Marko to life, making him the second actor in live-action to play Sandman after Thomas Haden Church’s big screen iteration in Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man: No Way Home. As of right now, the actor, who is seemingly playing Electro, has yet to be identified.<\/p>\n

The Marvel drama will unravel a new spin on the web-crawler’s mythology, with Nicolas Cage playing Marvel’s Ben Reilly<\/a> instead of Peter Parker, which will be explained in the series. The Hollywood star first voiced Spider-Man Noir in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as a Peter variant from another universe.<\/p>\n

Another Marvel villain who gets highlighted in Omelete’s CCXP 2026 marketing is Silvermane, who will be played by Brendan Gleeson, marking the character’s live-action debut. The Spider-Noir TV show<\/a> will take place in the 1930s, with Cage’s hero being referred to as The Spider.<\/p>\n

The CCXP 2026 designs also give another look at Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, who may or may not have some Black Cat connections. There is a fifth player, as a man in a pink business suit and vest can be spotted, but it’s unclear who he is meant to be in Spider-Noir.<\/p>\n

Given the mobster direction of Spider-Noir, it’s possible that this could be a reimagined incarnation of Marvel’s Hammerhead, a classic Spider-Man villain, but that has yet to be confirmed. The potential cast member could be Abraham Popoola’s mystery player, as his character was described as “a World War I veteran who is looking for an opportunity to get ahead” when he was first cast.<\/p>\n

MGM+ will first debut Spider-Noir on May 25 domestically before all eight episodes arrive on Prime Video globally as of May 27.<\/p>\n
