Amazon Prime Video released a first look at the actor in the title role of its upcoming Spider-Noir series on Monday (May 12). Granted, he’s hidden away beneath all of the dark layers of warm clothing, face masks, and gloves, but it’s him all right.

So what else is there to know about Spider-Noir? Here’s a look.
