Nicolas Cage Reacts To ‘Spider-Noir’ Cancellation After “Perfect” One-Season Run

Nicolas Cage, the actor who played Spider-Noir, has expressed satisfaction with the conclusion of the Amazon Prime Video series after just one season. In a statement obtained by TheWrap, Cage states that he feels one season is enough to convey what he intended with this innovative, pop-art take on Spider-Man. The cancellation of the series, which was set in the 1930s and adapted from Marvel's Spider-Man, was announced over three months after its debut in late May.

Cage, known for his adventurous roles, took on the high-budget live-action adaptation as a departure from his usual work. He reprised the role of Spider-Man Noir, having originated the character in a 2018 animated film. The series, which also featured Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson, received 11 Emmy nominations, the most for any Prime Video series in 2026.

Despite its cancellation, "Spider-Noir" managed to draw significant viewership, accumulating 2.6 billion viewing minutes in its first half.
