‘I Meant It When I Said What I Said’ — Nicolas Cage is Actually Relieved That Spider-Noir Got Canceled
IGN got the chance to catch up with Nicolas Cage on the red carpet for his upcoming sports comedy flick Madden, where he opened up about his thoughts on Spider-Noir’s cancellation.
Nicolas Cage expressed relief over the cancellation of Spider-Noir, the animated Spider-Man series he starred in. Released on Prime Video earlier this year, the show received positive reviews but was ultimately canceled by the streamer in September due to falling out of its top 10 shows. Cage felt that one season was perfect and that he had said everything he wanted to say with the character of Ben Reilly.
He emphasized that he didn't want to repeat the character and wore out his welcome, stating that Ben Riley's uniqueness made a one-season run ideal. Cage also revealed that he refused to sign a waiver allowing the use of artificial intelligence in Spider-Noir, expressing his disapproval of AI in the industry. With Amazon being a highly AI-friendly company, Cage confirmed that he is unlikely to work with the studio again, but is looking forward to his upcoming role in Madden, set to release on November 18.
