Nicolas Cage is fine with Spider-Noir getting canceled, actually
Best Pancakes In The County star Nicolas Cage says he was "relieved" when Amazon pulled the plug on his Marvel series after one season.
Nicolas Cage, who voiced Ben Reilly in Prime Video's Spider-Noir, seems content with the show's cancellation after just one season, according to an interview with IGN at a red carpet event promoting his upcoming biopic Madden. The actor expressed his relief and happiness that the streaming platform decided against producing a second season of the gritty 1940s noir superhero series.
Cage praised the show's unique and high-risk performances, stating that he didn't want to risk "wearing out his welcome" by returning to the role. He also mentioned that he appreciated the show's short run, drawing a comparison to classic TV detective series like Rock Hudson and McMillan. Fans of Cage's character can still catch Spider-Noir in animated form through the Spider-Verse, where he continues to appear as Spider-Man Noir.
Additionally, the actor has been vocal about his disapproval of the streaming platform's transition to AI-generated content, leading him to reject the studio's demand for using his likeness in AI-related projects.
