  "account": "Nicolas Cage confirmed he likely won't work with Amazon again following his refusal to sign an AI waiver for Spider-Noir. During a panel at New York Comic Con 2026, the National Treasure actor expressed his distaste for AI technology. Cage's involvement with Amazon's Prime Video project ended when the show was canceled last month, though he wouldn't have been thrilled to return for a second season. Amazon has invested $50 billion in OpenAI, making it an AI-friendly company. Cage, however, is not an AI-friendly actor and declined to sign the waiver for Spider-Noir, stating he wouldn't work with that studio again. This stance aligns with his previous opposition to AI, which he has publicly criticized in the past. Cage now supports other anti-AI filmmakers, including YouTuber-turned-director Kane Parsons, and he looks forward to collaborating with younger, handcrafted filmmakers. Despite Spider-Noir's cancellation, Cage is set to appear in Madden as John Madden, a potential final project with Amazon MGM, as well as in the upcoming season of True Detective and the voice role in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse in 2027.",
