  "account": "Nicolas Cage has criticized Amazon for alleged use of artificial intelligence in his upcoming series Spider-Noir, stating he may not work with the studio again. Cage, who stars as Ben Reilly in the Marvel-inspired series, refused to sign a waiver allowing AI to be used, making it clear he is not an \"AI-friendly actor.\" The live-action series, based on Spider-Man Noir comics, aired on Amazon's streaming service Prime Video in May but was cancelled after one season despite 11 Emmy nominations. Cage expressed interest in future television projects, including a potential fifth season of HBO's True Detective.\n\nAndrew Garfield shared an emotional story about an encounter with a Spider-Man fan during a layover in Denver. The fan, wearing a Spider-Man T-shirt, recognized Garfield and repeatedly asked if he was the iconic superhero. Garfield playfully acknowledged his past role as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man films and described the fan's emotional reaction as \"very cool\" and \"very chill, but she was sweet, very, very sweet.\" The encounter left Garfield with a memorable experience that he shared with People magazine. Garfield's next major project is the biographical comedy-drama Artificial, set to release in US theatres on December 25, 2026.",
