  "account": "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.",
