Nicolas Cage Reacts To 'Spider
Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Nicolas Cage expressed satisfaction with Prime Video's decision not to renew Spider-Noir for a second season, stating that one season perfectly conveyed the story he wanted to tell.
- Spider-Noir, Cage's first TV role, received critical acclaim with a 92% critics score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as 11 Emmy nominations, the most for any Prime Video series in 2026.
- Despite praise, the show's high production costs and moderate viewership likely contributed to its cancellation after a largely complete first season.
- Cage drew inspiration from classic 1930s and 1940s films to create a unique performance style for Spider-Noir, blending film noir elements with the Spider-Man character.
- Cage remains committed to streaming projects and will next appear in Prime Video’s Madden, premiering November 18, reflecting his early and ongoing support for streaming platforms as a means to sustain actors' careers.
