Nicolas Cage recently shared his thoughts on whether his character’s story in Spider-Noir needs to continue. Cage, who plays Ben Reilly in the Marvel series, is pleased with the current story and doesn’t feel the need for another season.
In an interview with IGN, the 62-year-old actor was asked whether there’s still a story to tell with Spider-Noir. Cage replied, “No, no, I meant it when I said what I said, that it’s a perfect season. You never want to get stuck repeating a character and wear out your welcome. Ben Reilly is so idiosyncratic. You know, I was doing something that was pretty high-risk tightrope stuff. You do that season two, season three, and you could really wear out your welcome. So when they didn’t pick it up, I was like, I love that character, and I love that season, and it will always be there, and it will always be fresh.”
Spider-Noir also marks a first for Cage’s acting career
Despite his decades-long career in Hollywood, Spider-Noir marks Cage’s first major live-action television acting role. The actor has built his career primarily around movies, making the Marvel adaptation a new experience for him. The role of Ben Reilly gave Cage an opportunity to explore a different format.
Spider-Noir follows Ben, a struggling private investigator in 1930s New York, who confronts his troubled past after a personal tragedy, as the city’s sole superhero. Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot served as the showrunners and executive producers of the series. They also developed the series with the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse team, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal.
The cast also includes Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Brendan Gleeson, Jack Huston, and Abraham Popoola. All eight episodes of Spider-Noir are available to stream on Prime Video. Viewers can choose to watch the series in Authentic Black and White or True-Hue Color.
