‘I Meant It When I Said What I Said’ — Nicolas Cage is Actually Relieved That Spider-Noir Got Canceled

IGN got the chance to catch up with Nicolas Cage on the red carpet for his upcoming sports comedy flick Madden, where he opened up about his thoughts on Spider-Noir’s cancellation.

Released on Prime Video earlier this year, Cage stars as Ben Reilly in this animated take on New York’s resident web-slinger. Available to watch in both black and white and color, the show received strong reviews on the outset, but officially got canned by the streamer in September after falling out of its top 10 shows — oddly, much to Cage’s relief.

In a statement to Deadline, Cage said, “For me, one season is perfect, having said what I wanted to say with this dangerous, innovative, pop-art Spider-Man. Onwards, upwards, inwards.”

He doubled down on this sentiment while chatting with IGN’s Jeffrey Vega in early November, who asked if the actor felt there was still more of Ben Reilly’s story left to tell.

“No,” Cage answered. “I meant it when I said what I said. It’s a perfect season. You never wanna get stuck repeating a character and wear out your welcome. Ben Riley is so idiosyncratic. I was doing something that was pretty high-risk, tightrope stuff — if you do that for season 2, season 3, you could really wear out your welcome.

' Because now I’m doing True Detective, and that’s only one season. It’s better that way, you know? I liked it when you would see Rock Hudson and Macmillan ? and it’s one season. I didn’t wanna keep repeating it.
