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.”
