Nicolas Cage is glad Spider-Noir only got one season because his “high-risk” performance could “wear out [its] welcome”

Nicolas Cage says he is glad *Spider-Noir* ended after one season, despite Amazon cancelling it shortly after its debut. He felt his unconventional portrayal of Ben Reilly was a high-risk performance that might lose its appeal if repeated, and describes the season as complete and still fresh.

The show reportedly cost about $400 million for eight episodes, while its viewership was not high enough to justify the expense, despite receiving 11 Emmy nominations and a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score. Cage also declined to sign an AI waiver and doubts he will work with Amazon again. A second season had been discussed, including a possible story set during the approach to the Second World War.
