As the highly successful and critically acclaimed film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse continues to captivate audiences, there is a lingering question: Where is Nicolas Cage?
In the previous installment, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Cage delighted fans with his portrayal of Spider-Noir, but he was notably absent from the sequel. In an interview with ScreenRant, Cage revealed that he was not contacted by Sony to reprise his role. When asked about the possibility of Spider-Noir’s return in Across the Spider-Verse, Cage expressed his love for the character and his desire to reprise the role, but he remains uncertain about his involvement.
“You’d have to ask Sony. I don’t know what’s going on with that. No one’s spoken to me about that. Ask them. I don’t know. I really don’t. I wish they would. I love Spider-Man Noir, too. I think that’s a great character. Spider-Man’s the coolest superhero. And then you combine that with Cagney and Bogart and Edward G. Robinson, come on, it’s a great character.”
Is Nicolas Cage finished with Spider-Noir?
In Across the Spider-Verse, not only Spider-Noir but also Spider-Ham and Peni Parker are noticeably absent. However, this appears to be a deliberate choice made for the sake of storytelling rather than a deliberate exclusion.
The sequel introduces a multitude of new characters, including various Spider-Man variations such as Spider-Punk, Pavitr Prabhakar, Jessica Drew, Miguel O’Hara, and the film’s antagonist, Spot. To prevent overwhelming the audience, it seems that the filmmakers intentionally focused on these new characters, leaving out some of the original Spider-variants.
But does this mean we will never see Cage’s Spider-Noir again? There is reason to hope, as Spider-Noir, Spider-Ham, and Peni Parker make a brief appearance at the end of Across the Spider-Verse. This suggests that they may play a more significant role in the upcoming third installment, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
