Nicolas Cage has finally weighed in on the shocking cancellation of Spider-Noir after just one season.
Last Friday, we learned the surprising news that Prime Video has opted not to move forward with the second season of the acclaimed superhero series, despite its critical acclaim and numerous Emmy nominations. Fans have expressed disappointment on social media and are hoping that the decision will be reconsidered.
What Is Nicolas Cage's Reaction to Spider-Noir's Cancellation?
In a statement to Deadline, Nicolas Cage shared his reaction to the news that his series Spider-Noir has been canceled by Prime Video.
He expressed his satisfaction with how the show was able to tell a satisfying story of his Spider-Man variant character in just one season, and he has moved on to future projects.
"For me, one season is perfect, having said what I wanted to say with this dangerous, innovative, pop-art Spider-Man. Onwards, upwards, inwards," the Oscar winner said.
So far, the official details regarding why Prime Video decided to cancel Spider-Noir are still unknown, but reports indicate that the ratings were respectable, but not at a blockbuster level to make it viable for a second season renewal. Not only that, the series has high production costs.
The series received acclaim from critics and fans who praised its black-and-white cinematography, craftsmanship, and Cage's performance as the titular character. It recently won five Emmy Awards out of 11 nominations.
Despite the cancellation, Prime Video and Sony are said to be developing another project that will center on another character in the Spider-Man universe.
