Nicolas Cage is not losing sleep over the cancellation of “Spider-Noir.”
Prime Video cancelled the Marvel series after one season, despite the show receiving 11 Emmy nominations.
Cage, who played the 1930s version of Spider-Man in the series, has now given fans a surprisingly calm response.
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 actor’s response came shortly after news broke that Prime Video would not order a second season.
“Spider-Noir” followed Cage’s character as a private investigator operating in 1930s New York.
The series also starred Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Brendan Gleeson, and Jack Huston.
Cage’s performance earned plenty of attention, especially because the actor returned to the Spider-Man character after voicing Spider-Man Noir in the animated “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”
The cancellation still came as a surprise.
“Spider-Noir” earned 11 Emmy nominations and recorded 2.6 billion viewing minutes during its first six weeks, according to Nielsen figures reported by TheWrap.
But Cage appears ready to move on.
After getting the chance to tell the story he wanted, the actor seems happy to leave Spider-Noir’s future behind.
For him, one season was enough.
