Nicolas Cage says he wanted to play his 1930s superhero detective in Spider-Noir like a "spider pretending to be a person"

Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir.

Executive producers and Spider-Verse writing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller say Nicolas Cage had a pretty specific idea as to how he wanted to portray Spider-Noir in the upcoming Prime Video series.

"That trailer is great. They did a wonderful job. He's amazing," Lord told Collider. "He had this great idea, which was, 'I want to play this like a spider pretending to be a person.'" As silly as this might sound on the surface, Cage is one of the best actors of quite possibly all time (and I mean this wholeheartedly)... so we get where he's coming from, and so do Lord and Miller.
