Sony's Academy Award-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse gave us some pretty interesting characters. A particularly striking variant is Spider-Man Noir, who was voiced by the talented Nicolas Cage. But, while Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is going to feature a cluster of new spiders, the actor recently confirmed he won't be among them.
Cage broke the news to Screen Rant's Caitlin Tyrell while promoting his upcoming western film The Old Way, saying: 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. Cage does not know the reason why Spider-Man Noir is not returning for the sequel.
Spider-Man Noir is one of the Spider-people introduced in the first film alongside Gwen Stacy's Spider-Gwen, an older Peter B. Parker, Spider-Ham, and Peni Parker (aka SP//dr). The multiverse Spider-team helps Miles Morales get a handle on his powers and ultimately defeat Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin.
