Nicolas Cage isn’t pulling punches — on stage at Fan Expo Dallas, he called the current MCU a 'glorified WWE,' and it wasn’t just a joke. The Oscar winner, fresh off his turn as Spider-Noir, said the franchise’s storytelling has devolved into little more than spectacle: ‘It’s cutting all to the fight.’ He didn’t mince words. What started as ‘marvelous’, the weaving of character arcs, the layered backstories. Is now, in his view, a parade of ‘ridiculous outfits’ and choreographed brawls. 'One of the things I liked about Spider-Noir,' he added, 'was it wasn’t cutting to the fight.' It was a detective story. A mystery. That mattered. Now? Not so much. The show itself didn’t survive its first season. Prime Video axed it last month, with Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television already scouting new Marvel projects under their partnership. Cage called the cancellation a loss for narrative depth. He praised Oren Uziel’s vision, ‘dangerous, innovative, pop-art Spider-Man’. And lamented that the series never got a second chance. But the real fire is not about one show. It’s about what the MCU has become. And Cage, who once played a man haunted by his own shadow, seems to be saying: stop chasing the punch. Start telling the story.
