Nicolas Cage says he’s ‘probably not’ working with Amazon again — and the reason isn’t just the cancellation of Spider-Noir. The actor, speaking at New York Comic Con on Saturday, made it clear: his split with Prime Video isn’t about the show’s fate. It’s about AI. He didn’t sign the waiver allowing Amazon to use artificial intelligence in the production of Spider-Noir, a decision that now seems to have sealed his exit from the platform.
'I’m not an AI-friendly actor,' he said bluntly. 'Connect those dots!' The streamer’s $50 billion investment in OpenAI wasn’t lost on him. 'I’m not a member of their club,' he added, dismissing any future collaboration. Still, the man who once played a cursed vampire in Ghost Rider and a time-traveling detective in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent isn’t stepping back from the camera.
He’s pivoting. Cage is set to return in Season 2 of True Detective, the HBO crime drama that’s become a benchmark for high-stakes storytelling. No word yet on his character, but given the series’ tone, expect something raw, layered, and deeply unsettling. And while he’s done with Amazon’s tech-forward ethos, he’s drawn to the opposite end of the spectrum, Gen Z creators.
