Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse May Not Bring Back Nicolas Cage

As an enormous fan of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, I simply type of assumed all the supporting Spider-people from the primary film can be again. We know in regards to the huge three (Miles, Peter, Gwen) for positive, however Spider-Han, Peni, and Noir? They must be in there too, proper? Well, possibly not.

Speaking to Screenrant, the voice of Spider-Man Noir, the legendary Nicolas Cage, made it look like he wouldn’t be returning. “You’d have to ask Sony,” Cage mentioned. “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.”

Now, Cage could be telling the reality right here. Maybe nobody has spoken to him about it and the character isn’t within the movie. Then once more, possibly nobody has spoken to him and it’s as a result of he’s within the third movie, not the second. Or, possibly, “no one’s spoken to me” is simply his well mannered manner of not spoiling the film six months earlier than launch. (“Ask the studio” is a really typical business deflect, by the way in which.) Any a kind of might be true. So, as Cage steered, io9 did ask Sony and can replace this piece if or once we hear again.

Personally, if I needed to put cash on it, I feel he’s again. Maybe not within the 2023 sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, however there’s additionally the 2024 movie Beyond the Spider-Verse to contemplate. It would simply be wildly unorthodox and, frankly, disappointing to increase the story from Into the Spider-Verse by two motion pictures, introduce a ton of recent Spider-People, after which not carry again the fan favorites from the unique in some unspecified time in the future. Unless, in fact, the story in some way revolves round their deaths or sacrifice and no voices are wanted.

Basically, we do not know, however we’ll let you realize when or if we do. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out June 2.
