Summary
Nicolas Cage said he refused to sign an AI waiver for Amazon's "Spider-Noir" and is probably done working with the studio.
At New York Comic Con, Cage tied that stance to Amazon's AI push, citing its $50 billion investment in OpenAI and saying he is "not an AI-friendly actor."
"Spider-Noir" was canceled last month after one season despite 11 Emmy nominations and 2.6 billion minutes viewed in its first six weeks.
Cage also said his next project will be a season of HBO's "True Detective," though HBO did not immediately confirm his involvement.
He added that he wants to work more in television and with Gen-Z filmmakers, praising "Backrooms" director Kane Parsons and hands-on creators coming up through YouTube.
