2018 is the year fans will see Nicolas Cage as both Superman and Spider-Man, something arguably more exciting than
Avengers: Infinity War. Ten years of buildup has nothing on Cage lending his voice for two animated superhero movies.
It is a pleasure to see Cage sinking back into comic book movies after his tremendous turn in
Kick-Ass. The actor, who has been focusing on B-movies as of late, has already fufilled his role as Superman in
Teen Titans Go! to the Movies, with
Into the Spider-Verse hitting theaters later this year.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly for their fall preview issue, Cage had this to say regarding Spider-Man Noir:
There are multiple Spider-Men in different dimensions that are kind of colliding together. My character is Spider-Man Noir. He’s really Peter Parker from the [1930s]. I tried to channel those noir films with [Humphrey] Bogart, and have those kinds of sounds that he might make with [James] Cagney, or Edward G. Robinson, that kind of way of talking. I tried to give the character that. It was a lot of fun. I think it should be quite funny. The movie definitely has a sense of humor, and that’s a good thing because it’s good for the whole family.
Considering the era from which his character came, it is no surprise that Cage is taking inspiration from the classics. It is also welcome to hear that the film is a lot of fun. With killer animation and a hand from Phil Lord and Chris Miller,
Into the Spider-Verse is sure to swing through the box office when it hits theaters in December.
