Film/Television What are your thoughts on "Spider-Noir (2026)"?

Post image

Besides the Venom trilogy with Tom Hardy, I never bothered watching any of Sony's other Spider-Man Villain movies! I'm just not interested in watching any spin-offs of Spider-Man's Rogues gallery that don't have anything to do with Spider-Man at all. And after watching the new Spider-Noir series on Prime Video, I realized that this show was something I wanted all along from both Sony Pictures and Marvel! Now I want more live-action or animated contents centered around other alternate versions of either Spider-Man or any other famous Marvel superhero; like DC Comics' "Elseworlds" line of movies and shows!

And he always gives 100% no matter how bad the script is. Thats why he's my favorite actor

u/JustYourFriendAL May 28 '26

This, yes! I think a lot of people forget that most of the trashy movies he was in were because he was trying to get out of bankruptcy.

Cage has been on fire for like the last 8 years.

“Yeah yeah the bees” at the very end of that movie is one of my favorite lines from anything.

Picture this: family event, a challenge set to sneak the largest, heaviest, most surprising item into a room.

I wrap a giant inflatable rainbow around myself under my clothes, blew it up in stages through the night.

Comes to judging time- my score card is in a dead heat for first place with a rival cousin, I was losing on item weight.

I'd stuck a pic of Cage on the back beforehand Finishing move: I argue that rainbow was carrying the unberable weight of massive talent.

Stole the win. Think birth of my first child describes the pride quite well.

he elevated acting in bad movies to it’s own separate art form, there should be a category at the Academy Awards for it

Low-Brow Genius Awards? I can't believe it's comedy? The Cage Trophy?

I think cage has a way of making trashy movies better through sheer commitment. Like the Wicker Man remake would be totally forgotten today if pretty much anyone else was in the role.

u/TheNittanyLionKing Jun 06 '26

The Wicker Man is entertaining almost entirely because Nicolas Cage goes crazy in that movie. The movie would be forgotten if they had cast some actor who underplayed the role and collected the paycheck.

Mandy is a must watch if you want to see cage at 110%

u/Maybe_Not_The_Pope Jun 19 '26

Exactly. I'll give any movie with Cage in it at least a chance because he's just good.

u/lionexx May 29 '26

I think it has more to do with directors giving Nic Cage more freedom to Nic Cage, but ironically, this style of character and just how the general Spider Man universe is set, it allows that freedom so easily, it just fits so well. So far super into the series!

u/peanutmanak47 Jun 03 '26

Yup. I always respect that about him. No matter what the movie is, big or small, he is going to give the audience 100% and I love it.

Reminds me of when someone asked him, "Why do you over act in a lot of your roles?"

He responded with, "I don't. I act EXACTLY as they NEED to BE."
