Cage, who admitted \u201cyou can never say never\u201d and is \u201copen\u201d to the idea of Broadway, ended up taking on the role as Spider-Man Noir and his alternate alter-ego Ben Reilly in Amazon Prime Video\u2019s upcoming series Spider-Noir.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019m just trying to learn more and more, and I felt after I finished the series of Spider-Noir, it did empower me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like, \u2018Wow, I actually did it. I got through a season of television.\u2019 It\u2019s not easy.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have different directors. It\u2019s almost like a factory dynamic and you\u2019ve got to fit in that and you\u2019ve got to make it work and still be amusing and entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Dream Scenario, Cage felt like he\u2019d said everything he could \u201cwith cinema\u201d, and so it made sense to join his first television series.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can I do to learn? Where can I go next?<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to a point after Dream Scenario where I was just like, you know, I think I\u2019ve said everything I\u2019ve had to say with cinema. I don\u2019t know what else to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor, whose recent career resurgence has included acclaimed performances in Pig, Dream Scenario and horror thriller Longlegs, has remained a constant fascination for movie fans thanks to his unpredictable mix of prestige dramas, surreal indies and action franchises that have defined his career since films such as Leaving Las Vegas, Face\/Off and National Treasure.<\/p>\n
Cage recently explained he has never wanted to limit himself to either heroes or villains during his career.<\/p>\n
He told People magazine: \u201cI\u2019ve played plenty of villains. I like both.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they\u2019re both important parts of cinema. I would not want to get trapped into doing one thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cage, who admitted \u201cyou can never say never\u201d and is \u201copen\u201d to the idea of Broadway, ended up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[1443,74,9218,222624,430,299,156,2683,11692,111,139,95231,69,25319,8667,108267,20110,437],"class_list":["post-434981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-about","tag-after","tag-before","tag-cage","tag-celebrities","tag-dream","tag-entertainment","tag-move","tag-nearly","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nicolas","tag-nz","tag-retired","tag-retiring","tag-scenario","tag-thought","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
