Cage said he refused an AI waiver for Spider-Noir and may not work with Amazon again, citing the company’s $50 billion OpenAI investment.
- On Saturday at New York Comic Con, actor Nicolas Cage stated he is "probably not" working with Amazon again after refusing to sign an AI waiver for the recently canceled series Spider-Noir.
- Amazon has invested $50 billion in OpenAI, a move Cage criticized as incompatible with his artistic values. "I am not an AI-friendly actor," he said, explaining his refusal to allow generative AI on his project.
- Prime Video canceled Spider-Noir last month after one season, despite earning 11 Emmy Award nominations and amassing 2.6 billion minutes viewed in its first six weeks, surprising industry observers.
- Cage confirmed he will star in the upcoming fifth season of HBO's True Detective, announcing the news spontaneously during the Comic Con panel to thunderous applause from the crowd.
- Moving forward, the actor expressed interest in collaborating with Gen Z directors creating projects "from scratch and by hand," prioritizing human creativity over AI-driven production methods in his career choices.
