Overview
- Cage said at New York Comic Con on Saturday, Oct. 10, that he declined to sign an AI waiver Prime Video asked for on Spider‑Noir and that he is “probably not” going to work with Amazon again.
- Prime Video canceled Spider‑Noir after one season in September, a decision driven by the streamer’s commercial calculations rather than any public finding about AI use on the show.
- There is no verified public evidence that Amazon used AI to recreate Cage’s likeness or voice on Spider‑Noir, and Cage’s refusal is a personal contractual stance rather than proof of AI use.
- Cage said he wants to work more with younger directors and also suggested he may do a season of HBO’s True Detective, a casting report that HBO has not confirmed and that should be treated as unverified.
- The episode highlights a wider industry fight over generative AI and performer rights, coming after recent SAG‑AFTRA and WGA contract language that places limits on studios’ use of AI and requires consent for likeness or voice use.
