Speaking with Collider recently, Cage was asked about the reports that he might be in talks to play Spider-Man Noir in the live-action series that is currently in the works.

He confirmed that he is indeed in talks to reprise the role and expressed his love for the character which is why he is open to star in the project.

"Well, I can say that we have been talking. It's no secret that I love the character. I think the character provides another mash-up of sorts," Cage said.

"I can combine my favorite golden age performances, i.e. Robinson, Cagney, Bogart, with a character that is, I guess, widely considered [to be] Stan Lee's masterpiece."

The Oscar winner continued, "I see it as a kind of foray into a pop art mash-up of, sort of, a [Jungian] Lichtenstein, mash-up by way of Bogart and Cagney, but nothing's definitive yet. It's just conversation."

This is exciting news for fans who have been looking forward to the news as we have an assurance from Cage himself that he is open to starring in the project.

It is interesting to see what the outcome of the conversation will be and whether Cage will end up agreeing. Fans are definitely hoping that it will lead to the latter soon.
