'I tried to channel those noir films with Bogart, and have those kinds of sounds that he might make with [James] Cagney, or Edward G. Robinson, that kind of way of talking,' he told ET at the time. It was announced this May that Cage had been tapped to star in Noir, a live-action serious about the character he previously only played as a cartoon.
The logline describes the show as being about 'an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero,' via Variety. Cage, a longtime movie star who won an Oscar for his 1995 turn in Leaving Las Vegas, has never been a regular on a TV series before. Two months before the new show was officially announced, he dished that he was toying with the idea of playing Spider-Man Noir on the small screen.
'Well, I can say that we have been talking. It's no secret that I love the character. I think the character provides another mashup of sorts,' he spilled.
'I can combine my favorite golden age performances; Robinson, Cagney, Bogart, with a character that is, I guess, widely considered Stan Lee's masterpiece,' he said. 'I see it as a kind of foray into a pop art mashup of, sort of a Jungian, Lichtenstein, mashup by way of Bogart and Cagney, but nothing's definitive yet. It's just conversation,' he told Collider at the time.
