IT Home On October 11, actor Nicolas Cage said that after refusing to sign the exemption agreement for using AI in *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, he “very likely will not work with Amazon anymore”.
According to IGN's report today, Nicholas Cage clearly expressed his views on AI during a panel discussion at the 2026 New York Comic Con. He just starred in the Amazon Prime Video series “Spider-Man: Shadow”
“Amazon is a company that strongly supports AI, and it even invested up to $50 billion in OpenAI.I’m not the kind of actor who is friendly to AI,” Kechi said. “I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the disclaimer agreement allowing ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ to use AI. I might not work with that studio anymore, but that’s okay.”
IT Home noticed that as early as the beginning of 2025, Nicholas Cage publicly opposed AI performances, stating that he “believes firmly that machines should not be allowed to dream for us”.
Nicholas Cage said that robots cannot reflect human situations. If an actor allows even a single AI robot to control his performance, he will fall into a dead end, and all integrity, purity, and artistic truth will be replaced solely for economic benefit.
“Spider-Man: Shadow” premiered in May this year, with a total of 8 episodes. Its Douban rating is currently 7.2. According to Deadline reports, the second season of “Spider-Man: Shadow” has been canceled.
