Nicolas Cage the ‘Creative Force’ on New ‘Spider-Noir’ T.V. Show: Execs ‘Are in Over Their Heads’


Nicolas Cage is taking his new role on the Spider-Man spinoff series 'very seriously' and inputting his own ideas, a source exclusively tells Closer.

Nic, 61, has reportedly been in debt a number of times, and once owed $6 million to the IRS after “over-investing” in real estate, which forced him to take a string of not-so-A-list roles.

Yes, the executives are in over their heads and Amazon is in wait-and-see mode because there are a lot of expensive special effects still to be added, but when it comes to story and the soul of the Spider-Man franchise, Nic has stepped up and he’s undeniably the one creative force on this show that is making an enormous difference.”
