That may have fallen through but the Oscar-winner is getting his chance to play the hero again by voicing Peter Parker — or at least one version of him — in the upcoming animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
“There are multiple Spider-Men in different dimensions that are kind of colliding together,” says Cage of the movie. “My character’s Spider-Man Noir. He’s really Peter Parker from the ’30s. I tried to channel those noir films with Bogart, and have those kinds of sounds that he might make with Cagney, or Edward G. Robinson, that kind of way of talking. I tried to give the character that. It was a lot of fun. I think it should be quite funny. The movie definitely has a sense of humor, and that’s a good thing because it’s good for the whole family.”
For those unfamiliar with the story: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse follows Brooklyn teen Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) as he gains superpowers after a spider bite. After initially trying to pursue a superhero solo career, he soon finds himself teaming up with Spider-People from other dimensions. These include an older, only-sort-of-wiser Peter Parker (Jake Johnson). In addition, the film will also introduce Spider-Gwen (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld), Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn), and the porcine Spider-Ham (John Mulaney).
