Published October 11, 2026 · Updated October 12, 2026
Nicolas Cage reportedly said on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at New York Comic Con that he probably will not work with Amazon again after refusing to sign an artificial intelligence waiver tied to Spider-Noir. As of Sunday, October 11, the reported dispute centers on whether AI could be used in connection with his work on the project.
According to reports, Cage discussed the issue during a New York Comic Con panel and contrasted Amazon’s position on AI with his own concerns. The available coverage says he refused to sign the waiver and linked that refusal to his view that he may not work with Amazon again.
Spider-Noir is the named project in the report. The source facts do not say whether the waiver affected filming, promotion, release timing, or Cage’s current contractual status.
This is not an official Disney statement. Disney has not confirmed the AI waiver dispute, any change to Spider-Noir, or any operational impact tied to the comments.
