Prime Video canceled “Spider-Noir” after just one season, and while fans were shocked, it was good news for star Nicolas Cage, who has no desire to keep telling Ben Reilly’s story.

Speaking with IGN in a recent interview, the “National Treasure” actor responded with a simple “no” when asked if he felt there was more of the private investigator’s plot to explore. “It’s a perfect season. You never wanna get stuck repeating a character and wear out your welcome. Ben Riley is so idiosyncratic. I was doing something that was pretty high-risk, tightrope stuff — if you do that for Season 2, Season 3, you could really wear out your welcome.”
