Actor discusses future career plans
Cage stated during a Spotlight panel that he wants to collaborate with more Gen Z directors. He noted that Hollywood studios are increasingly pushing projects involving artificial intelligence technology. The actor expressed uncertainty about how performers can remain relevant as the industry moves so quickly.
Refusal of AI waiver cited
The performer explained that Amazon has invested billions into OpenAI and is very friendly toward AI tools. Cage clarified that he is not an AI-friendly actor and did not sign a waiver allowing its use on Spider-Noir. He suggested this decision means he probably will not be working with that studio again.
