Nicolas Cage on 'Spider-Noir,' His Most Iconic Memes, and Turning Down the Green Goblin
Nicolas Cage sat for an interview reflecting on his career, from unexpected internet fame via memes of Vampire’s Kiss, Wicker Man and Face/Off to the personal backstories behind those moments. He described his signature airport leather-jacket look as a power garment and explained how small improvisations—like the hair moment in Con Air—resonate with audiences.

He also championed releasing the series in black-and-white to reconnect younger viewers with 1930s American cinema.
