Nicolas Cage returns to the screen in Prime Video's 'Spider-Noir', where he plays Ben Riley, a private investigator endowed with spider powers. Critics have lauded Cage's ability to embody the character within the show's dark narrative, distinguishing it from his previous roles. The series has sparked interest while fans await confirmation for a second season. Concurrently, Cage's earlier films, 'Ghost Rider' and its sequel, have surged in popularity on streaming platforms, ranking #5 and #10 on Sony Pictures Core's Top 10 charts in the U.S. Both films, released in 2007 and 2012, grossed over $361.3 million globally but received poor reviews, with 'Ghost Rider' earning a 28% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes.
