Nicolas Cage based Spider-Man Noir on Humphrey Bogart in 'Into the Spider-Verse'

Actor Nicolas Cage, who is voicing Spider-Man Noir in Sony's upcoming animated film 'Into the Spider-Verse', has said he based his performance on Humphrey Bogart. The 54-year-old actor said Bogart and other Hollywood screen legends from the '30s and '40s served as inspirations for the characterization of Spider-Man Noir.

"There are multiple Spider-Men in different dimensions that are kind of colliding together.My character's Spider-Man Noir. He's really Peter Parker from the '30s. I tried to channel those noir films with (Humphrey) Bogart, and have those kinds of sounds that he might make with (James) Cagney, or Edward G Robinson, that kind of way of talking," Cage said.
"I tried to give the character that. It was a lot of fun. I think it should be quite funny. The movie definitely has a sense of humour, and that's a good thing because it's good for the whole family," he added.
The animated film is set in an alternate universe from Sony's other 'Spider-Man' properties but introduces a shared multiverse. It features actor Shameik Moore as Miles Morales who takes on the role of 'Spider-Man'.
As Morales juggles his high school life with his status as a superhero, he is introduced to the 'Spider-Verse' where there can be more than one Spider-Man.
