Speaking to Outlet Screen Rant, the Oscar winner was asked if he was involved in the next installment of the series.

Cage said he hopes to reprise the role in the future, calling her “a great character.”
“I love Spider-Man Noir too,” he said. “Spider-Man is the coolest superhero. And then you combine that with Cagney and Bogart and Edward G. Robinson, come on, it’s a great character.”
