A version of the Spider-Noir character, voiced by Cage, briefly appeared in the animated masterpieces <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2018\/12\/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-review-more-spider-people-means-a-better-film\/\"><em>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em><\/a> (2018) and <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/culture\/2023\/12\/film-technica-our-favorite-movies-of-2023\/\"><em>Across the Spider-Verse<\/em><\/a> (2023).
