The habit gets a new name.
Nicolas Cage’s “commitment to fearlessness” is a phrase that could be used to describe most of his performances. Brendan Gleeson, who stars alongside Cage in Spider-Noir, says that working with him was a mix of embracing theatricality and maintaining the integrity of the story. Cage’s unpredictability was expected, but what surprised Gleeson was his commitment to making it work. The two actors had an understanding of the tone they wanted to achieve, and they felt they could push it. The result is a performance that is both over-the-top and grounded.
