‘Spider-Noir’s Lord & Miller Were Sold On Nicolas Cage’s Take On The Hero: One Part Bogie, One Part Bugs Bunny

He’s great when people let Nic Cage be Nic Cage. 

When Nic Cage wants this role you give it to him. Don't ask questions, don't explain why just do it.

> When it came to finding the right tone for MGM+ and Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, executive producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller immediately signed on to star Nicolas Cage’s novel inspiration: 70% Humphrey Bogart and 30% Bugs Bunny. > “One of the things that you don’t think about with Noir is that you’re like, ‘It’s super serious,’” said Miller during Spider-Noir’s panel at Deadline Contenders TV event Saturday, “But Bogart always had a twinkle in his eye and he was always doing something clever, and he and Bugs Bunny have more in common than you might think.”

I mean that's the movie character but it's not the comic character like at all.
