Nicholas Cage was back to work on his latest project on Friday. The actor, 61, who is starring in the live-action version of Spider-Man: Noir, was costumed in a dreary looking brown suit and overcoat for the night's filming in San Pedro, California.

The area has been experiencing the high winds which fueled the wildfires that ravaged Pacific Palisades and Altadena, resulting in production being shut down briefly. The set was some 40 miles away from the nearest blaze, but air quality in the region has been affected by toxic particles from the flames.

In the new series for MGM+/Amazon Prime Video, Cage will give shape to the character he began voicing in the Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. In the eight-episode series, Cage will star as an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city's one and only superhero.
This role will mark the Academy Award winner's first regular television role. Nicolas Cage, 61, returned to the set of Spider-Man: Noir Friday in San Pedro, California, following a brief shutdown due to unhealthy weather conditions caused by high winds and poor air quality due to the Los Angeles fires.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Cage spoke about being inspired a popular, Emmy-winning series for his decision to give TV a try. 'I saw Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad stare at a suitcase for half the episode,' the actor told the publication. 'Just him on the floor looking at a suitcase thinking, "What’s in it? Do I do this? Don’t I do it?" I thought, "We don’t have time to do that in movies." So that to me seemed like an opportunity to open it up a little.
