Makuochi Echebiri is a News Writer for Collider.  He has been interested in creative writing from as far back as high school, and he would consume pretty much anything that’s film or TV. However, his truest love lies in the presence of historical epics and thrillers.

Lured by the brilliance of Middle Earth from an early age both in print and on screen, his palate has since expanded to other realms including Westeros, Kattegat among others. He also possesses a great appetite for the stories that emanate from the vastness of space. Even though he is no Avenger.

Obsessed with storytelling and having works of his own that have yet to make it to print, he is content to use that ability to communicate to as many as are reachable. In his spare time, he looks out for avenues where he can aid people aside from his plans to reign over this earthly realm. Yes…you heard that first here.

A few high-profile cancellations have rocked the streaming world this year, but perhaps the most shocking remains Prime Video's decision to cancel Nicolas Cage's Spider-Noir after just one season. Widely regarded as one of the best shows of the year, Spider-Noir earned enormous critical and audience praise, with much of it showered on Cage's "gloriously pulpy performance" as Ben Reilly. Spider-Noir would eventually receive 11 Emmy Award nominations, winning 5, but this still wasn't enough to reverse Prime Video's decision. The streamer would later announce it was instead developing a different Spidey series based on the Spider-Man Clone Saga. As we await more details on that new series, Cage is set to make a grand return to Prime Video with another must-watch release.

Cage's new Prime Video release is just days away. The Oscar winner is set to star opposite Christian Bale and Kathryn Hahn in Madden, an upcoming biographical sports film based on the life of American football coach and commentator John Madden. Cage will play the legendary Madden, whose infectious personality saw his influence transcend the sports world. The story will chronicle the rise of his decorated career, which included a historic Super Bowl win with the Oakland Raiders. The film will also cover his friendship with Raiders owner Al Davis (played by Bale) as well as his effective partnership with his wife, Virginia (Hahn).

Madden is directed and co-written by filmmaker David O. Russell, who rose to fame for his work on the biographical sports drama The Fighter and the star-studded rom-com Silver Linings Playbook (both films earned Academy Award nominations). Madden was originally scheduled to release straight-to-Prime Video; however, the movie will now release first in theaters in a limited release starting on November 11, before releasing on Prime Video a week later on November 18. The film also stars John Mulaney (Everybody’s Live), Sienna Miller (Anatomy of a Scandal), and Shane Gillis (Tires).

What Else is New on Prime Video This Week?

The week is packed and loaded with new content for Prime Video subscribers. Fans are particularly anticipating the return of the streamer's high-fantasy franchise, The Lord of the Rings, with the premiere of Rings of Power Season 3 on Wednesday, November 11. This week also sees the return of another high-profile Prime Video show as the remarkable historical biblical series, The Chosen, returns for Season 6 on November 15. Other new arrivals on the streamer worth checking out include the biographical sports drama series, The Greatest, based on the life of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.

The series premiered on November 4 and has since been trending as one of the most-watched new titles on the streamer, a feat Madden would likely replicate when it arrives on November 18.
