A digital artist re-imagines the Man of Steel as a young Nicolas Cage, a role he almost played in the infamous would-be film Superman Lives.
DC fan art imagines what young Nicolas Cage would look like as Superman. With The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent -- a celebration of all that is Nicolas Cage -- soon to be released, fans look back to what might have been. A starring role as the Man of Steel may be the only thing missing in the venerable actor's long resume of acting roles.
After Superman's cinematic appeal dropped off in the late 80s with the poorly received Superman IV: The Quest for Peace following the equally derided Supergirl , a chance for another Superman film looked dire. Due to a resurgence in popularity thanks to the Death of Superman comic series, producers were clambering for another shot at the big screen. Many iterations of a new Superman story bounced around Warner Bros.
— K I B A R 🇫🇷 May 1, 2020 Ultimately, Nicolas Cage would get his chance to play Superman in the animated Teen Titans GO! to the Movies. Although the role is in voice only, fans were delighted by the actor finally playing the role he wished to play decades before.
Although the actor may be considered too old for a Superman reboot, there is still room to fit the actor into the DCEU canon. With the current popularity of the multiverse plot device, such as Marvel introducing two previous iterations of Peter Parker into the MCU in No Way Home, there can be a real possibility of Cage's Superman Lives' version of the hero to enter the DCEU.
