Nicholas Cage to Play Superman [in "Teen Titans Go! To the Movies"]

[Penguin]

Move over Henry Cavill, there's a new Man of Steel in town.

Breaking from SXSW panel, Nic Cage will play Superman in the Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life...achty-green-lantern-teen-titans-go/415282002/

It's an intriguing role for Cage, arguably the most famous Superman fan in Hollywood: He named his son Kal-El (aka the hero's Kryptonian birthname), once owned a rare issue of Superman's 1938 comic debut (and sold it for $2.1 million), and was supposed to play the character in Tim Burton's scrapped 1998 Superman Lives movie.

Don't hate on my girl Halsey.

Current Cage would probably do a better Sup than Cavill.

Daaaaaaaaaamn I missed that thread.. let me go search for it.

They know EXACTLY what they're doing. Looking forward to seeing the gags.

In honor of this tremendous news, my favorite Cage scene of all time. Leave it to Herzog to find a truly artistic outlet for...whatever it is that Cage does.

Spoiler

Also, I think Cage is actually legitimately a fantastic actor. Don't @ me.

The TTG crew are true fans, plus they love to troll. Damn straight, he's fighting a giant mechanical spider. Lex Luthor may even be Kryptonian.

 

[spookyduzt]

FINALLY

 

[Platy]

Teen Titans Go showing that they still got it for finding perfect actors to do the dub.

(but they can't beat Weird Al as Darkseid =P)

 

[chrisPjelly]

They know what they're doing

 

[AgentOtaku]

FUCKING AWESOME :D

Nah. Justice League Cavill was solid. MoS and BvS were shit material for him being Supes.

 

[Turbowaffles]

Sounds good. TTG is highly underrated. Old TT fans just hate it because it's not the OG, lol.

I can throw on an episode and laugh and have a good time.

My beautiful, beautiful thread title!

Cage has always been perfect as Superman, not surprised he finally got the role.

What was the original, "Nicholas Cage to Play Superman in Upcoming DC Movie"?

 

[ASleepingMonkey]

I saw this story and almost posted it on here with the title "Nic Cage will finally get to play Superman on screen" but didn't want to get a stern finger wagging from the mods.

I'm glad someone did it, though. Absolute gold.

Henry Cavill names his dog that as well.

Superman problems in the DCEU have NOTHING to do with Cavill

Not surprised, he named himself after Luke Cage.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Awwww, I wanted a live action Nic Cage Superman.

 

[Vadara]

Kevin Smith and Nic Cage finally getting vindication after all these decades
