'Glad I Didn't Blink' Nicolas Cage on His High-profile Cameo in The Flash
Nicolas Cage has commented on his brief yet surprising appearance in The Flash. What does the popular actor think about the cameo? Spoiler alert!
Please note, the following text contains spoilers from The Flash.
You don't have to be a big fan of Nicolas Cage to know that in 1998 the actor was the man to play the title role in Tim Burton's Superman Lives. Unfortunately, the project - to the disappointment of many - did not come to fruition, and all that remains of it is a video showing the long-haired actor in Man of Steel's costume.
Although the show failed to materialize at the time, fans' dream of Cage's Superman was fulfilled more than two decades later in The Flash. The word "fulfilled", however, is a strong misuse, as the actor's performance was not long, and the CGI used to portray the star was - to put it mildly - far from perfect.
In an interview with USA Today Cage talked about his impressions of donning the red cape 25 years after Burton's failed project. The actor said the final result was "satisfying." The only thing he didn't like was the screen time he was allotted.
"Well, I was glad I didn't blink. For me, it was the feeling that I had finally realized it. Even one look at this particular character, seeing him finally on screen, was satisfying. But as I said, it was a short performance," confessed the Oscar winner.
Cage also shared his thoughts on his interpretation of Superman in the would-be project. According to the actor, his performance would be similar to that from City of Angels, in which he played the role of a messenger of heaven.
"If you really want to know what I was going to do with Superman, take a look at my performance in City of Angels. [...] It's a perfect example of the tonality you could get for Kal-El and for Clark Kent - Clark would have been a little more fun, but Kal-El had sensitivity, kindness and all those feelings that were kind of angelic and scary at the same time," he added.
As a final reminder, The Flash, as well as City of Angels, can be rented on Prime Video.
