Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage is enjoying a major run of success in recent years, remaining in the spotlight through a number of memorable roles on screen. This includes roles in spooky stories like Renfield (2023) and Longlegs (2025) and his growing cache of superhero projects, including multiple versions of Marvel’s Spider-Noir; he even played a fictionalized version of himself, to great success, in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent in 2022. Looking ahead, he is now set to take on a more classic biopic as one of the most iconic sports figures in history.
