In an interview with Esquire Middle East, ‘The Flash’ director Andy Muschietti revealed that a certain revered actor would be making a cameo in the film as Superman, reports Deadline.
Nicolas Cage will play Superman, marking a return to the role for Cage, who was cast in Tim Burton’s ‘Superman Lives’ 25 years ago.
“Nic was absolutely wonderful,” Muschietti said, quoted by Deadline. “Although the role was a cameo, he dove into it. I dreamt all my life to work with him. I hope I can work with him again soon.”
“He is a massive Superman fan. A comic book fanatic,” Muschetti said.
Cage isn’t the only veteran returning in a cameo. Michael Keaton will reprise his role as Batman, which he played twice in 1989 and 1992 Tim Burton films, and Ben Affleck is also on board as Batman in a DC multiverse twist.
‘The Flash’ opens in theatres on June 16.
