Nicolas Cage to play Superman in The Flash

Superman in The Flash

It takes a super actor to play Superman. The upcoming film version of The Flash has reached back to the past in its casting for the Man of Steel. In an interview, The Flash director Andy Muschietti revealed that a certain revered actor would be making a cameo in the film as Superman.

Nicolas Cage will play Superman, marking a return to the role. Cage was cast in Tim Burton's Superman Lives 25 years ago. "Nic was absolutely wonderful. 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 and a comic book fanatic," Muschietti said.
