How in the world did they pull it off? After traveling through time to bring back Michael Keaton’s Batman, the team behind the live-action ‘The Flash’ has delivered another surprise cameo. Director Andy Muschietti has surprised fans worldwide by announcing a Superman cameo, played by none other than Nicolas Cage.
‘The Flash’ has multiple versions of Ezra Miller’s Scarlet Speedster. Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton play the caped crusader in different timelines, but this is the first time we have heard of Nicolas Cage’s association with the role. The ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ actor has an irreverent love for comic books. Many remember how he came close to playing Superman in Tim Burton’s telling of the story.
