Nicolas Cage has revealed that his cameo in The Flash was changed without his knowledge.Speaking to Yahoo! Entertainment, the Oscar-winning actor weighed in on the debate over the use of AI in movies before sharing some critical words about his cameo.“AI is a nightmare to me,” Cage said. “It’s inhumane. You can’t get more inhumane than artificial intelligence… I would be very unhappy if people were taking my art … and appropriating [it].”However, AI wasn’t responsible for his cameo in The Flash. The short scene towards the end of the film saw the actor de-aged and envisioned as a multiverse version of Superman inspired by Superman Lives – Tim Burton‘s cancelled Man Of Steel project from 1998.In the cameo, Cage’s Superman was seen fighting a giant spider while shooting lasers out of his eyes.
However, the actor said he filmed something entirely different and was unaware of the change.“When I went to the picture, it was me fighting a giant spider,” Cage said. “I did not do that. That was not what I did.
I don’t think it was [created by] AI. I know Tim [Burton] is upset about AI, as I am. It was CGI, OK, so that they could de-age me, and I’m fighting a spider.
I didn’t do any of that, so I don’t know what happened there.”Cage said that what he actually filmed was far more sombre and performance-driven.“What I was supposed to do was literally just be standing in an alternate dimension, if you will, and witnessing the destruction of the universe,” he said. “Kal-El was bearing witness [to] the end of a universe, and you can imagine with that short amount of time that I had, what that would mean in terms of what I can convey. I had no dialogue [so I had to] convey with my eyes the emotion.
