Nicolas Cage is opening up about his cameo in The Flash where he was featured donning the costume of Superman.
As you may remember, Cage tested as the Man of Steel for what would’ve been a Tim Burton-directed feature that was ultimately scrapped. With The Flash being about the multiverse, in another timeline, Cage does sport the red cape and blue suit but he said that what he filmed was not what appeared on-screen.
“When I went to the picture, it was me fighting a giant spider. I did not do that. That was not what I did,” he told Yahoo! Entertainment in an interview. “I don’t think it was [created by] AI.

He continued, “But I don’t think it [was] AI [in The Flash]. I just think that they did something with it, and again, it’s out of my control.

That’s all I did.”
Cage said he was on the set of the Andrés Muschietti-directed film that starred Ezra Miller giving props to the director.
“They did put a lot of time into building the suit … and I think [Andy] is a terrific director, he is a great guy and a great director, and I loved his two It movies,” he said. “What I was supposed to do was

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.
Yahoo! Entertainment Wednesday that he filmed a very different cameo as the Man of Steel for DC’s “The Flash” compared to the one that made the final cut. “First and foremost, I was on set,” Cage, 59, said, dispelling rumors that the footage of the “National Treasure” star was simply a repurposed costume test from Tim Burton’s never-made film “Superman Lives.”“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.” Cage continued. “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 had to] convey with my eyes the emotion.
