Nicolas Cage’s stunning transformation into NFL legend John Madden is a shock for fans of the usually svelte actor.
Prime Video finally dropped the first full look at the biopic on September 24, and the teaser is a must-see for any football fan. Directed by David O. Russell, Madden follows the legendary coach, commentator, and video game pioneer as he leads the Oakland Raiders to the 1977 Super Bowl title.
According to Amazon MGM Studios’ initial press release about the upcoming film, “Madden is the celebration of a brilliant mind whose once in a century spirit and personality, partnership with his daring wife Virginia, lifelong friendships, and infectious love of people and football transcended the world of sports.”
The almost two-hour movie also stars Christian Bale, Kathryn Hahn, Sienna Miller, John Mulaney, and Shane Gillis. Not only is Cage almost unrecognizable, but fellow actor Christian Bale (who plays Raiders owner Al Davis) also goes deep into character.
What do fans think of Nicolas Cage as John Madden?
Not only did Amazon Prime Video premiere the full trailer, but it also posted an Instagram clip on Thursday. So what do fans think of the upcoming Madden movie, Cage’s transformation, and his castmates?
View this post on Instagram“Stoked! Madden was the Chiefs’ nemesis. Raiders were insane,” wrote one commenter, as others praised the biopic, responding, “Looks so good,” “The energy, the 1970s aesthetic, the soundtrack…David O. Russell nailed the vibe,” and “This looks insane.”
Fans also shared their takes on the casting. “Cage should have played Al Davis, and Bale should have played Madden,” mused one commenter. While Cage’s physical change is an eye-opener, fans can’t stop talking about his almost unrecognizable costar.
“Christian Bale disappearing into another role again, of course,” wrote one commenter. Another gushed, “Christian Bale better win an Academy Award because he’s Al Davis reincarnated.”
But the comments weren’t all positive. Critics chimed in with, “My biggest main problem with Cage doing this role is the voice! If you’re going to have someone imitate him…Cage never changes his voice for the character,” and “I’m watching but that voice will never not be Nic Cage.”
Catch Cage, Bale, and the rest of the all-star cast in Madden on November 18 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
