Nicholas Cage offered some thoughts on his Superman cameo in The Flash.
Intended for production during the 1990sSuperman Liveswould have starred Cage and been directed by Tim Burton.
For me, it was the feeling of being actualized.
Even that look for that particular character, finally seeing it on screen, was satisfying.
But as I said, its quick."
I had no dialogue [so had to] convey with my eyes the emotion.
So thats what I did.
I was on set for maybe three hours.
I did not do that.
That was not what I did.
I dont think it was [created by] AI.
I know Tim is upset about AI, as I am.
It was CGI, OK, so that they could de-age me, and Im fighting a spider."
But I get where Tim’s coming from.
I know what he means.
I would be very unhappy if people were taking my art … and appropriating them.
I mean, Im with him in that regard.
AI is a nightmare to me.

You cant get more inhumane than artificial intelligence."
I just think that they did something with it, and again, its out of my control.
Thats all I did.

As for why the creative teamchose to stylize him like an outdated VFX model, fans may never know.
Maybe Cage could get another shot as the Man of Steel wheneverJames Gunn’sbigDCU rebootstarts touching upon the Multiverse.
Until then, however, perhaps the actor could get a different notable role.

The Flashis now available to purchase digitally.
