I don’t know if the world is prepared for a John Madden biopic, however it’s coming — and with Nicolas Cage.
Unique First Picture Of Nicolas Cage As Soccer Icon John Madden & Christian Bale As Raiders Proprietor Al Davis In Amazon MGM’s ‘Madden’ https://t.co/FVDPz3cnQA
— Deadline (@DEADLINE) Might 14, 2025
Deadline had unique pictures of Nic Cage taking part in the world’s most well-known soccer coach, alongside a very reworked Christian Bale who’s taking part in former Raiders proprietor Al Davis. Truthfully, I’d at all times assumed Davis can be portrayed by a spiral minimize ham left in a California desert and picked over by vultures, however this speaks to Bale’s vary relating to reworking himself.
What we all know of the manufacturing of Madden is that it’ll comply with John’s legendary years with the Raiders, by the creation of the online game bearing his title. John Mulaney is connected to play former Digital Arts head Journey Hawkins, with Kathryn Hahn will play Virginia Madden.
There are such a lot of causes this needs to be a complete prepare wreck, however David O. Russell is directing Madden, and has a fully stellar resume together with Silver Linings Playbook, Pleasure, The Fighter, and Three Kings.
It’s simply unimaginable to think about Nicolas Cage being something however extraordinarily Nicolas Cage. Can that translate to taking part in John Madden? I assume we’ll discover out when the film is scheduled to be launched in 2026.
