A Superman Lives animated trailer imagines what Nicolas Cage's DC movie could've looked like.
With Superman’s big screen future currently at the forefront of most DC fans’ minds, one animation studio has brought Nicolas Cage’s canceled Superman Lives film back to life in a new fan trailer. Originally based on a story pitched by Clerks III director Kevin Smith, Superman Lives was intended to begin filming in 1998 with Batman’s Tim Burton sitting in the director’s chair and Cage playing the Man of Steel himself.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While the story of Cage almost getting his own Superman film has since become a thing of pop-culture legend, sadly only a few pre-production photos of the actor in costume have hinted at what might have been. Now, however, the animation house Lazy Droid Studio has given fans a glimpse into a world in which Cage’s canceled DC film was never abandoned.
While the project would ultimately stumble and fall before principal photography could commence, Cage’s apparent love for the character would continue. In 2005, he would even name his second child Kal-El, after Superman’s original Kryptonian name. Then, in 2018, Cage would finally get his chance to play DC’s greatest superhero by providing the voice of Superman in Teen Titans Go! To The Movies, some 20 years after he was first attached to the role.
More recently Cage was also being eyed by Smith to potentially play the Superman villain Bizarro in the now-canceled anthology show DC's Strange Adventures, which would have focused on some of the lesser-known characters in the DC universe. Sadly, that opportunity also seems to have slipped through Cage’s fingers. Nonetheless, with this new fan trailer fans can finally imagine what might have been with Cage front-and-center as DC’s Man of Steel in Superman Lives.
