Nicolas Cage Wants to Play This Villain in Potential Batman Sequel

Holy Nicolas Cage, Batman!

Cage is ready to put on the batsuit, er, egg costume? On March 12, during the premiere of his new film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent the 58-year-old actor revealed that he would like to star as the villain Egghead—known as the world’s smartest criminal—in a potential sequel to The Batman, according to Variety. 

“We have this new [movie with] Robert Pattinson as the Batman, which I’m excited to see. I haven’t seen it yet but I think he would be terrific,” Cage said at SXSW. “The villain that Vincent Price played on the 1960s show, Egghead, I think I want to have a go at Egghead.

“I think I can make him absolutely terrifying,” Cage continued. “And I have a concept for Egghead. So let them know over at Warner Bros., I’m down for Egghead.”

You heard the man, Warner Bros. He’s not yolking around!
