Will Nicolas Cage Appear In Star Trek 4

Cage reveals there have been conversations, but nothing more

Abrams ' Bad Robot production troupe ) after news show broke that he was aStar Trekfan , but he has n’t seen a handwriting for aStar Trekmovie . Star Trek 4has been mired in development hell at Paramount for yr , although recent news show that aStar Trekorigin film is being prepare by director Toby Haynes also noted thatStar Trek 4is still in the works as"the final chapter"of theUSS Enterprise crew conduct by Chris Pine .

Nicolas Cage by all odds seems uncoerced to consider taking a role inStar Trek 4if it was a part that excited him , and if he could be on the Starship Enterprise . Cage as the nextStar Trekmovie baddie is an enticing candidate , as is the musical theme of Nic teaming up with Captain Kirk ( Chris Pine ) , Mr. Spock ( Zachary Quinto ) , and the go-ahead crew . Many acclaimed actors have conduct on part inStar Trek , but as an Academy Award winner and the star of such film asLeaving Las Vegas , Face / Off , Con Air , andThe Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent , Nicolas Cage would be a trueStar Trekcasting coup .
