Nicolas Cage is truly a man, a myth, and a legend. From Face/Off to Con Air, Cage has acted (and yelled) his way into our hearts. He’s stolen the Declaration of Independence, switched faces with John Travolta, and dealt with an insidious cult of bee worshippers. Now, he faces his most terrifying role yet: himself.
In one of our most anticipated films of 2022, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Cage (Cage) is having a hard time finding roles. To make ends meet, he takes on a lucrative gig playing an exaggerated version of himself for wealthy superfan Javi (Pedro Pascal). Their bond takes a dangerous turn when a CIA agent (Tiffany Haddish) tells Cage that Javi is a criminal and enlists his help to take him down. Cage will have to channel every one of his crazy past characters in order to bring Javi to justice and live to Cage another day.
Following its World Premiere at SXSW, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent hits theaters Apr. 22.
