Kevin Smith revealed Warner Bros. was looking to cast Nicolas Cage as Bizarro in his Strange Adventures episode.
Strange Adventures was a project that was announced all the way back in 2019 ahead of the launch of HBO Max. There hasn’t been any news reported about the anthology series in years, but Kevin Smith revealed on his Hollywood Babble-On podcast that he was involved with one episode that he co-wrote with Eric Carrasco.
Nicolas Cage as Bizarro?
Kevin Smith went on to detail his Strange Adventures episode, which would’ve included Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, and Bizarro. Smith also revealed the DC series was going to have a significant budget and that Warner Bros. was considering Nicolas Cage to play Bizarro.
In the ’90s, Kevin Smith notably took a pass at Tim Burton’s Superman Lives, which would’ve starred Cage as the Man of Steel. Unfortuntaely, like Superman Lives, Strange Adventures won’t see the light of day, according to Smith. On that day in 2019, HBO Max also announced a Green Lantern series, but Smith shared that things aren’t looking good for that project either.
