'Madden' Movie Starring Nicolas Cage as Raiders HC, Christian Bale Teased in New Photo

Nicolas Cage is taking to the big screen to portray an NFL legend.

Cage will play NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden in the Amazon MGM movie Madden. The film has plenty of other stars, as Christian Bale will play former Raiders owner Al Davis, and John Mulaney will play Trip Hawkins, who founded EA Sports' Madden video game franchise, per Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr.

Fans got a first look of Cage as Madden and Bale as Davis on Tuesday.

Amazon MGM revealed last August that Cage would take on the role of Madden in a film that shows the "unlikely path" he took from coaching to broadcasting to becoming the face of the most famous football video game.

"Nicolas Cage, one of our greatest and most original actors, will portray the best of the American spirit of originality, fun, and determination in which anything is possible as beloved national legend John Madden," director David O. Russell said, per Fleming. "Together with the ferocious style, focus, and inspired individualism of Al Davis, owner of the underdog Oakland Raiders, the feature will be about the joy, humanity and genius that was John Madden in a wildly inventive, cool world of the 1970s."

Madden forged a tremendous NFL coaching career that saw him win a Super Bowl with the Raiders before stepping into the broadcast booth for nearly 30 years. Along the way, he became synonymous with an iconic brand of football video games.

There's no official release date for Madden just yet, but it's only fitting that a legendary actor such as Cage portrays a legend like Madden.
