Nicolas Cage is back on the big screen with The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, but where can audiences see him next? While 2018 and 2019 saw Nicolas Cage in many movies, including voice roles in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Teen Titans Go!

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, a film that could be considered a celebration of Cage’s career, sees the actor play a fictionalized version of himself.

That’s how he crosses paths with Pedro Pascal’s character, a billionaire super-fan of Cage.

Renfield will see Nicolas Cage as Dracula, a part he seems like he was born to play. Directed by Chris McKay and with Robert Kirkman as one of the screenwriters, Renfield will have Dracula’s faithful minion as the protagonist, except he no longer wants to work with the vampire. Nicholas Hoult will play Renfield in a film that also features Ben Schwartz (Sonic The Hedgehog) and Awkwafina (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).
