Would Nicolas Cage Do Another Comic Book Movie?: “Oh absolutely. I think the comic book movie is a wonderful way to entertain a lot of people. People love comic books on film. I knew it was going to happen. I knew because I was an enthusiast at a young age. I knew with modern technology, when they started taking Batman to the screen and Spider-Man that they were going to be enormous.

But getting back to your question, the thing about comic book films is it’s a fantasy world. It’s thoroughly entertaining and it doesn’t rely on gratuitous violence, and you can charm children and adults alike. I’m very happy for it. It’s almost a perfect medium for film – the comic book-based story structures - and I would be happy to do more. I think I would like to try to even generate my own. Why just the other day, yesterday in fact, my son Weston and I had a meeting with Virgin Comics and I said I wouldn’t announce it, but I am going to announce it, Weston has developed a character and they agreed to five issues of it. So we’ll see how that works out.”

Cage wouldn’t disclose any details on the character but did say it’ll be 'Cage and Cage Comic Books' out of Virgin Comics.
