This isn\u2019t a flea flicker\u2014it\u2019s really\u00a0Nicolas Cage<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Christian Bale<\/a>\u00a0in the\u00a0Madden\u00a0trailer.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the new trailer for the Prime Video series released Sept. 24, which will star Cage as legendary NFL coach\u00a0John Madden\u00a0and Bale as\u00a0Oakland Raiders owner\u00a0Al Davis, the duo are completely transformed into the Hall of Famers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cage, for his part, traded his signature dark slicked-back hairstyle for Madden\u2019s impressive blond flow. The 62-year-old also bulked up to match the football lineman physique, completely transformed from his typically lankier frame.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bale, 52, was arguably even\u00a0 harder\u00a0to identify as Davis, trading his\u00a0brunette\u00a0hair for the Raiders\u00a0exec\u2019s\u00a0slicked back pompadour and topped off his look with Davis\u2019 signature frames, seen sporting both oversized sunglasses and reading glasses of the era throughout the trailer.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Bale\u2019s role as Davis is a stark departure from his broodier roles like\u00a0Batman, Cage has earned a reputation for being a chameleon in roles like\u00a0Adaptation,\u00a0Dream Scenario\u00a0and\u00a0Long Legs.\u00a0<\/p>\n And the\u00a0National Treasure\u00a0star has emphasized the importance of variety in his roles to keep him growing as an actor.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale Look Unrecognizable in First Look at \u2018Madden\u2019 Transformations This isn\u2019t a flea flicker\u2014it\u2019s really\u00a0Nicolas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-610641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
