We\u2019re still a couple of weeks out from The Flash<\/a> being released but director Andy Muschietti has revealed a major cameo in the film that a certain group of fans will be absolutely thrilled by.<\/p>\n We\u2019re in for some big nostalgia kicks in the upcoming DC<\/a> film starring Ezra Miller, as it brings back both Michael Keaton<\/a> and Ben Affleck as Batman.<\/p>\n But there\u2019s plenty more in store. This is your final spoiler warning<\/strong> if you want to wait to see the film!<\/p> Muschietti has revealed that none other than Nicolas Cage appears in The Flash as Superman, telling Esquire Middle East<\/a>: \u201cNic was absolutely wonderful.<\/p>\n \u201cAlthough the role was a cameo, he dove into it\u2026 I dreamt all my life to work with him. I hope I can work with him again soon.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cHe is a massive Superman<\/a> fan. A comic book fanatic.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, it\u2019s a reference to the proposed Superman Lives film in the 1990s, which was helmed by Tim Burton and was set to star Cage in the leading role.<\/p>\n In 1998, partly due to disagreements over the script, the film was put on hold and it\u2019s never seen the light of day.<\/p>\n Cage, though, is clearly still a huge fan of the superhero, even naming one of his sons Kal-El in reference to Clark Kent\u2019s Kryptonian name.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not yet clear what exactly we should expect from Cage\u2019s cameo<\/a> \u2013 but many fans will be thrilled that he finally got to don the suit.<\/p>\n The Flash will follow Miller\u2019s Barry Allen as he attempts to change the events of the past, with some catastrophic results.<\/p>\n The Flash hits cinemas on 16th June.<\/strong><\/p>\n Join us on Thursday, 25th May for<\/strong>\u00a0Radio Times Talks \u2013 Marvel vs. DC: who\u2019s the king of superhero cinema?<\/strong><\/a>, an\u00a0epic evening of fan debate featuring a panel of exciting guest speakers \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0get your free ticket now<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0Movies<\/a>\u00a0hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2014\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>.
