In an unexpected turn of events, renowned actor Nicolas Cage expressed his enthusiasm for joining the Star Trek universe during the recent 51st Annual Saturn Awards. Cage, a self-proclaimed Trekkie, revealed his conditions for taking on a role in the beloved franchise while on the red carpet. As he accepted the Best Supporting Film Actor award for his portrayal of Dracula in 'Renfield,' Cage spoke with Screen Rant about his love for Star Trek and his desire to add his unique 'flavor' to any potential character.
Although Cage received a few phone calls regarding a possible Star Trek opportunity, he emphasized the importance of seeing a script that truly resonated with him. With his genuine affection for the franchise, he expressed a strong desire to be part of the iconic USS Enterprise. Cage playfully stated, 'I want to be on the Enterprise. Ideally, I'd have to be on the Enterprise in some capacity. I don't want to be floating in space outside! I want to be on the bridge, but they have to bring it to me.'
