Nicolas Cage Keen To Play Egghead Villain In 'The Batman' Sequel

Nicolas Cage has said that he would love to play the Egghead villain in 'The Batman' sequel.

The actor made these comments during an interview with Fox 7 Austin,  after he was asked if there were any roles that he would like to play at SXSW, when he mentioned a deep-cut Batman villain from the 1960s TV series starring Adam West.

“We have this new [movie with] Robert Pattinson as The Batman, which I’m excited to see. I haven’t seen it yet but I think he would be terrific", Cage said. 

“The villain that Vincent Price played on the 60s show, Egghead, I think I want to have a go at Egghead", added the Gone In 60 Seconds star. "I think I can make him absolutely terrifying. And I have a concept for Egghead. So let them know over at Warner Bros., I’m down for Egghead". 

Calling himself “the world’s smartest criminal”, Egghead uses a myriad of egg-themed weapons in the TV series. These powers include tear gas egga and laughing gas eggs. 

He also appeared in the series The Lego Batman Movie and, Batman: The Brave And The Bold.  

Cage is already preparing to star in his upcoming film Renfield. The film will hit the cinemas in April 2023.
