Nicolas Cage plays Madden himself, with Christian Bale in the role of Al Davis.
A movie about the late football legend John Madden, who is also the namesake of EA's popular video game franchise, is now in the works with Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage playing the title role. The movie may be adding to its cast, with John Mulaney, Kathryn Hahn, and Sienna Miller in talks for roles, according to Deadline.
According to the report, Mulaney will play EA founder Trip Hawkins, who was instrumental in helping launch the now-juggernaut Madden series. Hahn will reportedly portray Madden's wife, Virginia. Miller is tipped for the role of the late Raiders owner Al Davis' wife, Carol. As reported previously, Oscar-winner Christian Bale will play Davis.
Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell is signed on to direct the movie, which is in the works for Amazon MGM Studios and will presumably come to Prime Video. Russell also wrote the script.
