"Nic was absolutely wonderful," Muschietti said, quoted by Deadline. "Although the role was a cameo, he dove into it. I dreamt all my life to work with him. I hope I can work with him again soon. He is a massive Superman fan. A comic book fanatic," Muschetti said. Nicolas Cage Narrates Early Memories of Being Inside His Mother’s Womb Possibly Triggered by ‘Vocal Vibrations’ (Watch Video).
