Nicolas Cage’s filmography includes over 100 movie credits and he’s ready to take his career in a different direction. The Oscar-winning actor said he has “maybe three or four more” films left in him, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s thinking about retirement.
National Treasure star discussed his plans for the future in a recent interview with Uproxx and said he’s ready to explore other arenas after starring in movies for 45 years.
“I feel I’ve pretty much said what I’ve had to say with cinema. And I’d like to leave on a high note and say, “Adios.” I think I have to do maybe three or four more movies before I can get there, and then hopefully switch formats and go into some other way of expressing my acting,” said Cage.
Cage may be done with movies, but he’s not considering retirement just yet. He fell in love with television after his son introduced him to Breaking Bad last year, and he’s now thinking about branching out to television after seeing “what can be done now with characters and the time they’re given to express themselves.”
It will take some time for Cage to leave movies behind because he already has several new projects lined up, including Andrew Niccol’s crime thriller Lords of War and Oz Perkins’ horror Longlegs.
