Nicolas Cage, who had a major Superman cameo in The Flash movie, is chiming in on Tim Burton’s criticism about the DCEU movie.
It has been several months since The Flash‘s release, and while he was initially positive about his cameo, Cage is opening up about Burton’s critical comments regarding his Superman Lives cameo in an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment. He says:
When I went to the picture, it was me fighting a giant spider. I did not do that. That was not what I did. I don’t think it was [created by] AI. I know Tim is upset about AI, as I am. It was CGI, OK, so that they could de-age me, and I’m fighting a spider. I didn’t do any of that, so I don’t know what happened there. … But I get where Tim’s coming from. I know what he means. I would be very unhappy if people were taking my art … and appropriating them. I get it. I mean, I’m with him in that regard. AI is a nightmare to me. It’s inhumane. You can’t get more inhumane than artificial intelligence.
