Nicolas Cage wants to participate in Star Trek franchise and hopes to one day find himself as a member of the bridge crew of the USS Enterprise. The actor previously said in an interview: “I’m a Trekkie, man, I’m on the Enterprise. That’s where I roll.” Now, Cage is saying he’s heard about membership Star TrekHe explained to TrekMovie:
“Well, my thing is more Trekkie. I grew up watching Shatner and Nimoy and Bones and those stories on television had a lot of wisdom and socially relevant commentary. So I’ve always had a soft spot for Star Trek. Well, I’ve heard someone talk about it, but nothing real… Since then [the 2023 interview] There have been some comments from Paramount, but who knows? I wish I were on the bridge. I want to be on the Enterprise. Yes… who knows?”
In a separate interview with ScreenRant, Cage says there have actually been discussions and shares what the film would entail for him if he joined:
“There have been a couple of phone calls. I don’t know, I should see a script. It would have to be something I could really add my own flavor to; have a little bit of pop and a little bit of sparkle. I wouldn’t do it. “I want to do any thing, because I love the franchise so much. I want to be on the Enterprise. Ideally, I should be on the Enterprise in some capacity. I don’t want to be floating in space on a satellite! I want to be on the bridge, but they have to bring it to me.”
When talking about why he’s a fan of Star TrekCage previously said:
“I like the political, the sociological – for me, what science fiction is really about and why it’s such an important genre is that it’s really where you can really say what you want, how you feel, you put it in a different way . planet, you put it in a different time or the future and you can, without people jumping all over you. You can really express your thoughts like Orwell in the sci-fi format and Star Trek has really embraced that. serious stuff.”
It would be fun and interesting to see Cage star in a Star Trek movie. It’s something I could definitely see happening one day if the producers of the franchise could actually figure out what they want to do with it and get another movie off the ground!
