That said, it’s unclear whether the movie Cage has been approached for is the same biopic or something completely different.
Nicolas Cage has taken a variety of roles over his more than three-decade-long acting career, from treasure hunter to superhero whose skull is on fire, but playing a U.S. president would be a first.
It is worth noting that in January 2015, it was reported that Wizards of Waverly Place star David Henrie was cast to play a younger Reagan in an indie biopic about the former president.
Since no plot details were revealed about this Ronald Reagan movie, it’s hard to tell whether the story would cover all of the man’s life, from his acting career to his time as California governor to his service in the White House, or if Cage would only be playing him during a specific period of time.
