Nicolas Cage Reveals He’s Starring in ‘True Detective’ Season 5
"I think I might do a season of True Detective ," elusive actor says at New York Comic-Con, all but confirming year-old rumors
Nicolas Cage seemingly revealed at New York Comic Con that he will star in Season 5 of HBO's hit anthology crime drama "True Detective." During a "Spotlight" panel on Saturday morning, the actor announced to the audience that he is planning to do "another season of television" before naming the show. Cage, who previously starred in the canceled Prime Video series "Spider-Noir," explained that "you can only do so many movies back to back to back."
The actor added that "necessity is the mother of invention," stating that he needs to feed his family and not overwhelm himself with back-to-back movie roles. As the crowd cheered, Cage asked if it was okay for him to be the first to announce the news. Cage was rumored to be in the running for the lead role of New York detective Henry Logan in Season 5, which will focus on a new mystery in Jamaica Bay, New York.
The showrunner for Season 4, Issa López, confirmed that supernatural elements will still be present, as the two seasons take place in the same universe. Cage joins a long list of high-profile actors who have starred in the critically-acclaimed series, including Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Mahershala Ali, and Jodie Foster.
