Nicolas Cage’s John Madden voice sounds like a karaoke machine that forgot the lyrics. The clip is so off that fans are questioning whether Cage even tried to sound like the man, not just play him.
The movie’s marketing team might have assumed that if Cage is in it, the performance will be fine, but they didn’t account for the fact that even a committed actor can’t just will a voice into being someone else.
It’s not just about the voice—it’s about the legacy. And if Cage’s Madden sounds like a man who once played a bank robber, then the movie is already in trouble.
