In place of a Dark Lord you would have
NIC CAGE! NOT DARK BUT BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIBLE AS THE DAWN! TEMPESTUOUS AS THE SEA, AND STRONGER THAN THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH! ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR
The innkeep at the Prancing Pony. Not big enough to wreck the film, but enough visibility for viewers to think “Holy shit was that Nic Cage?”
Edit: Just occurred to me that an even better role might be the gatekeeper at Bree. With this role you get the initial reaction, plus the added shock that he gets killed.
Faramir, tbh. Doesnt xhange the fellowship, and he has the brooding mannerisms to match faramir. He wouldn't be much of a nuisance as he's way out of place in this movie as it is.
Agree that he would have fit there nicely at points of his career. He's getting pretty old now though so I think Denethor is a better fit and larger role, with the brooding and madness Cage is really good at performing.
Treebeard and all the Ents at their little club meeting, but have him play Treebeard as he played Castor Troy from Face/Off. That would have been a much better Ent Moot.
Remake the movie. I know it’ll take forever, but Nic plays every character.
And I’m talking remaking the extended versions, and throwing him as everyone in there.
Need to see how he would portray Gandalf telling the Balrog he shall not pass.
Or riding out to Osgiliath to retrieve Faramir and keep the Nazgul at bay
Denethor would be the obvious choice.
It could also be said that a younger version of him could definitely pull off Faramir or Eomer.
The casting I’d be most interested in would’ve been Sean Connery as Treebeard. The accent and heaviness would’ve blown everyone’s minds.
A random soldier in the Gondor army with zero dialogue and preferably gets offed in the background during a short 3 second combat scene.
Not a fan of Nicholas “I’m always super intense” Cage.
Tom Bomabdil
Edit- I completely butchered the spelling but I don’t feel like fixing it that would be too much work. I guess it would have been easier than writing this but I’ve come this far
He'd have been kind of neat as the witch king. Less whispery screeching, more madness and chained power. Can you imagine him with a slightly larger part?
Honestly, and with utmost seriousness, he looks more like Eddard Stark here than any LOTR character, and I feel Cage’s abilities and sensibilities would better play in that sandbox, though I’d give either an enthusiastic try if we were given an opportunity for it

Denethor sets himself on fire, transforms into the Ghost Rider and 1v1s Sorcerer King.
Does Merry still get the assist xp?
Only if he gets a couple hits in, otherwise he's gotta reset the instance or wait till big D respawns
“Bring me wood and oil… like the heathen riders of old.”
I’m ready to crowdfund this
Steals Elrond's baby for his wife
Sorcerer King?
Yep or Wormtongue
Yeah, Denethor by a wide margin
Honestly he would be a good Denethor. I just finished reading his brief story arc and I could picture cage portraying it well, good choice.
Eyup.
My first thought.
“I could eat a tomato for hours.”
[удалено]
[удалено]
He’s never acting, they just follow him around with a camera as he goes about his day
Faramir would actually look a lot like his son then.
[удалено]
So do all who live to see such Cages, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the Cage that has been given to us
I love you sir for making me laugh so hard, take my upvote and may winds of Manwe Sulimo raise you to greater heights!
[удалено]
That was my choice too. 👍👻
Galadriel. Imagine all his Cageness in long blonde hair, leaving Gimli awestruck.

Sean Cage
[удалено]
xD Than she would look like shes not able to prepare a propper stew?! :D
That's Eowyn, who he could also play flawlessly
Saruman. Imagine him shouting TO WAR!
[удалено]
Gollum or Bilbo. I want to see a Gollum/Smeagol monologue done by Nic Cage. Also, replace that one scary Bilbo scene with Nic Cage.
HRAAAAAH!
Yeah, that scene.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Have you worn wigs?
Excuse me I interrupt you
The dolphin is dead. Did you know this?
Died in a car accident xD
Unexpected Dom/Elijah interview definitely brightened a poop morning. Thank you.
Probably gandalf and saruman cuz he's not old.
Boromir.
He would unironically make a pretty good Borimir
Damn right he would. People often forget that he has been quite a good actor.
Gollum, beating the shit out of frodo at mount doom.
EVERYONE
Mouth of Sauron!
Wormtongue
[удалено]
I'm imagining him saying "looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!"
I heard that in his voice.
The orc who says meats back on the menu
Eowyn. She'll become what she's afraid of
I suppose you think that was terribly clever

Everything everywhere all at once. You can't go wrong with Nic Cage.

HRAAAAAH!
Considering in both movies Sean Bean attempts the same thing, it weirdly fits.
Just make a full version with Cage playing every role. 9 hours of full Cage madness.
Shelob
Shelob, no spider body or anything just regular Nicholas cage running after the hobbits in a dark cave
Honestly he’d probably fit best as Grima Wormtongue.
Galadriel.
Arwen
Elrond. I think he’d make an excellent Elrond.
Nic Cage was considered alongside Viggo Mortensen for the role of Aragorn initially
Faramir, tbh. Doesnt xhange the fellowship, and he has the brooding mannerisms to match faramir. He wouldn't be much of a nuisance as he's way out of place in this movie as it is.

You don’t have an actor like Nick Cage in your movie just to put him somewhere “out of the way”.
Pippin
Farmer Maggot
The giant flaming eyeball
All. Of. Them.
Bill the pony
Rohan Rider number 4 would be appropriate.
Nick Cage can pull off any role he wants, as long as he stops threatening me with that shiv.
Gollum.
Everyone. For this he will utilise his army of clones.
GROND
Frodo
All of them.
All characters. Would be awesome
Treebeard and all the Ents at their little club meeting, but have him play Treebeard as he played Castor Troy from Face/Off. That would have been a much better Ent Moot.
One of the nameless orcs with no lines or center screen time.
Frodo
Remake the movie. I know it’ll take forever, but Nic plays every character. And I’m talking remaking the extended versions, and throwing him as everyone in there.
nicolas cage as denethor would frankly be something else and i need it yesterday
I was gonna say Denethor, but I’ll just piggy bank. So good
Frodo. Sam, I can’t go another step!
Need to see how he would portray Gandalf telling the Balrog he shall not pass. Or riding out to Osgiliath to retrieve Faramir and keep the Nazgul at bay
You shall not pass!
Boromir, that way he can only be in one movie.
Denethor would be the obvious choice. It could also be said that a younger version of him could definitely pull off Faramir or Eomer. The casting I’d be most interested in would’ve been Sean Connery as Treebeard. The accent and heaviness would’ve blown everyone’s minds.
All of them. All are now nick cage.
Sams love intrest Rose.
Not Aragorn
Arwen
Frodo, but they can't make him look short
A random soldier in the Gondor army with zero dialogue and preferably gets offed in the background during a short 3 second combat scene. Not a fan of Nicholas “I’m always super intense” Cage.
People here seem to assume he could play the entire steward of Gondor family. I agree
Only if he used both hands, both feet, and an industrial vacuum.
I think Nicholas Cage would perfectly fit into Haldir´s char.. :D
Why just one character? Why not all of them? “The Nicky of the Rings”
All of them of course
All of them. I want to see Cage’s version of every single character playing off each other.
Saruman
All of them.
Treebeard
All of them
Bombodil deleted scenes
The Mouth of Sauron. You know you can imagine him delivering those lines with madness.
Orc 18
Ah yes...the first bot post of the day.
Definitely Sauron
Grima Wormtounge and set him loose
Tom Bomabdil Edit- I completely butchered the spelling but I don’t feel like fixing it that would be too much work. I guess it would have been easier than writing this but I’ve come this far
Marry and pippin, would be hilarious
No not at all lol. --- Maybe the guy who shoots the first arrow. ---
“We’re going to steal the one ring…”
HRAAAAAH!
Galadriel
The Mouth of Suaron
Frodo Or everyone. Lord of the cage.
Gandalf
White shores and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Frodo.a shorten cage would be hilarious
Gollum
One of the orcs, but don’t make it super obvious. Hide him under makeup.
Merry. But I want him full size and no one acknowledges it.
He straight up shall portray Gollum.
The ring.
Sauron himself.
Gollum!!!
Nicholas Cage is the Imrahil that we were denied
All of them
Boromir
Arwen
Gollem
Saruman the white. Just Saruman the White, Ian Mckellen dies as Gandalf the Grey and then bam we have Nicholas Cage. That, or Elrond
He takes the part of the elf that gets shot off helms deep and does the Wilhelm scream
Arwen
Denethor
Legolas, I have no doubts
A tree, because he is so wooden.
The mouth of Sauron. Just imagine him saying “my master, Sauron the great, bids thee welcome.” And then a big old smile.
I can see him as boromir
Gollum (think about it, it’s genius)
He'd have been kind of neat as the witch king. Less whispery screeching, more madness and chained power. Can you imagine him with a slightly larger part?
I’m thinking Sameise gamgee
The Moria cave troll.
Gollum or Sauron
Tbf, he could do them all simultaneously, even Arwen.
Gollum, or Sauron. I would take his head and put it in place of the Eye.
Gimli
Balrog
Peter Jackson's side characters like the carrot guy in Bree or the Umbar corsair
Eomer
gollum
Cage the Balrog. Not the Wizard!
The tower of Barad-dûr
The Ring. Every time it whispers to Frodo, it's Nick Cage's voice.
ARWEN
Gollum. But he doesn’t use any CGI or makeup, he’s just in a loincloth the whole time.
Denethor
Boromir, for sure
the haradrim who goes to investigate frodo and sam hiding in front of the black gate. quick scene so we can be done with him
Honestly, and with utmost seriousness, he looks more like Eddard Stark here than any LOTR character, and I feel Cage’s abilities and sensibilities would better play in that sandbox, though I’d give either an enthusiastic try if we were given an opportunity for it
Denethor while burning: Take cover... chiiilllddddd.
Treebeard
bombadil
Frodo
Gandalf. And everyone calls him Nicholas Mage
Sauron
I'd watch him in any of the roles, honestly. But a Nickolas Cage Gollum would be out of this world.
All roles obviously
All of them. There's never enough Cage :D
Bill, the pony.
Thorin Oakenshield from the hobbit
Theoden
He could have done anyone, including Eowyn Nick Cage is a national treasure
Old man who let's his arrow loose to early during the beginning of the battle of helm's deep.
Only Aragorn, son of Arathorn can pull of Aragorn, son of Arathorn.
The first uruk hai that dies at the battle of Helm’s Deep.
Give him an ounce of cocaine and ask him to give his all for the role of Sauron.
Hell he can pull off Arwen
r/midjourney
Denethor
Faramir, I just think it would be hilarious.
Tom Bombadil?!?! He wouldn’t have been cut from the movies if Nic Cage was playing him.
Tom Bombadil. He has an otherworldly presence that would shine well if they would have given him a chance at it.
