He stated he says this “with love,” but expressed his opinion on actors over 50 appearing in what he termed “ridiculous costumes.” Cage didn’t elaborate further on specific films or actors. His comments sparked discussion amongst fans regarding the portrayal of older performers within superhero franchises. This critique comes despite his own involvement in the Marvel property. The actor’s statements offer a unique perspective from someone who has participated in the very system he is now questioning.
