The Oscar winner Cage, who also serves as a producer, has taken on several thriller and horror roles in recent years, including Renfield (2023) and Longlegs (2024).

At the Toronto International Film Festival, his Longlegs co-star Kiernan Shipka, while praising Cage's transformation, told People that she was "in awe" of Cage's transformation into its titular character.

"I love Longlegs -- I mean, not really," added the actress.
