What role and/or movie would be greatly improved by replacing Nic Cage as the actor?
I’ll go first - imagine the role played by George Clooney in O’Brother Where Art Thou played by Nicolas Cage
George was good - even really good - but I think Nic in that role would be unforgettable.
Now imagine the role played by Sam Neill in Jurassic Park played by Nicolas Cage. Even better. And he’s reunited with Laura Dern.

What makes you think that Nick Cage would have played it better he's already over animated as it is
and that character I think it would have been too much part of what made Clooney's performance it seemed like the character was shocked at what he was getting away with
Weird take

At that point in their careers, he may not have greatly improved the character, but he would have been as good as, if not slightly better than, Brad Pitt playing Det. Mills in Se7en.

Nic Cage as Walter White in Breaking Bad.
Was the first thing that popped into my mind and now I kind of want to see it.
"I am the one who knocks!"

Was thinking he’d be a better Gus Fring. Will Ferrell as Ted Beneke.

Any role played by John Travolta

Would have liked to see Nic Cage in one of the Saw traps

Runaway Jury. Replace John Cusack

I thought we were about to play Global Thermonuclear War.

Willy Wonka would have been a good role for him IMO.
Interesting though some of the roles he passed on that he was offered.
Aragorn — The Lord of the Rings
Shrek — Shrek
Harry Dunne — Dumb and Dumber
Neo — The Matrix

Maybe not the entire Ben Stiller role in Tropic Thunder, but could you imagine Nicolas Cage as Simple Jack? 
Posted on 7/1/26 at 11:17 am to Nevada_Tiger
I could definitely see him as Clifford instead of Martin Short
