During the red carpet at the Golden Globes, Cage was asked by Variety‘s Marc Malkin about a genre that he wants to work in. He replied, “Musical. I have not done a musical. I do think I could make a good Pontius Pilate in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar.'”

However, he was reluctant to provide audiences with a glimpse of what they might see of him in the role, declining to sing.

BroadwayWorld points out that this is not the first time the actor mentioned wanting to play this specific role. In an April 2023 interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Cage said that his voice would lend itself to Pontius Pilate.

"I think if I was ever going to go on Broadway, the only part that would make sense for me, because I have, over the years, blown out my voice," Cage said. "I think that might, might, lend itself to Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar."
