Hoult will be the main character, Rendfield, the helper to the infamous Transylvanian monster. As reported The Hollywood Reporter, Cage joined the cast as Count Dracula after signing the contract with the production.
The news represents a significant opportunity for the actor’s career, since it had already been ten years (since Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) without headlining a Hollywood blockbuster, as we do not count his dubbing work in The Croods O Spider-Man: A New Universe. In fact, the signing as Dracula aims to be a response to the considerable revaluation that his career has experienced in recent years, with successes from independent cinema such as Mandy, Color Out of Space or the most recent and lauded Pig.
Cage has already played a vampire in the past (or rather a guy who thought he was), in Vampire’s Kiss 1988. To the confirmation of this new role must be added the expectation generated with his next appearance in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, where Cage plays himself.
In addition to directing the film, McKay will produce the film with the comic book writer. Robert Kirkman, the mind behind The Walking Dead and who came up with this proposal for the big screen. David Alpert, Bryan Furst y Sean Furst they will also have credit as producers.
