New ‘Madden’ Trailer Drops Featuring Nicolas Cage as Football Icon

As a huge movie and football fan, I was thrilled to see the first trailer for Madden! It finally gives us a really good look at Nicolas Cage transforming into the iconic John Madden. I’m already excited to see him in the role!

Trailer Teases Thanksgiving 2026 Release

The trailer begins with the statement, “There’s only one John Madden—they didn’t make another,” and then shows how he went from being a Super Bowl-winning coach for the Raiders to a famous broadcaster and the face of the popular Madden NFL video game.

Nicolas Cage brings a realistic and intense energy to the role, capturing the powerful impact John Madden had on the sport of football.

The film is scheduled for release on Thanksgiving 2026.

From the Sideline to the Screen

The movie Madden tells the story of coach John Madden, focusing on his decision to retire from football because of health concerns and his unexpected second career helping Electronic Arts create the hugely successful Madden NFL video game series.

The trailer gives us glimpses into important parts of John Madden’s life, including the pressure of being in the locker room, his first experiences with EA Sports, and recording voiceovers for the games.

Christian Bale plays Al Davis, the owner of the Raiders, in the film. John Mulaney stars as Trip Hawkins, who founded EA, alongside Kathryn Hahn as Virginia Madden and Sienna Miller as Carol Davis.
