The first teaser trailer for the much-anticipated biopic Madden is out, and it shows Nicolas Cage playing NFL legend John Madden in an exciting preview. David O. Russell directed the film, which follows Madden’s rise from leading the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl win in 1976 to changing football forever through broadcasting and the famous Madden NFL video game series.

Kathryn Hahn plays Virginia Madden, John Mulaney plays Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins, Sienna Miller plays Carol Davis, Joel Murray plays Pat Summerall, and Shane Gillis plays a supporting role.
