Teaser for ‘Madden’ Sees Nicolas Cage as the Legendary NFL Coach and Video Game Namesake

Christmas Day yesterday brought a trio of football games to streaming platforms, including Prime Video on Amazon, but it also brought the reveal of the first teaser for Madden. The Amazon/MGM Studios original film tells the story of John Madden, who would become one of the great coaches in NFL history, before having his star shine even brighter as a broadcaster and namesake for the iconic football video game franchise.

Nicolas Cage stars as Madden, while Christian Bale plays Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis. The cast also includes Kathryn Hahn, Sienna Miller, John Mulaney, and Shane Gillis. David O. Russell co-writes and directs. Amazon/MGM Studios will release this one in 2026 on Thanksgiving, at least on Prime Video, if not also in theaters.

Here is the teaser trailer for Madden:
