Unleashing Nicolas Cage's Best Roles as Dead by Daylight Skins

Dead by Daylight has thrived as an asymmetrical horror game thanks to its longstanding relationship with licensed theatrical IPs. The game frequently adds new characters to either its survivor or killer catalog through DLC chapters. In the past, Dead by Daylight has featured Ash Williams, portrayed by Bruce Campbell, as a survivor. The game's next survivor will be an adaptation of Nicolas Cage himself. With the upcoming movie adaptation through Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, it is likely that Dead by Daylight will continue to draw inspiration from the cinematic world. It remains to be seen which characters will be featured in the movie, but for now, players can enjoy dressing up Cage's survivor with a variety of cosmetic skins based on his previous roles.

Kick-Ass

Cage has played various superhero roles in his career, including Ghost Rider's Johnny Blaze and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's Spider-Man Noir. However, the role that truly allowed him to blend in was Kick-Ass' Big Daddy, also known as Damon Macready. Though the disguise didn't showcase Cage's likeness, it was a fitting nod to one of his most captivating performances in the superhero genre.

Mandy

Mandy, a Nicolas Cage movie that falls under the category of bizarrely graphic or surreal, offers a gruesome and psychedelic experience that can only be compared to black comedy films such as Hobo with a Shotgun. In Dead by Daylight, survivors can customize their appearance with three different pieces, and a blood-soaked Red skin inspired by Mandy would be a perfect addition to Nicolas Cage's already bloodied look.

Con-Air

Cage's portrayal of Cameron Poe in Con-Air is one of his most recognizable looks, especially in still images. The muscle tee tightly hugs Cage's muscular physique and is accentuated by his long, flowing hair. This iconic look has the potential to become a staple in Cage's collection of Dead by Daylight cosmetics.

Pig

Cage's portrayal of Pig's Robin is a remarkable departure from his usual over-the-top performances. He brings a subdued and understated nuance to the character, a refreshing change from his usual erratic and unpredictable roles. His disheveled appearance, complete with a bushy beard, only adds to the authenticity of the character. It's a standout performance that showcases Cage's versatility as an actor.

Nicolas Cage Himself

Cage's signature look and style have been incorporated into his appearance in Dead by Daylight, portraying him as himself rather than a character he has played before. This unique approach could potentially showcase different sides of the actor, while still paying homage to his past roles through cosmetic skins. Although Cage is not typically associated with horror films, his inclusion in the game's roster could pave the way for other big-name actors to join in future updates, expanding the game's content.

Dead by Daylight is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
