Talking about the sequel, the 59-year-old actor stated, "My character's son grows up and becomes a rival. It's very Arthurian."

Addressing a jam-packed audience at the event, Nicolas displayed positive energy as he shared insights into a four-decade-long career.

He also revealed that if acting would not work for him, he also had a plan B to become a fisherman in Alaska.

After a long decorated career, Cage has taken to picking his projects more “severely and stringently” and is acutely aware of the passage of time.
