<p>Superstar Nicolas Cage shot down the idea that fans will ever see him in a &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; project and explained that he&#8217;s a &#8220;trekkie&#8221; and his place is on the deck of the Star Trek Enterprise.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nicolas-cage">59-year-old</a> actor responded to the idea — which was floated by his former costar Pedro Pascal — after the Disney+ &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; star said he wanted to bring Cage into the famed &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; universe, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/nicolas-cage-rejects-star-wars-for-star-trek-1235482216/">Variety</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not really down,&#8221; Cage <a href="https://twitter.com/djkevlar/status/1611515865165619201?s=20&amp;t=9ippK7HnQZzwlZmbQbhFbA">explained</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;m a Trekkie, man. I&#8217;m on the Star Trek Enterprise. That&#8217;s where I roll.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not in the &#8216;Star Wars&#8217; family,&#8221; the superstar actor added. &#8220;I&#8217;m in the &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; family.&#8221;</p>

<p>The &#8220;Ghost Rider&#8221; star explained how he &#8220;grew up watching [William] Shatner&#8221; and thought the new generation of actors in the &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; franchise like Chris Pine were &#8220;terrific in the movies.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the movies are outstanding,&#8221; Cage shared. &#8220;I like the political and the sociological [messages]. To me, what science fiction is really all about and why it&#8217;s such an important genre is that really you can say whatever you want, however you feel.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You put it on a different planet, you put it in a different time or in the future, and without people just jumping on you, you can really express your thoughts like Orwell or whomever in the science-fiction format,&#8221; the actor added. &#8220;And Star Trek really embraced that. I thought they got into some serious stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>In September at the Disney&#8217;s D23 expo, Pascal shared that he had already pitched the idea of having Cage joining him on the hit Disney series following their 2022 buddy film &#8220;The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,&#8221; the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/09/nicolas-cage-is-no-star-wars-fan-im-a-trekkie/">New York Post</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I already suggested [it],&#8221; Pascal shared at the time. &#8220;I already said he would make a great Mandalorian.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;ll wear a helmet,&#8221; he added.  &#8220;Absolutely … Or he could be one of the helmet-less.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Shatner-lead late 60s &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; TV series branched off into a hugely successful franchise, leading to 13 films to date, not to mention all the hit TV series that stem from the &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; world, since the original aired in 1966, the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/nicholas-cage-not-joining-star-wars-star-trek-1235293231/">Hollywood Reporter</a> noted.</p>
