Amazon Prime Video dropped a teaser for Madden during its Christmas night NFL game between the Broncos and Chiefs, because if you’re going to tease a John Madden movie, you do it during football—anything else would be a penalty. The film is a David O. Russell biopic about Hall of Fame coach, legendary broadcaster, and video game icon John Madden, with a planned Thanksgiving 2026 release. Nicolas Cage stars as Madden, focusing on his Raiders days and their unlikely 1977 Super Bowl win, then tracking his transition from the sidelines to becoming the voice of the NFL and the face behind the Madden NFL video game empire. Christian Bale plays Raiders owner Al Davis, Kathryn Hahn stars as Madden’s wife Virginia, Sienna Miller plays Carol Davis, and Shane Gillis also joins the cast. John Mulaney portrays EA Sports founder Trip Hawkins. The teaser leans hard into Madden’s outsized personality, with Bale’s Davis declaring, “There is only one John Madden. Football wouldn’t be football without him.”
