What This Means For The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent
It's A Movie Worth Revisiting
As The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent has become a viral favorite, many people are now seeking it out on Netflix. When it first debuted in theaters, the movie earned a modest amount at the box office, grossing $29.1 million worldwide. This indicates not many people caught it in theaters. However, now that it is readily available at home, more people can check it out. With Pascal about to have a huge 2025 thanks to The Last of Us season 2 and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, it's likely many want to check out one of his strongest projects.
Both Cage And Pascal Are Two Of Hollywood's Most Beloved Stars
Though two years have passed since The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was released, both Cage and Pascal are still two of the biggest stars working in Hollywood currently. In 2024, Cage earned acclaim for his terrifying portrayal of the titular serial killer in Longlegs, and he will step into his Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse role, Spider-Man Noir, in a live-action adaptation of the character. Meanwhile, Pascal will make his Marvel debut as Reed Richards in First Steps before bringing his bounty hunter Din Djarin to the big screen in 2026's The Mandalorian and Grogu.
