Amazon MGM Studios has officially dropped the new trailer for Madden, David O. Russell‘s highly anticipated biographical drama — and the internet is already buzzing over the transformations.

Chronicling the monumental life of football icon John Madden, the film tracks his trajectory from a Super Bowl-winning coach on the Oakland Raiders sideline to the booming voice of the NFL broadcast booth and the mastermind behind the global video game empire.

But a legacy that great demands a star-studded ensemble. Leading the charge is Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage, who undergoes a dramatic physical transformation to step into Madden’s signature coaching gear. He is joined by fellow Academy Award winner Christian Bale as the uncompromising Raiders owner Al Davis, along with a stacked supporting cast featuring Kathryn Hahn as Virginia Madden, Sienna Miller as Carol Davis, John Mulaney as EA founder Trip Hawkins, and Shane Gillis.

Scroll through the gallery above for a first look at how the movie’s stars compare to the real-life sports legends bringing football history to the screen!
