Nicolas Cage to lend his voice for 'The Croods 2'

London: Actor Nicolas Cage is to reprise his role alongside Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds in DreamWorks Animation follow-up 'The Croods 2'. The 49-year-old actor will join the follow-up to the caveman caper, directed by Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco, reported Contactmusic.

"There's not much to talk about yet because we've got a big lump of clay and we're forming it as we speak. There will be lots of good creatures. We've got creatures that never got into the first movie. We're going to take a very, very close look at those," Sanders said.

The animated hit is set in a prehistoric era and centres on a family who must adjust to the times as new inventions, such as fire, are created.

Cage voices the Croods' old-fashioned patriarch Grug, who is reluctant to accept the new innovations, while Stone lends her voice to Eep, Grug's adventurous young daughter who tries to open her parents' minds and falls for the handsome and smart Guy (voiced by Reynolds).
