Rumor Claims that Nicolas Cage Is in Active Talks to Return as Ghost Rider

by

As a long-time fan who has witnessed the transformation of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) since its humble beginnings, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement at the prospect of Nicolas Cage reprising his role as Ghost Rider. The memories of him riding through the night on his flaming motorcycle are etched into my comic book-loving heart.

Do you recall when Nicholas Cage took on the role of Johnny Blaze’s Ghost Rider in the films “Ghost Rider” (2007) and “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” (2011), respectively? Yes, these movies were produced prior to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although they didn’t make a big splash initially, with nostalgia playing a part, fans are eager for another appearance of this character.

After Disney’s purchase of Fox, the rights to these characters were transferred to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), granting them control over Ghost Rider. Given this change, we have shared news about Cage being asked to return in Deadpool & Wolverine, as well as the creation of concept art featuring Ghost Rider. However, these plans did not come to fruition.

Meanwhile, even as Cage focuses on his current project, Spider-Noir, there’s a strong call for him to return to the Ghost Rider character. Amidst this clamor, a well-circulated, albeit occasionally unreliable source of speculation hints that Cage is currently engaged in discussions about reprising his role in an upcoming venture.

According to reports, Nicolas Cage has taken on a new project, namely the “Spider-Noir” series, where he’ll bring the live-action Spider-Man Noir character to life – a role he previously voiced in animated Spider-Verse films. It’s unclear if this role influenced his decision to pass on Deadpool and Wolverine, but it appears that Cage isn’t done with comic book adaptations yet.

It’s safe to say that if Cage takes on the role of Ghost Rider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it will undoubtedly be an extraordinary performance. Known for his tumultuous personal life, Cage is still a highly-skilled actor who consistently delivers fresh interpretations of characters. Therefore, many fans are excitedly anticipating his take on Ghost Rider as they believe it will be truly exceptional.

It’s not a new revelation that I did a video more than a year ago discussing Kevin Feige’s interest in having Nicolas Cage join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Interestingly, Feige also expressed his desire to bring Wesley Snipes into the MCU. Now, with Snipes as Blade in the MCU, it’s high time for Nicholas Cage to reprise his role as…
