Nicolas Cage Reveals What He'd Need To Return As MCU's Ghost Rider
Nicolas Cage reveals what it will take for him to return as Ghost Rider in the MCU. Cage had been a comic book fan for years, and after a failed attempt to play Superman in Tim Burton's scrapped Superman Lives project, he finally got to step into the role of a superhero as Johnny Cage in 2007'sGhost Rider. The actor reprised his role in 2012's Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence, but the film failed to live up to expectations, and plans for a third movie were scrapped with the rights reverted back to Marvel Studios.
Ghost Rider has already appeared in the MCU, as the Robbie Reyes incarnation of Ghost Rider appeared on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and was set to get his own spin-off series on Hulu, but the series was canceled. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also hinted at the existence of Johnny Blaze in the MCU in Robie Reyes's origin story, but the character's human face was never shown, leaving the door open for Marvel to cast any actor in the role, even possibly bringing back Cage if they so wanted to. As the supernatural side of the MCU begins to fill up with characters like Blade, Moon Knight, and Werewolf by Night set to appear, it is just a matter of time until Ghost Rider makes his grand return.
