Nicolas Cage Reportedly Set to Reprise His Ghost Rider Role in Upcoming MCU Project

As you know, Nicolas Cage was approached by Marvel Studios to appear in director Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine, but that ended up not working. However, it looks like there are plans to bring him back for another Marvel movie.

Ryan Reynolds previously talked about the attempt to get Cage in Deadpool & Wolverine, saying: "They were in early drafts. We had versions of that [sequence], but then as it shook out, you're sort of looking...

“We're trying to make the movie responsibly, as well. It's a big budget. It's the biggest budget of any of the Deadpool movies, but you want to give yourself as much constraint, which really I think facilitates asymmetrical thinking and creativity.

“If you have too much time or too much money, it usually murders that kind of creativity. So, yeah, you're shrinking things. But we did talk to Nic Cage. We tried to get him, but he was a no-go.... I would've loved him."

Now, according to Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel did end up landing Cage for another movie. He said: "I can confirm that Nic Cage will reprise his role as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider in an upcoming project. I don’t know which one just yet, but there aren’t many options left."

So, what films could Ghost Rider show up in? There are the two Avengers films Doomsday and Secret Wars, but there is also talk that Cage could show in Spider-Man 4.

Obviously, none of this has been confirmed by Marvel, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see Nicolas Cage back in action as Ghost Rider in one of these upcoming movies.

What do you think? What movie do you think he will show up in if this rumor is true?
