Norman Reedus Wants to Play GHOST RIDER! Hell Yeah!
Norman Reedus has become a household name thanks to his role as Daryl in AMC's The Walking Dead. He's become quite popular in the fan community, and it all started with his starring turn in The Boondock Saints. Since then he has also appeared in several other projects including American Gangster and Marvel's Blade II.
Reedus now has another new show for his fans to enjoy. It's a reality series on AMC that follows the actor on a cross-country motorcycle road trip. While on a press tour for this series, he was asked about Ghost Rider, and if playing the comic book character is something he would be interested in doing if Marvel moved forward with a reboot. This was his exciting response:
"Hell yeah! It would be a blast. Do I get a skull face that’s on fire and all that stuff? F$$$ yeah. I’m down."
I've always liked Ghost Rider, he's just such a badass character. Unfortunately, Nicholas Cage wasn't the right actor for the job, and the filmmakers hired to write and direct those movies could never really get it right.
Well, Marvel has the rights to the character back, and I would absolutely love to see the character adapted again by the Marvel creative team. I personally think Ghost Rider would make a hell of a great series on Netflix. Of course, if they did decide to make a movie I wouldn't complain.
Reedus would be the perfect actor to take on the role of Ghost Rider, and if Marvel does end up adapting the character again for film or as a series, the actor has got to be at the top of their list!
It would be so cool to see this character introduced into the MCU and fighting alongside some of the other heroes in the universe.
