Goyer Gears Up For Ghost Rider 2 Nic Cage reappearing for a darker interpretation... November 5th 2009 11:18am | Posted by: Michael Stevens, HNR Senior Editor Writer/director David "Blade" Goyer is drafting a screenplay for Marvel's Ghost Rider 2, following the 2007 feature's worldwide box office take of $228,738,393. Oscar-winner, actor Nic "Face/Off" Cage will return as flaming skull-head biker 'Johnny Blaze', a stunt motorcyclist who is cursed into becoming a demon vigilante. Cage wants to evolve the character into a 'darker' persona for the next go-round. Goyer said the new film will not be a 'reboot', but a serious sequel, picking up eight years after the first film, somewhere in an "existential place." In the first movie, Cage rode a Buell motorcycle for Blaze's stunt cycle and a customized hardtail chopper named 'Grace' that morphed into the 'Hell Cycle'. The 'Ghost Rider' character first appeared in the Marvel comic book "Marvel Spotlight" #5 (Aug. 1972), created by writer/editor Roy Thomas, writer Gary Friedrich and artist Mike Ploog, which led to numerous Marvel Comics series and character cross-overs.
