Nicolas Cage Wants Ghost Rider To Team Up With Spidey, Hit The Bottle In Sequel
BEVERLY HILLS, California — Silver Surfer has been seen hangin’ 10 with the Fantastic Four. “Justice League of America” is currently organizing a block party with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and others. In May, “Iron Man” will take time out of his busy schedule to do a fast scene with Nick Fury.
And now Ghost Rider wants in on the action.
“I would love to have Ghost Rider drive onto a ‘Spider-Man’ set; that would be fun,” Nicolas Cage told us over the weekend, insisting that he’s eager to contribute to the cross-pollination of movie superheroes that has become all the rage. “A Marvel team-up? That could happen.”
In February, the A-List Oscar winner stepped into the biker boots and flaming skull of Marvel Comics’ super dark superhero, riding his Hell Cycle all the way to a $52 million opening weekend. Talk of a sequel has surrounded the franchise ever since, and Cage insists that a second movie would free the filmmakers from the chains that left some disappointed in the first flick.
“I would love to do another Ghost Rider,” he said of the character. “I’d make him really dark. Way dark.”
Earlier this year, producer Avi Arad announced plans for “Ghost Rider II” as he stood alongside director Mark Steven Johnson, who’d likely return. Arad has also confirmed plans for additional “Spider-Man” films.
