Ghost Rider

Up until now, we’ve had two Ghost Rider movies, but we can say that we’ve had none. As fun as it is to watch (at times) Nicholas Cage going bat-shit crazy on the big screen, these superhero movies were missed opportunities. We can even go so far as to say that they were less than that: they were literally pieces of doodoo, made just to cash in on the success of the superhero genre.

Can you at least remember when they were released, or what they had at the center of their plots? We can’t.

How can you make a movie about a rider from Hell (literally), call it a horror-supernatural-superhero flick, and have it be a PG-13-rated movie? You simply cannot. And that is why someone needs to start it all over again, with a proper rating, with some proper villains, and with actual stakes.

We get it – it will probably need a bigger budget, since the main character has a flaming skull instead of a head. But imagine a movie in which the hero is scarier than the villains – we’d see it. Wouldn’t you?

It is unlikely that Disney will want to release a horror flick – but Marvel can still make it and find another distributor. Even if Feige said in 2013 that they don’t have immediate plans for the character, we guess that three years have been enough for him to reconsider his options.
