10 Comic Book Movies That Actually Deserve Remakes
6. Ghost Rider
Arguably, Ghost Rider is in the same category as Fantastic Four in that it’s had two chances, getting a surprising sequel in Spirit Of Vengeance. Nicolas Cage has such an eclectic filmography that it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle when all’s considered, so this movie definitely deserves another crack of the whip.
Following Deadpool and Logan, the groundwork is set for another Ghost Rider to go all out. It’s a dark and tragic story at heart, with a man selling his soul for the sake of a loved one, but it also leaves room for interpretation that some looser reins could really help.
Rather than saving his father as it is in the comics, Blaze could instead sell his soul for a lover, or even to help someone he has wronged. They can show the guilt and weight on his shoulders much clearer than the Cage movie did.
With Cosmic Ghost Rider (who’s actually Frank Castle, not Johnny Blaze) now a comic book Guardian of the Galaxy, not to mention that Blaze’s nemesis Mephisto is also a rival to Silver Surfer, a character expected to appear in Phase 4, some version of Ghost Rider may make it to the MCU yet.
