Ghost Rider Reboot Fan-Cast!!! PLUS EXTRAS

Ghost Rider...and friends.
Ghost Rider is in desperate need of a reboot. Since theres a strong chance that may happen I'e decided to cast some characters from the comics. Also since there isn't THAT many well know Ghost Rider characters I decided to throw in a bunch of random castings that I've been meaning to show.

Ghost Rider/Johnny Blaze- Johnny Depp


Johnny Depp was Marvel first choice to play GR and he actually expressed interest in the role as he is a fan of the character, however Depp apparently read the script and well...y'know...bolted! But if Marvel gets it's hands on GR and writes a damn good script then I think Depp would try it out. Plus the guy is Johnny "[frick]IN" Depp!!!!!!! He'd do a great job as Blaze.


Ghost Rider II/Daniel "Danny" Ketch-Emile Hirsch



Danny Ketch was GR for quite a long time and I think he should make an appearence in a future movie. I chose Emile Hirsch because he looks like the character and is a great actor. Just imagine that Speed Racer never happened. He starred in "Lords of Dogtown" alongside Heath "the Joker" Ledger, and it's one of my favourite movies. He really is a great actor.

Mephisto-Willem Dafoe


Willem Dafoe just looks evil, really, even when he's playing Jesus he still looks like he's gonna kill ya next chance he gets. He's a magnificent actor and would do a grand job as Mephisto.


Blackheart-Richard Armitage


Richard Armitage played the tormented and dark character, Guy of Gisbourne in the Robin Hood TV series on BBC. Although he's not a househould name I think he has a lot of potential. He would be playing Blackheart in his human form, but I'd like to see his original comic book form aswell.

Vengeance/Michael Badilino-Terry Crews


Vengeance is basically the bulked up version of Ghost Rider who after a short time badgering Ghost Rider, became a hero after realising Ghost Rider wasn't his enemy. Terry Crews looks about right, I don't know if Vengeance is black or not though so if you know tell me. ;)

The Orb/Drake Shannon- Dominic West


The Orb is a strange villain, he wears a hypnotic eyeball helmut and carries a ray gun....oh well. I picked Dominic West because hes a pretty good actor, theres not much else to go on. I mean he's a giant eyeball.

AND THE REST.

Okay so that's all the Ghost Rider stuff, heres my other castings I've been meaning to show.

Luke Cage/Powerman-Morris Chestnut


I've never seen Chestnut act but my god does he look like Cage, I know that he's starred in films such as Boyz N the Hood which I've seen I just can't remember him in it.

Dr. Strange/Stephen Strange- Liam Neeson


Do I really need to explain this one? Liam Neeson + Dr. Strange = Perfection.



The Punisher/Frank Castle- Josh Brolin


I was actually a fan of the first Punisher movie with Thomas Jane and don't see how it got such bad press but we got a crappy reboot. A REALLY crappy reboot, so I guess we need another one..only good. Josh Brolin is a terrific actor and I think he'd be a pretty cool Punisher.


Wolverine/James Howlett/Logan- Stephen Moyer


I started watching True Blood and I've become addicted. Great show and great performances from Moyer, who plays his character with rage and mystery, that pretty much sums up Wolverine. Hugh Jackman was great but it's time to get some new blood in there.

Moonknight/Marc Spector-Wentworth Miller


Wentworth miller is a pretty good actor who I think can convey the obsession and down right insanity of Moon Knight well.


Buulseye/???-Daniel Day Lewis


They look reeeallly similar and Daniel Day Lewis is an incredible actor, he could be a really chilling Bullseye.


And that's it, hope you enjoyed my "Ghost Rider and Friends" Fan-Cast ;) leave a comment please.

legionbecks - 11/14/2009, 10:37 PM
but i say wolverine shouldnt be played by any other than hugh.
legionbecks - 11/14/2009, 10:38 PM
Really good cast.

The only ones I'm not in total agreement with are Luke Cage, Moon Knight, and Bullseye. But those are just personal preferences, I prefer Terry Crews as Cage, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Moon Knight, and Michael Fassbender as Bullseye.

Everything else is pretty great.

Oh, and Liam Neeson is Doctor Strange! He's so perfect!

I really like your picks @ RYDEN @ bar two anyway.

I think you've got DEPP mixed up with NEESON???!

DEPPS a perfect STRANGE and NEESON (again lol) Looks too much RAL'S for the part and more importantly way too old for STRANGE unless it was the end of his career thing, too old. Plus DEPP would own the part!

Also CAGE should have another try at GR (Well he is anyway, hopefully it'll be much better this time).


Whats wrong with TOM JANE as PUNISHER, [frick]ing wicked PUNISHER man!!


As for your other picks okay, but i got DDL for RED SKULL (Still luv COLIN FARRELL for BULLSEYE) and WENTWORTH for USAGENT and PASDER (HEROES) for MOON KNIGHT etc, but your picks are really good too.


Your amazing picks though are: GR II, ORB, MEPH, WOLVERINE, BLACKHEART, Awesome picks!! Luv 'em dude!!!

Dont know the guy for CAGE?! Though ive also seen that movie lol!

Kudos picks man, its just the DEPP not for STRANGE pick really from being a big thumbs up. Please @ RYDEN @ Download or rent the movie : THE NINTH GATE, you will believe man, perfect i tell ya!

Great work though dude, and totally dig BLACKHEART, now thats the BLACKHEART we want to see!!




LEEE777 - 11/15/2009, 1:14 AM
Johnny Depp isn't good choice
superheromoviefan - 11/15/2009, 1:28 AM
Richard Armitage is a perfect Blackheart!

Good cast!
DDD - 11/15/2009, 2:58 AM
@legionbecks- thanks but it's a reboot and evryone needs to get re-cast that includes hugh

@tyler- cheers ;) even I'm not to sure on Cage since I've never seen the guy act and I hate to base just on looks alone but I'll take this guy over Tyese Gibson LOL

@LEEE- Dr Strange IS old, Depp's too young. Neeson is an amazing actor and is the perfect Dr Strange man I've seen the ninth gate and it was a good movie but I'm sticking with Marvel's first intentions on this one, Depp is Ghost Rider.

@superheromoviefan- An explanation as to why you think that would be nice...

@DDD- Thanks man ;D

Ryden - 11/15/2009, 3:45 AM
I am a fan of the Thomas Jane punisher to. On a sidenote, if a movie about DB Cooper is made, then Thomas Jane should play DB.

Actually, I like your choice for Wolverine, although I am a fan of Hugh Jackman. Great idea for Blackheart. And I can certainly see why you picked Willem Dafoe.

On the subject of a Ghost Rider movie: I think there needs to be alot more attention towards creating atmosphere in a Ghost Rider movie. For example, look at Sweeny Todd starring Johnnie Depp.

Now, this is just a suggestion, but what about Tim Burton directed Ghost Rider (yeah, I know, ironic if Depp is cast as Ghost Rider). What do you think? Could Tim Burton deliver an amazing Ghost Rider movie? I certainly think he can, whether it's Depp in the title role or not.

6of13 - 11/15/2009, 6:39 AM
@6of13- I could see a Tim Burton Ghost Rider movie I think he could do a pretty good job and Depp would be the perfect Ghost Rider in that case. I also think Guilmero Del Toro would do a good job but I prefer him for Doc Strange. Cool idea ;)
Ryden - 11/15/2009, 6:51 AM
defoe is a decent pick for mephisto but i still think peter fonda can pull it off...heck al pacino is the man to play mephistopheles!!
as for blaze...depp...ummm maybe...but heck christian kane or joshua jackson are my picks...
roxanne = christina hendricks
your other picks are damn fine ones also...
but who said clive owen for moon knight? nah...thomas jane makes a better marc spector...hands down
Anil Rickly - 11/15/2009, 7:11 AM
@Anil Rickly- peter fonda did alright but it's a reboot that means everyone has to be re-cast, as for Depp I don't see the pronlem, he's an amazing actor and he was Marvel's first choice...nice roxanne pic ;) and i can see thomas jane as moon knight
Ryden - 11/15/2009, 7:50 AM
i hope the sequel aint a pg13 flick...gr is one that needs be darker...along the lines of spawn...if the ppl who did 30 days of night did these films id luv it...hence why i back alex proyas to make these dark films
Anil Rickly - 11/15/2009, 8:16 AM
@anil rickly- that wouldn't be so bad, but yeah no more pg-13, i'd love an r-rated ghost rider maybe with tim Burton at the helm like 6of13 suggested, with the way Wolfman's looking I would have said Joe Johnstone for Ghost Rider but he's doing Captain America...
Ryden - 11/15/2009, 8:42 AM
NOt bad man, pretty good. But you lost me at Daniel Day. Great actor, but wrong for the role.
THEHAWK - 11/15/2009, 1:33 PM
@THEHAWK- Thanks ;) Seriously how can you not see him for Nullseye, he looks just like him!! LOL
Ryden - 11/15/2009, 3:21 PM
Really good @Ryden. This movie really needs to be rebooted and Johnny Depp or Emile Hirsch could really do it.

I like them all except for Bullseye pick.
Watchtower31 - 11/15/2009, 7:18 PM
oops oh yeah if so then good but can he pull it off ;p. well yeah he bangs ana paquin but can he do the part ;p.
legionbecks - 11/15/2009, 8:52 PM
@watchtower- thanks man ;)

@legionbecks- Have you ever watched True Blood? He plays a character similar to Wolverine in that, right down to the healing factor LOL but seriously he could pull it off ;)
Ryden - 11/16/2009, 1:36 AM
well sometimes when i have nothing to do and when i turn on HBO and if its on i do watch and the episodes i get to watch i dont see him much maybe i guess thats the problem lol.
legionbecks - 11/16/2009, 9:12 AM
Well Ryden, i'll have to give you a big cudos on Brolin for Punisher, man i think he could really sell that character to the masses!!! GOOD THINKING :))

But Clive Owen's my Ghost Rider/Blaze!!! Oh and Rutger Hauer would have been WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYS better than Fonda!!! But good pic with Willem ;)
Shaman - 11/16/2009, 11:07 AM
@Shaman- Cheers man ;) Rutger Hauer would have been cool, maybe even Ed Harris.
Ryden - 11/16/2009, 12:00 PM
Great casting, perfect actually.
I agree with someone on here that Christian Kane would also be a good pick for the role of Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, matter of fact he'd probably make a good Wolverine.

TonyDark - 11/16/2009, 10:20 PM
@Tony Dark- Thanks very much ;) I could see Kane as Blaze.
