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.
