Writer/director David "Blade" Goyer is drafting a screenplay for Marvel's "Ghost Rider 2", following the 2007 feature's worldwide box office take of $228,738,393.
Actor Nic Cage will return in a 'darker' interpretation of flaming skull-head 'Johnny Blaze', a former stunt motorcyclist who morphs into a demon vigilante, in a 'darker' interpretation of the character.
Goyer said the new film will not be a 'reboot', but a serious sequel, picking up eight years after the first film, in an "existential place." In the original film, Cage rode a Buell motorcycle for Blaze's stunt cycle and a heavily customized hardtail chopper named 'Grace' that transformed into the 'Hell Cycle'.
"Ghost Rider" debuted in Marvel Comics "Marvel Spotlight" #5 (Aug. 1972), created by editor Roy Thomas, writer Gary Friedrich and artist Mike Ploog.
