I’ve been saying it for years. Literally, for years. Norman Reedus is the perfect choice to play Ghost Rider. The real Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze. (Look, I understand the need for diversity, and Robbie Reyes is an interesting enough character in his own right, but he isn’t Ghost Rider. He’s *a* Ghost Rider, maybe, but not *the* Ghost Rider. The real Ghost Rider rides a motorcycle. Even Danny Ketch, who does ride a motorcycle, isn’t *the* Ghost Rider. I’m talking about the original Ghost Rider, and that’s Johnny Blaze. And Norman Reedus looks exactly like Johnny Blaze is supposed to look.
Fans want Reedus in the role. Reedus himself wants the role. “The Ghost Rider conversation has been coming up for years, and yeah, tell them to put me in it,” he said. “I want to play Ghost Rider. That would be great. So, I don’t know, call somebody, make that happen. I want to do it. I want a fire skull. I want my face to turn into a fire skull and whip a chain around. That would be great…I’ll do it, yeah.” Disney/Marvel would be stupid at this point not to cast the guy. So yeah, Kevin Feige. Make that happen.
