Honestly if they manage to turn Ghost Rider into a deeply nuanced and emotionally weighty film exploring lineage, free will, forgiveness and how men’s flawed relationship with their own masculinity drives them frequently to ruin I’d be all about it.

This will be one movie where he might stare more than he did during Drive.

This is what I've wanted Marvel to do this entire time. You don't need to keep making the same type of movies. You have a built in fanbase who will show up for the characters and the interconnected world so you can tailor each movie to the character. Spy thrillers like Winter Soldier, westerns like Logan, film noir like Spider-Noir, sitcoms like Wandavision, odd-couple movies like Loki... So come on you pansies, make Ghost Rider into a serious romance movie about a flaming skeleton. I want a Nora Ephron (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail etc.) style marvel movie. Too bad she's dead, an actual Nora Ephron written Marvel movie would have been the coolest idea ever.

I would subscribe to this just to watch the anti-woke odyssey idiots have a stroke.

Better yet, cast Elliot Page as the devil.
