Details have surfaced about Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance that was written by David S Goyer and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.
There are potential spoilers in this synopsis, so consider yourself warned.
The sequel is set several years (possibly even a decade) after the first film, and sees Johnny Blaze in a self-imposed exile from the world. (For some reason when you exile yourself from the world you have to move out of the US and go to Europe…or Mexico, its always one of those) The tormented Blaze sees his demonic powers as a curse rather than a means to do justice. The former stuntman is then approached by Moreau, a member of the monastic order of the warrior / archangel Michael. Moreau needs someone capable of protecting a mother and son duo (Nadva and Dannv) who are being hunted by a character named Roarke. Roarke also seems to have specific interests with the Rider, and possess intricate knowledge of the bounty hunter and his “different identities over the centuries.”
So as reported, this is not going to be a Reboot, but rather a direct sequel that will pick up later.
I would have rather seen a reboot with someone younger behind the flaming wheels, but if they are going to sequel it, it makes sense that they went with Cage again.
Lets just hope that this doesn’t switch Cage back into his ‘off mode’ for films as he has been putting out some pretty good films as of late.
