And hard pass

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, but why though?

[-] JakenVeina@midwest.social 11 points 1 day ago

WTF, we already HAVE Ghost Rider in the MCU. Has everyone already forgotten Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

The answer is yes

Come on! Brink Nick Cage back! lol

Wish he get a cameo as old ghost rider

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

If Gosling is Danny Ketch, they could bring in Nic Cage, Gabriel Luna, maybe see if Sam Elliot wants a cameo, and definitely bring back Sacha Baron Cohen as Mephisto. He was the shining moment of Ironheart.

Cohen has come out as pro-genocide though.

He's way more than pro genocide

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 0 points 1 day ago

This is Hollywood we're talking about. They're all pro genocide.

He's Spider Noir now. Also very enjoyable!

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

No doubt. Spider-Noir is great!

Who would even make another Ghost Rider movie? Why on earth would they?

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

It is the MCU.. it isn’t some great artistic endeavor.

It is the movie equivalent of a Big Mac.

Yeah, that’s perfectly clear, but both of the nick cage films were pretty big flops, if I recall correctly. So I can’t quite figure out the logic behind another one—except, of course, for reasons of mismanagement and misjudgement of what the audience might want to see.

In any case, I don’t think the movie will make any money, especially since an A-list Hollywood actor alone is pretty expensive.

Of course, I totally get the Big Mac comparison, but I’m afraid it’s not really appropriate: While a mass-produced product of low quality is to be expected, the Big Mac actually sells—which seems kinda unlikely for a third ghost rider movie....

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

Wow you are spot on. I looked up the Cage movies on Box Office Mojo and the first one sure did flop and the second one did better but not by much.

[-] DandomRude@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I think Cage was having some financial trouble at the time, which is why he starred in just about every movie for a few years. I think that was probably right around the time when at least the first Ghost Ride movie came out. I think Cage just didn't care about pretty much anything, which added yet another funny dimension to his usual, amusing over-the-top performance. For some roles, that actually works quite well—especially since it's so meme-worthy.

Anyway, I saw the first ghost rider film: Can't say I was particularly impressed. If you don't take the movie seriously at all, it's actually kind of entertaining because it's so trashy, tho.

With Gosling, I suppose they'll take the whole thing very seriously and believe in its potential for a remake, like with Blade Runner, I guess. However, since Ghost Rider isn't particularly popular even as a Marvel character, I believe this plan is doomed to fail miserably from the start.

I think there are plenty of movies that would be more deserving of a big budget—even within the MCU.

Should have cast him as Fabian Cortez or Glob, or maybe Fantomex

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago

Seems like Marvel really wanted Gosling due to his fanbase. And Gosling approached Marvel with his idea of this movie.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

i thought he already played something but its not like im realy keeping up with it at this point.
