I assume, as with the first one, as long as Zarathos is on the screen instead of Cage, I'll enjoy it.
Be well, people of CoH.
Relax, everyone, the movie's in the hands of the guys behind Jonah Hex.

If it has more action that the first, then I'll enjoy it.

Whew! i was worried for a minute.
They're paying for Nick Cage, so we'll get Nick Cage. I wonder if Vengeance will show up?
Ahh, Vengeance. From back when the guys at Marvel decided a demonic biker in leather with a flaming skull for a head just wasn't "hardcore" enough.

The Jonah Hex movie, not so awesome.

Actually, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor were the ones who ran from Jonah Hex screaming.

They left it. You don't think there was rewrites to their original script? Or that the director even followed every but of the script he was given? |

And I enjoyed Gamer! Not the best film out there, but it was enjoyable.

Presuming that in the movie the spirit that is hosted by Blaze IS Zarathos like it was in his original comic series....|

The more recent comic series turned everything upside down and on its ear, and while its clear that Blaze is the GR:Spirit of Vengeance in the comics, he's not hosting Zarathos this time around. It's a different spirit, most likely the one Dan Ketch hosted before he had it exorcised.
Still I look forward to the sequel, despite a few problems I didn't mind the first, especially since John Blaze as a comic character has always been pretty two dimensional/cardboard anyway so Cage can pretty much play Blaze how he wants. Though in the movie, Blaze being a twitching paranoid train wreck of a person before the devil activated the Rider was comic book accurate from the first series.
Wouldn't mind seeing Sam Elliot appear again as Carter Slade/Western GR, but that isn't likely.

The last Ghost Rider series established the Ghost Riders as heavenly spirits, basically heaven's black ops team. Blaze and Ketch are possessed by two different spirits and always have been, and Zarathos' role isn't really very clear now. Jason Aaron's GR run was great IMO, but it did basically ignore big chunks of GR continuity. Not a bad thing in this case, since big chunks of GR continuity suck and deserve to be ignored.

GR continuity has been murky at best since the 90's series. Howard Mackie was giving us bits and pieces then he leaves the book and Ivan Valez jr. pretty much ignores everything and gives us the Noble Kale stuff which didn't seem to fit quite well. Then that series was stopped at ish 93 instead of the last issue being 94 so answers were not quite given. Then comes Peter Parker: Spider-man #93 where GR emerges from the netherworld back on Earth as the Spirit of Vengeance again and remerges with Dan Ketch and rides off. After that, there is no sign of the Rider until that horrific Hammerlane mini series that arbitrarily reset Blaze as the Rider with minimal mention of Dan. Then came the mini series where the angels trick Blaze and release him from the devil's realm to stop the renegade demon only to stick him back there at the end. Then comes the recent 34ish series where its revealed that the Riders are the angelic force of heaven which led to the mediocre Heaven's on Fire mini series and also the 5 issue mini series GR: Dan Ketch that shows what happened to him.
It's all a twisted mess. Both are agents of heaven's blackops squad, Dan hosts a similar but different spirit then before and that spirit appears to be hosted by Blaze now which is according to Caretaker how it was meant to be, except that Dan was never meant to be the Rider at all.
I'm glad the movie is sticking with the old fashioned "deal with the devil and got cursed" reason. Simple.
Also I recently got lucky and found some old 50's comics of the original GR, Rex Fury.
I liked Danny. I wanna see him in the movie, and a nice throw down between two GR's. Only to learn they've been tricked.
Or I'll take Blackout as a villain for the movie. GR can't penance stare him, and he can't die. Should be a awesome slug fest.

If we must have a GR vs GR fight then I'd rather see Badilino in the movie as Vengeance. He at least had reason to hate GR, Dan wouldn't. |

Blackout would be a good choice for a villain, maybe have Skinner teamed with him.
Just don't use The Orb.....ugh...
I'd kind of like to see a new villain, mostly because after the first GR movie I don't trust these guys to get any of the classic villains right. I liked GR, don't get me wrong, but I really have a huge soft spot for the '90s era GR villains and it'd really bum me out to see them screwed up. Screwing up Blackheart was one thing, there's no realistic chance of anyone getting him right on the big screen anyway. Skinner or Blackout though... it's possible to get them right, but there's no way this studio would pull it off. I'd go in hoping to see Skinner and Blackout and leave mad that I got some crappy new characters with their names instead.
