Keanu Reeves wants to join MCU, would play Ghost Rider

Keanu Reeves Ghost Rider

In response to the potential Ghost Rider role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Keanu Reeves says it would be the realisation of a childhood fantasy.

Keanu Reeves has discussed the potential of playing Ghost Rider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as fans continue to suggest candidates for the famous role. Due to his connections to the supernatural world and battles with several demonic foes throughout the years, including Lucifer himself, The Ghost Rider is one of Marvel Comics' most recognisable characters. The Ghost Rider moniker, which was given to a variety of characters by the Spirit of Vengeance Zarathos, was most frequently linked with Johnny Blaze. With the 2007 film and its 2011 sequel, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which have amassed cult followings for his performance as the title protagonist, Nicolas Cage immortalised the Blaze incarnation of Ghost Rider. After leaving the part and having a planned sequel shelved, Ghost Rider would return to the big screen with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which mainly focused on Gabriel Luna's Robbie Reyes, who was supposed to get a solo show on Hulu until Marvel Television was merged with Marvel Studios. Although the ABC programme technically took place within the MCU, Reyes' Ghost Rider had the ability to travel to other dimensions, therefore the possibility of a new Ghost Rider joining the franchise was not ruled out.

Keanu Reeves talked about his comic book BRZRKR on Jimmy Kimmel Live! recently, and he revealed which Marvel character he would like to play. Reeves did express his interest in making Ghost Rider come to life for the big picture, although joking that he is more fit for the role of the protagonist in his own comic. Read Reeves' comments below:

How Can Ghost Rider Join The MCU?

Ghost Rider MCU

With the promotion for episode 4 alluding to a man by the name of Donny Blaze, audiences lately began to speculate that a Ghost Rider reveal was coming to the MCU in the near future with She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. It was revealed that the guy, played by Entourage alum Rhys Coiro, was a former Kamar Taj dropout who was using his magic irresponsibly, causing demons to be released on the audience at one of his shows, and who agreed to forego learning the Mystic Arts. While Cage's Ghost Rider would eventually not make an appearance in the movie, some people also started to speculate that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness would feature the reappearance of Cage's character.

Given that Phases 4-6 of the MCU's Multiverse Saga are still in progress, it's not completely impossible for either Cage's Johnny Blaze or Luna's Robbie Reyes to make a comeback as the franchise's Ghost Rider. But there is still a chance that Reeves will get the chance to play the part given how eagerly Marvel Studios wanted to include him in the MCU and how the actor continues to show an interest in the comic book genre in films like the recently released DC League of Super-Pets and the upcoming Constantine 2. Viewers may watch Cage's first Ghost Rider on Fubo and his second on Starz while waiting.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
