Nicolas Cage Almost Returned As Ghost Rider: Ryan Reynolds Spills The Details

‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy have confirmed that they did reach out to Nicolas Cage about returning as ‘Ghost Rider’

Appearing on Entertainment Weekly’s podcast, Ryan Reynolds confirmed that he and Shawn Levy reached out to Cage to revive ‘Spirit of Vengeance.’

He said, “They were in early drafts. We had versions of that [sequence], but then as it shook out, you’re sort of looking…We’re trying to make the movie responsibly, as well. It’s a big budget. It’s the biggest budget of any of the Deadpool movies, but you want to give yourself as much constraint, which really I think facilitates asymmetrical thinking and creativity. If you have too much time or too much money, it usually murders that kind of creativity. So, yeah, you’re shrinking things.”

“But we did talk to Nic Cage,” the actor continued. “We tried to get him, but he was a no-go… I would’ve loved him.”

It remains to be seen if Cage will ever return as ‘Ghost Rider,’ but there are rumors that he might show up in ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ along with characters from Fox’s ‘X-Men’ and ‘Fantastic Four’ movies.

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ sees Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), and Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they’ll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen, who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier’s evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directed ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.
