Movies – Marvel Preps More ‘Ghost Rider,’ ‘Daredevil,’ ‘Surfer’

More Marvel movies on the way, but there’s nothing new in the whole bunch. Variety says that David S. Goyer is “in early talks” to create a Ghost Rider sequel, which will probably not do as well as the 2007 Nic Cage unless it’s a significantly better film. Cage will be back, and there’s no denying Ghost Rider was successful. Goyer is not new to the character, so this could be the best possible scenario.

Now…there are other developments, too. Beyond Columbia revisiting Ghost Rider, Fox is reportedly working hard on a new Daredevil project and what I can only hope at this stage isn’t a disappointing Silver Surfer film. First: The Surfer. It’s just really hard to do the movie, no matter what story you use. In fact, the character was the only redeeming thing about the second Fantastic Four movie, but having seen that, I believe it’s just difficult to make that character the full focus of a film. Supporting character? I can definitely see it.

Daredevil is a sore subject for me and probably for a lot of other fans of the comic book. The movie we got a few years ago was completely de-fanged. So while I hate the idea of trying it again less than ten years later, it really deserves a better treatment than the one it received.
