THE WALKING DEAD Star Norman Reedus Says 'F*** Yeah' To Playing Ghost Rider

With the recent rumours that three fan-favorite Marvel characters were gonna be given a solo series over at Netflix, that sparked discussion and one of those characters is Ghost Rider and one actor just jumped into the fold of the role, get the details.....

With recent rumours that characters like Blade, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight are being considered for their own Netflix show and while that got many excited, nothing confirmed. 2005's Ghost Rider was not a good film, that's for sure. More like a Nicolas Cage-drug ride than an adaptation of the comics, but a movie that is just fun to watch and not that bad; Johnny Blaze is deserving of a redemption and with the rumoured Netflix show being it, who's the actor who's gonna put on a skull? Well, there's some candidates.

Plus, it looks like The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus is interested to play the Ghost Rider, based on his recent comments:

"Hell yeah. it would be a blast. Do i get a skull face that's on fire and all that stuff? [frick] yeah. I'm down"

Reedus would be a very good choice for Blaze, for sure. While the rumours are not confirmed, the announcement of a Punisher solo series starring Jon Berthnal could totally open the way for these characters on the small screen and Ghost Rider or Blade need be on the first round. Remember, the next Netflix-Marvel show is Luke Cage and after that follows: Iron Fist and The Defenders. While The Punisher might be after that, we can't be too sure.


Daredevil season 1 & 2 and Jessica Jones season 1 are now available on Netflix. Luke Cage season 1 will arrive on September 30th, 2016. Release dates for Jessica Jones season 2, Iron Fist, and The Defenders on Netflix have not yet been announced..

It could be Danny Ketch instead of Blaze.

I've never thought of this before, I'd be down.

He's a great actor when given the right material but he's sort of been playing himself in the last few seasons of Walking Dead. Give him a challenge/something new.

@Manman - She'll show up in Defenders, but after that it's very possible.

I think Snyder and Ghost Rider would make a perfect match.

Y'all KNOW that the chain on fire in Agents of Shield in the finale was a testing grounds to see how well Ghost Rider could work on a TV Budget!

@GinjaNinja - Yeah, I thought that too. It looked pretty decent. And if Ghost Rider is on Netflix, I'd imagine they'd have a higher budget and longer production time. Heck, they could start on pre-visualizations for motion capture before they even begin filming the live action.

@GinjaNinja - Hellfire was saved by GR as a child. Hes a GR superfan thats why he uses a chain.....just throwing that out there.

Hell No. SFX wise, I don't see how it would work on Netflix. Still I think he would make a great Johnny Blaze.

SN: Why doesn't Dan Ketch get as much love as JB?! I loved that GR series and if/when Marvel makes a GR movie, they should start with the Dan Ketch version this time.

Should be a Netflix series.

Doubt this can happen on Netflix because of budget issues. But i'd love a Ghost Rider reboot. Reedus would be a decent candidate to play Johnny Blaze, but i'd prefer Charlie Hunnam.

Reedus absolutely nails the carnival-daredevil vibe. Netflix is a hard sell unless they do a very limited run, or made it some kind of cross platform flagship. Cable or network potentially has the budget, and Reedus has the face recognition and fan appeal that could at least warrant a pilot.

Ultimately, I think I'd like to see ABC/Marvel give a go at making a movie (for TV or even potentially theatrically) themselves with institutional support from Disney and ideally Feige. Their Netflix shows that they have the talent to make good versions of these characters, but it's mostly the budget and production schedule that holds them back. An ABC Ghost Rider miniseries that is suitably dark and gritty could definitely work.
