In a video interview with
AMC Theaters, actor Johnny Whitworth, promoting the Bradley Cooper-starrer
Limitless, reveals he'll portray the villain of Sony's
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. In addition to revealing the role, Whitworth also sheds on little light on his place in the film.
One of the takes on 'Blackout' in the comics that'll most likely be used in the film, via Marvel, is a darkness-generating superhuman and professional criminal. He has the ability to automatically generate a light-dampening field which negates all visible light in a significant area. His albino-esque complexion and extreme physical sensitivity to sunlight and light in general likely accounts for this power-manifestation, and its vampiric similarities apparently led him to have his teeth and fingernails replaced with mechanically-enhanced metal ones.
Anyhow, also starring Nicholas Cage, Idris Elba, and Christopher Lamber,
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance hits theaters February 17, 2012 in 3D!
