Ghost Rider fans are buzzing about the possibility of Keanu Reeves taking on the role. Is it possible to bring this dream casting to life?
Fans have speculated about Keanu Reeves‘ future since the release of John Wick: Chapter 4, whether he would be joining DC Elseworlds Universe as Constantine or switching to Marvel. Reeves said the following about joining the MCU while promoting John Wick:
“That would be fun. I love those movies. It’s great to be in that kind of make-believe land and be in those big movies and have fun like that. Hopefully, one day, they can find something that I’m suitable for.”

As speculation swirled that Constantine 2 might not happen, and Reeves’ hopes of returning to the role dwindled, fans began discussing what role he could play in the MCU. Fans have suggested everything from Dr Doom to the Silver Surfer, but Ghost Rider seems to be the favorite, which some fans think Keanu Reeves should receive.
A Spirit of Vengeance, the Ghost Rider controls Hellfire and uses the Penance Stare to inflict pain on evildoers. In order to save his adoptive father from cancer, Johnny Blaze took on the role of Ghost Rider; however, he would soon die after doing so.

There are many characters that Reeves has played previously that would make him a great Ghost Rider. John Constantine, for instance, was a violent, anti-social cynic who focused mostly on doing his job. Neo, on the other hand, was a soft-spoken but determined character who easily transitioned into the Chosen One role. In addition to that, John Wick was a cold-blooded, ruthless assassin. As the flaming skull, it’s not hard to imagine Reeves.

Reeves as Johnny Blaze is equally awesome in the images. With the speed he’s moving, the world around him blurs around him as he rides a flaming bike. A hell-like feeling is created by the orange sky behind him, and the flames on his bike.
Reeves has previously stated that playing Ghost Rider would excite him just as much as being the Spirit of Vengeance would. Make sure to follow us over on Facebook & Instagram for more movie news and content.
