"Set several years after the first film, Johnny Blaze is in self-imposed exile from the world. Blaze has become a tormented soul, convinced that his powers are a curse. Former stuntman Blaze is then approached by Moreau, a member of the monastic order of Michael, the warrior angel. Moreau seeks a protector for a mother and son duo who are being pursued by a figure named Roarke – a fellow with a detailed knowledge of the Ghost Rider and his different identities over the centuries."
These are the new images for Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance starting Nicholas Cage and Idris Elba. Here are some interviews explaining Elba's character.
"What new things were you able to add to Ghost Rider this time?
Nicolas Cage: I was thinking about trying to find something really weird, which would be like levitating in circles. We called it “the compass” together, to mess with how he would attack his enemies. And then, I looked up in the dictionary, and the word weird literally means ‘to turn around,’ so I thought that was an interesting thing. But it was like trying to design a body language from another dimension. We worked in a room together and looked at different animals – like cobras and insects, and tried to find ways of moving that would hopefully scare you and entertain you.
Who is your character in the film?
Idris Elba: In the history of the comic there’s a character that keeps coming up called Moreau, and he never really takes on the same form, he does a different type of Moreau in the whole series. So Moreau is a character that comes from different types of Moreau, but in this film, he is a warrior monk – that’s how he’s described. Basically his journey is that he has this mission to find the Ghost Rider and take the Ghost Rider on a journey with him. My character is definitely the sidekick of the Ghost Rider, he’s a pretty cool sidekick. I had fun playing him. He’s a French drunk monk.
With comic books, what’s it like to be in this moment in time, when all these characters you loved as a kid are being loved by the masses?
Nicolas Cage: I actually had a vision of it when I was nine, that this was going to happen. It took a while because we didn’t have the technology to make them come to life so magnificently as we do today. It was always so goofy, the stupid costumes of Spider-Man in the old movies in the 60’s and 70’s, and Captain America. But now it’s become all the rage because there’s something in it for everybody. It’s perfect entertainment. It’s exciting for me, I love seeing all the movies happen. I loved the movie Idris made. I was just telling him earlier that I thought ‘Thor’ was wonderful.
Idris Elba: Thanks!"
