Michael Keaton STILL Interested in ‘Beetlejuice 2’
It has been over six years since Michael Keaton first declared his desire to return as the “Ghost with the most” in Beetlejuice 2, and unfortunately Tim Burton has decided he’s rather do garbage like Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Sweeney Todd. While Warner Premiere at one time had hinted at continuing the franchise as a direct-to-disc series (much like they’re doing with Lost Boys), nothing has come to fruition. Earlier this year star Gena Davis said she’d love to return, and now Keaton has once again expressed interest. “Oh I’d do that in a heartbeat,” he told Moviehole at a junket for Toy Story 3, “that’s the one thing I’d love to do again.” Obviously a stars desire doesn’t equal any sort of progress, but it’s insane to me that WB hasn’t even made a renewed effort at this point. What do you guys think?
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
