SDCC Exclusive: Ghost Rider Himself… Nicolas Cage

Early in 2012, Nicolas Cage will be returning as Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, but this time he’ll be playing Ghost Rider as well in what’s bound to be a wild revamping of Marvel’s supernatural hero by Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.

SuperHeroHype had a chance to sit down with Cage before the Sony panel in Hall H, which you can read about here, and they learned about why he decided to come back to the role and what was involved with playing both sides of the chopper-riding hellspawn.

Check out what he said in the video interview here, and you can also watch the previous video interviews with directors Neveldine/Taylor and actor Johnny Whitworth here and here.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance comes out on February 17, 2012.
