Rumors aboutAvengers: Secret Warsclaim that a slew of non-MCU Marvel heroes will be making thier appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Among them is Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider, the Spirit of Vengence who starred in two films playing the soul-taker from hell. Among Ang Lee’s Hulk and 2005’s Fantastic Four, Cage’s character is now one of the front runners that fans want to see inAvengers: Secret Wars.
However, these plans need to be executed carefully, given thatSecret Warswould need a cameo from Ghost Rider, The Spirit of Vengeance. It needs to be the iconic skull and flames that fans are familiar with, which might spell doom for those expecting to see Nicolas Cage. This is because inGhost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, because of the way the story unfolded, Johnny Blaze is actually the Spirit of Justice, with Blue flames.
As ofSpirit of Vengeance, Ghost Rider has blue flames.
Ever since the events ofGhost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Johnny Blaze has been the Spirit of Justice, with his flame being blue instead of the usual orange and red. This was to signify that Johnny Blaze no longer had any connection with hell, and was a servant of God now, with his body being encased in the much more powerful holy fire rather than hellfire.

Therefore, if this Ghost Rider was tomake an appearance duringSecret Wars, it would not only confuse fans but also overly complicate the plotline. While a simple cameo won’t hurt anyone, having this version of the Rider feature heavily in the story could cause a slew of issues, narratively speaking. However, there is a simple solution to this issue, one that has already been implemented multiple times in the MCU already.
Nicolas Cage fromGhost Ridercould show up instead of the one fromSpirit of Vengeance
The X-Men that we have seen so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have all been from alternate realities. However, they do not seem to have the remnants of any of the adventures they had in their own films, leading to the idea that they might just be adjacent to the Fox X-Men rather than being themselves. This is also corroborated by the fact that the X-Men in the MCU seem to be a fusion of the X-Men in Fox’s films andX-Men: The Animated Series.

Similarly, if Ghost Rider has to be part ofSecret Wars, and it has to be theNicolas Cageversion of the character, then the one that shows up inSecret Warscould be the Ghost Rider from the first film, instead of the one that has already become the Spirit of Justice. The upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine may set the precedent for how characters from other universes are going to be treated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
