Ryan Reynolds revealed that Nicolas Cage was almost included in the cast of cameos for the recent Marvel film, Deadpool & Wolverine, as Ghost Rider. Discussions about Cage's potential return were serious, but ultimately, logistical challenges or creative decisions led to the idea being dropped. The film successfully revived various iconic Marvel characters, including those portrayed by Jennifer Garner and Chris Evans, creating nostalgic moments for fans. Despite the absence of Cage, the film has been well-received for its humor and action. Reynolds hinted that while there are no plans for an extended cut of the movie, deleted scenes featuring other cameos may be released later. The possibility remains open for Cage to reprise his role as Ghost Rider in future Marvel projects.
