This is for you, 13-year-old boy who enjoyed the Mark Steven Johnson original/25-year-old fanboy still clinging to belief in the source material along with the visual prowess of Neveldine/Taylor and writing abilities of David “The Unborn/The Invisible/Blade: Trinity” Goyer.
Below you’ll find the details on the plot for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, written by Goyer, to be directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (warning: it may contains spoilers, and mediocrity):
The sequel is set several years (possibly even a decade) after the first film, and sees Johnny Blaze in a self-imposed exile from the world. The tormented Blaze sees his demonic powers as a curse rather than a means to do justice. The former stuntman is then approached by Moreau, a member of the monastic order of the warrior / archangel Michael. Moreau needs someone capable of protecting a mother and son duo (Nadva and Dannv) who are being hunted by a character named Roarke. Roarke also seems to have specific interests with the Rider, and possess intricate knowledge of the bounty hunter and his “different identities over the centuries.”
Sounds like Batman Begins meets Superman Returns meets every other superhero movie ever made. You know when they talk about how the sub genre already tired, offering retreads of retreads in the vain hopes of maintaining an audience. Yeah, how about that?
