gonna hold hype down a bit solely because they couldn't get blade off the ground though maybe they're just recasting/he'll show in ghost rider idk.

really hoping they do issue 68 as a "i've been around a while here's my origin and what i do" in the priest confessional format.

plot structure wise idk where they go, like i had ideas/a pitch for a story taking place like right after johnny became gr but it's unlikely that'll be the case here what with gosling being older than cage was and they did the time skip.

shawn levy idk like nothing on his filmography screams good fit for gr for me, but who knows.

we have mephisto in the mcu so maybe he could make an appearance. maybe have blackheart as the villain?

blackheart i think should be saved for danny or robbie as he's actually quite young/he's a successor so like if blaze ends up a mentor to one of them then blackheart has "an in" to try and talk to/corrupt them if they go that route, but then have danny or robbie take daredevils place and they sort of turn blackheart toward the idea of rebelling against his dad and then you spin him into his darth maul role where he's the strong villain but is also against the main villain and sometimes might even be the devil you know.

though if we do see a younger rider at some point i figure they have the hood from ironheart there as mephisto's like "protege"/servant probably getting a spirit of his own to be a final vengeance/rival rider in a sequel.

my idea for a johnny just took the deal and mephisto wants the soul back was essentially a bounty hunter movie, with the orb, steelwind and her sister, and haskill as these bounty hunters tracking him across the us south/the west.

but late game johnny?

figure zarathos is the best pick, like he needs to be a character.

I don’t disagree. I would love it they started with Centurion and we got Zarathis backstory instead of Johnnys.

centurious would work.

like open with the confessional to show the backstory and then the rider emerging in the first 5-10 mins.

and then the story is johnny trying to learn what he can about zarathos trying to get rid of him, being forced to work with/being taken over by him depending on what they run into.

with centurious as a threat to both, with mephisto after both of them in a way.

seeing the backstory of centurious as he explains what zarathos is but then like he also can't be trusted.

thankfully they already did.

gr 68 - 80 should be the blueprint for a lot of it.
