Ghost Rider, led by Nicolas Cage, made the Marvel character a sensation among movie fans. Now, Ryan Gosling is set to take the mantle from Cage. He is the internet’s favorite, and the film will soon hit the floor. Ahead of the reboot, we are taking a quick look at Nicolas Cage’s original movie and the sequel’s worldwide box-office profits. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Ghost Rider (2007)

  • Worldwide collection – $228.7 million
  • Budget – $110 million
  • Break-even – $275 million

The first film, released in 2007, introduced Nicolas as Johnny Blaze, but despite a cult following, it was a box-office flop at the time. It received negative reviews and did not even break even at the worldwide box office. It ended its run at $47 million before hitting break-even.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)

  • Worldwide collection – $132.6 million
  • Budget – $57 million
  • Break-even – $143 million

Nicolas Cage reprised his role as Johnny Blaze despite the first film’s box office failure. It received worse reviews than the 2007 film and, as a result, another sequel was canceled. Nicolas Cage reportedly stated that he was done with this franchise. This movie, too, failed to turn a profit at the box office. Spirit of Vengeance ended its run almost $10 million below the break-even target.

Which film suffered the bigger loss?

According to the data, Ghost Rider suffered a greater loss relative to the break-even target at the worldwide box office. Despite the makers making the sequel and the MCU already being in place by then, it did not have much impact. It would have performed better if Spirit of Vengeance was released after 2012’s The Avengers.

Here’s what we know about the Ryan Gosling starrer movie

Ryan Gosling will portray Johnny Blaze in the MCU, and his film is reportedly set to begin shooting next year. Gosling-starrer Ghost Rider will be directed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, and pictures of him in costume as Johnny Blaze with Levy for the MCU are going viral on the social media platform X.

The rumored cast also includes Rosamund Pike and Connor Storrie. It will be shot on film and will go on the floor in New York next year. Dune 3-famed Linus Sandgren will be in charge of cinematography. Ryan Gosling-starrer Ghost Rider is scheduled to be released in 2028.
