It looked touch-and-go there for a second, but Nicolas Cage confirmed he will reprise his role in the sequel to Ghost Rider.  Per Box Office Mojo, Sony has set a date for Cage’s return: Ghost Rider 2 hits 3D theaters on February 17, 2012, five years and a day after the original hit on 02/16/07.

I know, I know — you weren’t clamoring for a sequel.  But the studio entrusted Ghost Rider 2 to Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.  The unapologetically bonkers minds behind the Crank series.  If you want to make a fun movie about a flaming skeleton biker, you hand the keys to Neveldine/Taylor.  Done deal.  For more information on the film, check out Steve’s interview with producer Mike De Luca.

    I’m sorry, but how is handing the movie off to a couple of morons who can’t make a movie going to help?

    Crank is one of the worst things to happen to films in the last few decades, now we can expect to see Cage riding through cities lopping peoples heads off throughout the entire movie.

      The series itself is doomed seeing as it has Cage as the lead; a complete miscast, even if Cage is a good actor he certainly doesn’t belong in this role. You may as well make him Hellboy.

    The Crank series has really been love it or hate it, personally I loved them. Regardless I am not sure the guys behind those films are the right fit. The first GR film was extremely goofy intentional or not so this news doesn’t exactly excite me. I think a comic property they could make a successful film treatment would be with a character like DC’s Lobo.

    just keep Ghost Rider away from the original director “Steven Mark Johnson”…he’s the same guy that ruined DareDevil.
