Ryan Reynolds Addresses Nicolas Cage Almost Returning As Ghost Rider In Deadpool & Wolverine

For all the big returning Marvel actors that appeared in Deadpool & Wolverine, it appears that the Marvel Cinematic Universe film almost had another iconic character return.
During a new interview on Entertainment Weekly"s Awardist Podcast, Reynolds spoke more about earlier drafts of the Deadpool & Wolverine script and what did or didn"t end up using in the final iteration of the screenplay. While Nicolas Cage"s Ghost Rider was initially in one iteration of Deadpool & Wolverine"s script, Reynolds addressed how they tried to get the actor, stating the following:

They were in early drafts. We had versions of that [sequence], but then as it shook out, you"re sort of looking...We"re trying to make the movie responsibly, as well. It"s a big budget. It"s the biggest budget of any of the Deadpool movies, but you want to give yourself as much constraint, which really I think facilitates asymmetrical thinking and creativity. If you have too much time or too much money, it usually murders that kind of creativity. So, yeah, you"re shrinking things. But we did talk to Nic Cage. We tried to get him, but he was a no-go.... I would"ve loved him.
