It has been over a decade since “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” premiered, so if “Ghost Rider 3” were to happen, the story could take many different forms. While the third film could directly follow the events of its predecessor, to account for the noticeably aged actors, a time jump is the best way to go. The feature could follow a much older, experienced Johnny Blaze as he continues to fend off the forces of evil from corrupting or destroying Earth. With Mephisto (Ciarán Hinds) seemingly defeated in “Spirit of Vengeance,” perhaps Ghost Rider villains such as Nightmare or Lucifer could step up as the main antagonist.
Additionally, a hypothetical “Ghost Rider 3” would be remiss not to give a bigger spotlight to Danny Ketch. The character is introduced in “Spirit of Vengeance,” portrayed by Fergus Riordan, and becomes an ally of Blaze, who protects him. If “Ghost Rider 3” went ahead with a time jump, an adult Ketch could join Blaze on what could be his last adventure as the motorcycle-riding hero. In the end, either due to his death or retirement, Blaze could pass on the Ghost Rider mantle to Ketch. After all, Ketch is easily the most well-known individual to take on the alias on the pages of Marvel Comics next to Blaze himself. Maybe even the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider could appear as well.
