Matt Long ("Jack & Bobby") is in talks to play a younger version of the title character played by Nicolas Cage in the Marvel Comics adaptation
Ghost Rider, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The movie stars Cage as a former motorcycle stuntman named Johnny Blaze who agrees to let his body become host to a vengeful spirit -- becoming a bike-riding demon in the process -- to secure the safety of his true love, to be played by Eva Mendes.
Long would play a young Johnny, who makes the deal with the devil. Also starring are Wes Bentley and Sam Elliott. Mark Steven Johnson is directing and wrote the latest draft of the script.
