Minority Mindset

According to industry insider Daniel Richtman on X, Ghost Rider won’t be appearing in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, even though Marvel was previously searching for an actor to play the role. Richtman believes Marvel Studios decided against introducing the character in this film.

James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash was the biggest movie of 2025, earning $1.441 billion worldwide. Though the film cost over $500 million to make, it wasn’t the only significant event in Cameron’s year.

Even though the Spider-Verse has space for many different heroes, the choice to replace the Spider-Noir character was unexpected. With the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie coming soon – and featuring Peter Parker – and Nicolas Cage having already played Spider-Man Noir as Peter Parker, the decision to change the character makes you wonder why. Fortunately, there is a good reason for the change.

When NBC announced a new version of The Rockford Files, it immediately became a highly anticipated TV pilot. Only two actors were considered for the main role, but Nathan Fillion ultimately landed the part.

Even though Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the ninth Spider-Man film, Sam Raimi’s earlier movies remain incredibly important to the superhero genre. Each film has offered its own take on the character, but one stands out for a particularly insightful quote. This quote goes beyond the famous idea of power and responsibility, and really gets to the heart of Peter Parker’s character and what drives him.

It’s definitely possible we’ll see other Spider-Noir characters break away from their original stories, but it’s important that one character, Cat Hardy – who has the potential to be the first live-action Black Cat – isn’t played too cautiously. Hopefully, the filmmakers will take some risks with her portrayal.
