Wes Bentley’s Ghost Rider Villain Blackheart Is Marvel’s Lamest Antagonist

by Wes Bentley ghost knight The villain Blackheart is possibly the worst villain in Marvel movies. Nic Cage, a popular comic book fan, has been trying to make a superhero movie for years. He is obsessed with tim burton’s famous unfinished work superhero life As protagonist and antagonist in two canceled Joel Schumacher films free batman with Sam Raimi Spiderman. He finally caught his own superhero ghost knightBut because the genre was in an odd position in 2007, it didn’t reach its full potential.

ghost knight Follow stunt racer Johnny Blaze as he contracts the devil to be his devil bounty hunter. The material’s horror tone is more in line with the R rating, but the result is a PG-13 blockbuster that doesn’t satisfy fans or audiences. Mediocre scenarios and forgettable actions are just some of the big problems ghost knightbut Cage came back in 2011 Ghost Rider: God of Vengeance. Co-directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (winch) directs the sequel/soft reboot, has better action and darker tones, but still has script and story issues.

Cage later ruled out a comeback Magic Knight 3 After this, the copyright belongs to Marvel, and Marvel The leader’s minions, played by Gabriel Luna. The big question of 2007 ghost knight is the central villain, Wes Bentley’s (Fallout – Fallout) Blackheart, never felt like a threat. This demon is the son of Mephisto (Peter Fonda), who wants to overthrow his father and take over Hell.

Ghost Rider is summoned by Mephisto to bring back Blackheart, while also battling his demonic minions. It’s an old joke that Marvel’s villains, especially some of the MCU’s mainstays, are pretty lame compared to the heroes. Thor: Dark World Malekith cursed or ant Man Yellow Jacket is the weakest, but outside of the MCU, Julian McMahon’s 2005 Victor von Doom Fantastic four or venom from Spider-Man 3 Also underrated.

Even with these examples, Wes Bentley’s black heart is perhaps the weakest. For a powerful demon with one-touch powers, the character poses no threat at all, although the film attempts to augment his threat with some CGI demonic features. While Bentley is a great actor and does a great job elsewhere, it feels like he’s gliding through the character, only really coming to life when he’s in the lead role. Knight himself proved to be more intimidating, which means there wasn’t much emotion when he finally defeated Blackheart in the finals. Ghost Rider Blackheart is a great villain, and the movie will still have issues, but his lameness certainly doesn’t help.
