"Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," the sequel to the original "Ghost Rider," flopped for several reasons. Critics and audiences generally found the film lacking in coherent storytelling, character development, and engaging plot. The film's tone was inconsistent, and it failed to resonate with fans of the superhero genre. Additionally, the marketing was not particularly effective, and the film's release faced competition from other blockbusters. Overall, it struggled to distinguish itself from its predecessor and did not achieve the same level of success.

As of October 2023, there is no officially confirmed new "Ghost Rider" movie from Marvel. However, there have been discussions and interest in reviving the character, particularly with the recent trend of exploring darker themes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Additionally, the character of Johnny Blaze, the original Ghost Rider, has been mentioned in various fan discussions and rumors, but no concrete plans or announcements have been made by Marvel Studios. Keep an eye on official Marvel announcements for any updates.

No, Johnny Depp does not appear in "Ghost Rider." The film, released in 2007, stars Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze, who becomes the titular character, a supernatural motorcycle rider. Depp is not associated with this film or its sequel, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," released in 2011.

"Ghost Rider 3" was cancelled primarily due to a combination of factors including the disappointing box office performance of its predecessor, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," and the overall challenges in producing a successful superhero film that connects with audiences. Additionally, the rights to the character were held by Sony, and as Marvel Studios moved forward with its cinematic universe, there was less interest in continuing the franchise. Ultimately, the project failed to gain traction with studios, leading to its cancellation.
