Norman Reedus is best known for his role as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead, but he's also a noted motorcycle enthusiast and even has his own AMC series that revolves around them. In an interview with Uproxx, Reedus was asked if he'd be interested in playing Marvel's motorcycle-driving Ghost Rider.

"Hell yeah," he replied. "It would be a blast. Do I get a skull face that's on fire and all that stuff? F*** yeah. I'm down." Reedus added that he liked Nicolas Cage's version of the character seen in Sony's Ghost Rider in 2007 and Spirit of Vengeance in 2011.

The Ghost Rider movie rights have since returned to Marvel from Sony. Another character to have their rights revert back to the comic book company was Daredevil in 2013, who has since gone on to have a popular Netflix series with two seasons. However, there have been no confirmed talks of a Ghost Rider reboot.

Reedus was set to star in Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro's Silent Hills, though the game was cancelled last year following rumors of its termination.

Del Toro said the Silent Hills cancellation made "no f***ing sense at all." Reedus expressed hope, calling Kojima and Del Toro "geniuses" and saying a collaboration between the three of them "needs to happen."
