John Whitworth says he’s Blackout

News broke long ago that John Whitworth had a role in the new Ghost Rider movie, but there was no revelation as to who he would be portraying in the film. Recently John Whitworth revealed that he’s playing the villain in the upcoming Ghost Rider sequel.

“I play the villian who, at the beginning, up until like page 70, is human,” explains Whitworth, “I’m not a very nice guy. I’m bad. I get turned into, for those who read ‘Ghost Rider’, the character Blackout. I get turned into him by the devil to complete my job. That gives me the fortitude to fight Ghost Rider and the supernatural abilities to compete on some level with that guy.”

Ghost Rider was one of those comics that just didn’t “stick” with me, so I’m really not too familiar with this Blackout character. I’m hoping that the crew working on this film have decided to present us with a better villain than the sad excuse of a Blackheart we received in the last flick but they’ve yet to hit a home run with a character redesign in my eyes.
