"Nicolas Cage has revealed that he really enjoyed working with Idris Elba on Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Cage reprises his role of Johnny Blaze in the Ghost Rider sequel, while Elba plays the monk who sends Blaze out on his journey to save a young boy from the devil.   When asked about working with Elba, Cage praised the British actor for bringing a very unique presence to Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. &amp;quot;Idris Elba is a very grand, masculine presence, a larger than life presence,&amp;quot; Cage said, according to Flicks and Bits. &amp;quot;There aren&amp;#039;t that many actors who can embody that level of size on camera, I always find that exciting, it was definitely exciting working with Idris.&amp;quot; Cage also revealed that he was active in redesigning &amp;quot;the look&amp;quot; of both Johnny Blaze and Ghost Rider for the new film. &amp;quot;The look on Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is a lot more rugged and sort of motorcycle racer. The jacket is a more fitted jacket, you don&amp;#039;t have spikes coming out of it,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;I would say it&amp;#039;s less heavy metal, it&amp;#039;s more organic.&amp;quot;  He added: &amp;quot;When Johnny Blaze, who wears a more traditional tight fitted leather racing jacket with leather pants, morphs into the Ghost Rider... and it was something I talked about with [co-director] Brian Taylor, but the look starts to become like black oil, black oil that is hot and oozing and bubbling.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s much more of an organic, alive look as opposed to a [traditional] heavy metal look.&amp;quot; Cage recently told Digital Spy that he&amp;#039;s been anxious to play Ghost Rider again for quite some time. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance opens in US and UK cinemas on Friday. &amp;gt; Ghost Rider 3 wanted by Nicolas Cage &amp;gt; Nicolas Cage: &amp;#039;Flight prank almost landed Charlie Sheen in jail&amp;#039; Watch a trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
