How to watch the Ghost Rider movies in order

Nicolas Cage's flaming-skulled antihero brought Marvel's Ghost Rider to the big screen in two supernatural action films. With just two entries, here's how to watch the Ghost Rider movies in order.

Ghost Rider follows stunt rider Johnny Blaze, who sells his soul and becomes a demonic bounty hunter with a burning skull for a head. Nicolas Cage played the character in two films, delivering a pulpy blend of superhero action and supernatural horror before the rights returned to Marvel.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order is straightforward with only two Ghost Rider films, released five years apart.

  1. Ghost Rider (2007)
  2. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)

Both films follow Johnny Blaze in sequence, so story chronology matches release order exactly.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The first film establishes Johnny's origin and his deal with Mephistopheles, while the sequel finds him hiding out in Eastern Europe and drawn back into the fight β€” a direct linear continuation.

  1. Ghost Rider (2007) β€” Johnny Blaze becomes the Rider
  2. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011) β€” the Rider seeks a cure

Which Order Should You Choose?

There's really only one way to go: watch Ghost Rider first, then Spirit of Vengeance. The sequel loosely continues from the original and benefits from knowing Johnny's backstory. Both are self-contained enough that you won't get lost, but release order gives you the full arc of Cage's fiery antihero.
