After seeing those previous threads about the Rising Tide and about Namor, I would like to share my idea of a unique MCU-movie.
After the heist movie, political thrillers, sitcoms, space opera and fantasy movies, MCU should (and I think eventually will) create a western-genre content as well. And I have an idea how it could work.
.
So, have the 19. century's wild west as the time period.
The main villain is an indian shaman, who is possessed by the supernatural evil entity Adversary, and who is called Nazé. His goal is yet to explained (maybe someone would have an idea), but to achive it he wants to reanimate the dead and creates an army of zombies.
Mephisto, in the meantime, is pissed because of Nazé's actions, and thinks its making fun of him, and humiliates his powers. Mephisto needs a soldier in the real world. He find Carter Slade the right person for that.
Carter Slade is already a vigilante called the Phantom Rider (with no supernatural power, but with fluorescent white dust on everything he has, including his horse). Mephisto doing his tricks and eventually makes Ghost Rider from Slade (with flames and a burning lasso).
Slade has a sidekick (but maybe a sidekick he don't want) named Kid Colt (he was mentioned in Agent Carter s2), and eventually fight Adversary and his zombies. Kid colt protects the civilians the be the regular gunslinger-hero (headshots works against those creatures), while Slade fights Adversary and the rest of the army with spectacularly burning lasso.
Slade as the Ghost Rider leaves to wandering across the country for decades, for hundred of years. --> Leads to another story about how Johnny Blaze gets the power, while Kid Colt stays as western cowboy-hero.
Zombies I know, but unlike Deadpool and the Punisher, it does not need higher age-rate. especially after the zombie-iron man in FFH.
It would be some western-dark fantasy stuff.
Cast ideas:
Zahn McClarnon as Nazé
Scott Eastwood (as a tribute to the western-icon Clint) as Carter Slade
Al Pacino as Mephisto
.
Of course some western-style epic music (like Antti Martikainnen's) that pays homage to Morricone, with a more classic (even the original) song of Ghost Riders in the Sky would fit perfectly.
