Mendes is “Ghost” for Sequel!

Just days after the sequel to the “Ghost Rider” was greenlit, comes the announcement that co-star Eva Mendes has decided to not to “ride” with the filmmakers for the next installment.

Tentatively titled, “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence,” Mendes made the announcement during an appearance at the the press junket for her upcoming film, “The Other Guys.”

Mendes appeared in the first Ghost Rider film as Roxanne, the childhood sweetheart of Nicolas Cage’s Johnny Blaze.

“No, unfortunately,” was the actress’ only comment when asked about whether or not she’d be back for the recently-announced sequel, set to again star Cage with the new director team of Neveldine/Taylor.
