I know next to nothing about Ghost Rider, so forgive me if this is a dumb question: is the character really so old that Nicolas Cage is a suitable choice to play him?
 
The character itself has been around since the 70s, but when the character first got his powers, he was in his 20s. But you also have to understand that he was orphaned, then adopted, then he made a pact with the devil to save his adopted father (who was dying of cancer, I believe), then his father died like...a week after he was found to be in remission (NOT from cancer). So it's believable that he would look older than he actually is, but...it's debatable as to whether Cage looks as young as the character's supposed to be.

Marvel Database Project - Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze)

And, while Ghost Rider's been around since the 70s, he's certainly not in the top 10 list of recognizable heroes...even just from Marvel. But he is unique (or...was).
 
I don't know much about Ghost Rider but I always thought he seemed cool. And he looked awesome in the preview. :-D
