The notoriously persnickety actor Wes Bentley has finally agreed to his next job. Bentley will star opposite of Nicolas Cage in Ghost Rider.

Bentley will play Blackheart in the adaptation of a Marvel comic book. Cage is set as a former motorcycle stuntman who agrees to let a bike-riding, vengeful demon to possess his body in exchange for the safety of his girlfriend.

Ghost Rider will only be Bentley's fourth movie since breaking out huge in 1999's American Beauty.
