Columbia Pictures is looking at making a sequel to Ghost Rider, according to Variety.   Variety also runs down activity at all the studios now focusing on keeping their Marvel superheroes employed, and that includes a new version of Daredevil.   Fox is said to be “quietly developing” a new version of the blind superhero.

At Fox, Fantastic Four is getting a reboot, and “Silver Surfer” remains in the works, as do various X-Men spinoffs and sequels.   Sony has James Vanderbilt writing Spider-Man 5 and 6.  Universal has “Sub-Mariner” in development.    And Paramount’s distribution deal including “Iron Man 2″ and planned “Avengers”-based films continues for now.

If the studios let the properties lag in development limbo, Marvel can reclaim them – much like it reclaimed “Iron Man” from New Line, Variety writes.
