Cage as the comic book character 'Ghost Rider'.Variety reports Nicholas Cage and Cameron Diaz are in talks to join Columbia Pictures' The Green Hornet. Diaz would play a reporter as well as the titular hero’s love interest, while Cage would be cast as a villainous gangster.

Interestingly, neither is a stranger to action films about crime-fighters: Diaz got her breakthrough role opposite Jim Carrey in The Mask, which was based on the Dark Horse comic book. Cage, meanwhile, was nearly cast as the Green Goblin in Spider-Man, would have played Clark Kent/Superman in an aborted Tim Burton production, and recently starred in Ghost Rider.

The pair would hopefully make up the star power lost when Stephen Chow, who was going to play crime-fighting partner Kato, dropped out of The Green Hornet.

So Chow’s out, Cage and Diaz are in. What do you think of Michel Gondry’s summer 2010 film now?
