[wayshway]

The Reuters news agency has reported that Gary Freidrich, one of the creators of the character Ghost Rider, has filed suit against Marvel, Sony, Hasbro and Take-Two Interactive over the production of the recent Ghost Rider live-action movie and subsequent merchandising. Friedrich is claiming that the movie was unauthorized by him and that he has owned the rights to the Ghost Rider property since 2001.

Freidrich's claim to the character is disputed by both Roy Thomas and Mike Ploog, who claim to have had a role in the creation of the character.
