I don't remember the bit about them explaining the face change. Just maybe a line about the devil wearing different faces.

It's an entire animated sequence about how the Devil's body dies over a period of time and that he needs to get a new form in order to keep walking outside of hell. I haven't been able to find it on YouTube, but I know it's in the movie.

It's like Superman Returns in the sense that it's unclear whether it's a reboot or sequel to previous films. It has a bit of an identity crisis.

Yeah. I will say the Ghost Rider movies came out when Marvel had formed its studio. I guess the revenue from previous blunders like Man-Thing and Elektra lead to Marvel Entertainment establishing Marvel Studios in 2006. Ghost Rider was just the end of that disastrous era for Marvel.
