Ryan Gosling Reportedly Eyed to Play Ghost Rider in Marvel's AVENGERS
Could Ryan Gosling be taking on the role of the Spirit of Vengeance in the MCU? According to a new rumor, Marvel Studios may be looking at casting the Barbie and The Fall Guy star in the role of Ghost Rider in Avengers: Doomsday .
While nothing has been confirmed by Marvel, the report has MCU fans revving their engines. The report comes from scooper @MyTimeToShineHello on X, claiming Marvel wants Gosling to suit up as the iconic flame-headed antihero.
Industry insider Jeff Sneider previously said: 'I am hearing Ghost Rider is going to be in Doomsday.' He added, 'This is a search,' clarifying that Nicolas Cage, who played Johnny Blaze in the early 2000s films, is not part of the plan.
Sneider didn't confirm which version of Ghost Rider might show up in the film, but he did acknowledge that Johnny Blaze is the most recognizable incarnation.
His co-host John Rocha chimed in with a reminder that the Marvel Universe has multiple Ghost Riders, including Danny Ketch, Alejandra Jones, and Robbie Reyes, who was portrayed by Gabriel Luna in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Even Sam Elliott took a crack at it, playing Carter Slade in the 2007 Ghost Rider movie.
Gosling himself has previously voiced interest in the role. While promoting The Fall Guy , he said, 'I told Josh I would like to play Ghost Rider.' That 'Josh' was likely Josh Horowitz, host of MTV's Happy Sad Confused podcast, where the quote originated.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige also weighed in at the time, saying, 'Ryan is amazing. I'd love to find a place for him in the MCU' (via Variety). Gosling added, 'I would love to, it would be amazing.'
Of course, there's the matter of scheduling. Gosling is also reportedly set to star in Star Wars: Starfighter , which could complicate things. But with Avengers: Doomsday now pushed to December 18, 2026, there's a solid window for Marvel to make this happen, especially if they want him to stick around for Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
The timing also lines up with rumors of a Midnight Sons project, which would potentially team up Ghost Rider with Blade and Moon Knight in a darker corner of the MCU. This lineup could finally bring the supernatural squad to life on the big screen.
What do you think about the possibility of seeing Gosling in the role of Ghost Rider?
