Ryan Gosling’s MCU Casting Rumors Aren’t Official (Yet), But I Want Them To Be
Summary
Previously, Nicolas Cage portrayed Johnny Blaze's Ghost Rider, while Gabriel Luna played Robbie Reyes' version in Agents of SHIELD. Both of these interpretations were solid, but neither are considered canon to the MCU. This creates the opportunity for the flame-skulled antihero to be reinvented by Marvel Studios, and several actors have expressed interest in playing Ghost Rider. Recent rumors suggest Ryan Gosling may have already been cast as Ghost Rider, and I am hopeful that this casting could actually come to fruition.

Ryan Gosling Wants To Play The MCU’s Ghost Rider (& Kevin Feige Wants Him Too) Ryan Gosling Has Wanted To Join The MCU For A Decade![]()
As of now, Ryan Gosling has been on Marvel Studios' radar for a decade, as he previously vied for the titular role in 2016's Doctor Strange, as revealed by The Hollywood Reporter in a 2014 article. Despite losing Doctor Strange to Benedict Cumberbatch and the role of Hal Jordan in 2011's Green Lantern to Ryan Reynolds, Gosling continues to express interest in joining a superhero franchise. During a 2022 interview with Josh Horowitz for MTV News, Gosling claimed the Marvel role he really wants to play is none other than Ghost Rider.
Following these comments, MTV News caught up with Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige, who endorsed Ryan Gosling, and claimed he'd "love to find a place for him in the MCU." As recently as May 2024, Gosling reiterated his interest in being Ghost Rider during an episode of the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, and this has spurred a flurry of new rumors claiming he's officially been cast in the role. Obviously, these claims are still unconfirmed, but Gosling's unwavering interest in being Ghost Rider in the MCU is commendable, and could spell good news.
Ryan Gosling’s Ghost Rider Is Exactly What The MCU Needs Ryan Gosling Is One Of Hollywood's Biggest Stars Close The MCU is still in dire need of some new star-power. Ryan Gosling fits the bill perfectly.
It's undeniable that Marvel Studios has faced a series of problems since Avengers: Endgame and the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, not least losing three of its biggest stars: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson. While I'm excited for upcoming projects such as The Fantastic Four and Blade to introduce the likes of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Mahershala Ali, the MCU is still in dire need of some new star-power. Ryan Gosling fits the bill perfectly. As one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Gosling would bring a new level of esteem to the MCU.

Ryan Gosling's previous experience also seems to have uniquely set him up for the role of the MCU's Ghost Rider. Gosling has acted in dramas, thrillers, comedies, and science fiction epics, and has even portrayed stunt drivers and performers in the likes of Drive, The Place Beyond the Pines, and The Fall Guy, mirroring Johnny Blaze's Ghost Rider perfectly. With a huge fan-base, Gosling's casting as Ghost Rider would ensure massive audiences in theaters, which Marvel Studios needs after several recent disappointments.

Leading man Gosling would clearly have no qualms about taking on a solo movie as Ghost Rider, but Marvel Studios may have worked out a more collaborative destiny for the Spirit of Vengeance. In recent years, the huge number of supernatural and monstrous heroes being introduced to the MCU has spurred speculation that the Midnight Sons will soon be forming. This team was originally brought together by Ghost Rider in Marvel Comics, so Ryan Gosling's demonic hero could be a crucial character among the much-anticipated Midnight Sons in the MCU.

This team could comprise some of the biggest actors involved with Marvel Studios, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Mahershala Ali, Oscar Isaac, and Elizabeth Olsen. This caliber of talent certainly calls for Gosling's involvement. Ryan Gosling's inclusion as Ghost Rider would make the Midnight Sons the most star-studded (and expensive) superhero team in live-action history. I know I'm not alone in wanting to see this team burst onto our screens in the near future, so recent speculation of Ryan Gosling's casting as Ghost Rider has me very excited, though only Marvel Studios itself can confirm his true future.
