Ryan Gosling Confirms Talks About Playing Ghost Rider

Ryan Gosling addressed long-running speculation about him playing Ghost Rider in the MCU, stopping short of a confirmation but refusing to close the door. “I don’t know what to say. We keep hope alive,” he said, later adding, “Some discussions have been had. It’s a complicated situation.” Gosling is otherwise occupied promoting his upcoming sci‑fi film Project Hail Mary and preparing for a role in Star Wars: Starfighter, so he did not announce any casting decision.

Still, he confirmed that conversations with Marvel have taken place. The recent remarks mark the clearest public update on the idea. In 2022 Gosling said Ghost Rider was the superhero he most wanted to play, and Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige responded, “Ryan’s amazing.

I’d love to find a place for him in the MCU.” Ghost Rider has not appeared in a Marvel film since 2012’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which starred Nicolas Cage, though the Robbie Reyes version was portrayed by Gabriel Luna on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
