In an expansive discussion regarding his new film Project Hail Mary, Star Wars, and The Oscars with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gosling was asked if he has had any discussions about Ghost Rider with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. While Gosling kept things vague, he did offer a quite promising update, saying, “Some discussions have been had. It’s a complicated situation.” When Horowitz brought up that Eva Mendes, who is Gosling’s wife, had done a Ghost Rider film, Gosling said, “I’m just happy one of us got to do it.”
Playing Ghost Rider Would Be A Dream Moment for Ryan Gosling, And A Dream Casting For The MCU
Gosling shared his hopes to play Ghost Rider during a previous conversation with Horowitz, which happened in 2024. During that conversation, Gosling said, “I don’t know. I would love to, it would be amazing. Come in [and] be Ghost Rider.” At that time, Gosling revealed that he hadn’t had any conversations with Feige at that time, so those conversations he is vaguely referring to took place over the past two years, and that can’t help but be a positive sign.
The last time fans saw a Ghost Rider on the screen was during season 4 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was based on the Robbie Reyes version from the more recent comics. The role was played by Gabriel Luna in the series and was positively received, but the character has yet to make a return in any subsequent projects.
