Newest Ghost Rider Update Has Ryan Gosling Fans All Hopeful
It might finally be time Nicolas Cage passes his curse down to the next generation.
Summary:
- So far, Ghost Rider hasn’t had the best representation in Marvel’s live-action movies and shows.
- According to an insider, Marvel is now looking for the lead star for the new Ghost Rider movie.
- Fans name Gabriel Luna, Keanu Reeves, Norman Reedus, and Ryan Gosling as the perfect candidates for portraying the Spirit of Vengeance.
While being an amazing character in the comic books, Ghost Rider has been lacking in the live-action department for ages: the only fully-fledged adaptation of his story is the notorious Nicolas Cage version that, while undeniably Nic Cage-y, didn’t do the iconic character justice. But after years of speculations, things might finally change.
Marvel Reportedly Developing New Ghost Rider
Recently, an unexpected update from the famous movie industry insider MyTimeToShineHello appeared: they claim that Marvel finally made up its mind about attempting to adapt Ghost Rider’s story for big screens once again. The first message was posted on X (formerly Twitter) on February 9, 2024, claiming that it was Kevin Feige’s call.
“Sacha Baron Cohen will return [as Mephisto, his much-anticipated character], obviously. And as for Ghost Rider, they want an A-Lister,” MyTimeToShineHello continued two days later, on February 11.
Marvel fans immediately reacted to the news, coming up with their own suggestions for which Hollywood heavy-lifters would be perfect to portray the iconic devil’s hound.
Marvel Fans Have The Perfect Cast For Ghost Rider
A new iteration of Ghost Rider’s story has been speculated about for years, so fans are understandably excited about the update. Having had more than enough time to think this through, they shared their star line-up for taking over the burning bike — and surprisingly, most fans agree on the same four actors as the best candidates.
Gabriel Luna, Keanu Reeves, Norman Reedus, and Ryan Gosling seem to be the most-voted stars for the role. Luna has already portrayed Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 and proved himself worthy of the title; Reeves and Reedus look the part and give off the ultimate Ghost Rider vibes; and Gosling…
Ryan Gosling expressed the desire to portray the iconic Spirit of Vengeance on several occasions, and Kevin Feige endorsed this choice. If we were to pick the most likely new Ghost Rider actor, it would definitely be the Barbie star whose already massive fame reached new heights after Greta Gerwig’s record-breaking movie.
