On Tuesday, Ryan Gosling indicated interest in portraying a superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to MTV News’ Josh Horowitz, who made the announcement on Twitter.
Gosling is reportedly interested in playing Ghost Rider, the stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze that Nicholas Cage portrayed in the 2007 movie Ghost Rider, according to Horowitz, presenter of the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
“Ryan and I chatted about the Nova rumors yesterday which he said aren’t true,” Horowitz wrote, referring to the rumors that Gosling is connected to the Nova project that Marvel is developing. “BUT this morning Ryan reached out to me to say there is one superhero he wants to play…GHOST RIDER.”
A reported Ghost Rider project has existed in the past as well. Back in May 2021, it was revealed that Gabriel Luna would be returning to the role of the Robbie Reyes version of the character from ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
