Ryan Gosling (Still) Really Wants to Play Ghost Rider in the MCU
Ryan Gosling has made no seceret of the fact that he wants to play Ghost Rider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Having divulged that they would like to portray the supernatural anti-hero to Josh Horowitz a couple of years ago, the Happy Sad Confused podcast host relayed the information to Marvel head Kevin Feige.

“Hey man, if Ryan wants to be Ghost Rider…Gosling’s unbelievable. Ryan is amazing. I’d love to find a place for him in the MCU,” Feige said as the lights flickered behind him.
Still, we have heard nothing about the prospect since.
Gosling Is Still After the Role
Appearing again on Happy Sad Confused alongside his Fall Guy co-star Emily Blunt, Gosling retold the Ghost Rider saga to the actress.

“This was a magical moment. I told Josh I would like to play Ghost Rider. He found Kevin Feige, corners him, does an interview with him. When he says, ‘I would like this,’ all the lights go of,” he joked.
Blunt seemed taken aback by the revelation that Gosling would appear in a superhero movie, noting that she thought that they both wore avoiding the genre as a “badge of honor.”

“No, you do,” Gosling quipped.
Will Gosling Get His Wish?
When Horowitz asked if “any movement had happened” towards Gosling finally entering the MCU, the actor played coy.
“I don’t know,” he said.

While Ghost Rider appeared in a handful of episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the character has yet to make a formal MCU entrance. While Nicolas Cage has previously spoken about his openness to returning to the role, it is hard to see Marvel passing up on a chance to bring Gosling into the fold.

Hopefully, Gosling’s wishes will come to fruition and we will see the Barbie star don a leather jacket and play Ghost Rider in the MCU.
