Ryan Gosling cast as Ghost Rider, Shawn Levy to direct
Ryan Gosling is... GHOST RIDER. It's official. The MCU movie will be directed by Shawn Levy.
Hopefully, a better film than the first might make these increase in value.
Finally free from the curse
A young goose playing Ghost Rider? (This only makes sense if you know who Goose Rider is.)
No Robbie Reyes. No Ticket.
Does Grace pee fire, question?
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes’ kids will have parents who starred in an OG Marvel movie AND it’s reboot. Respect.
Everyone is going to bitch and moan until they see the first trailer and an R rating.
The “Hey Girl” memes are going to be great
From the director of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, DATE NIGHT and FREE GUY, comes a new tale of unholy vengeance…
Oh wow, dude is ready to get his paycheck and retire
Getting Gosling as Ghost Rider at the cost of Levy directing has got to be god's perfect joke on all of us. This is like giving a Slipknot setlist for Taylor Swift to perform.
Ryan Gosling is batting like .800 on script selection over the last decade so yeah, i think this is a pretty good sign for Ghost Rider
so they’re gonna give him a jacket right
Ghost Rider's a heavily style over substance character anyway so a sub-par script can easily be papered over with on-point visuals.
Even if it's not great, it'll be interesting
What’s incredible is that he’s actually had an incredible career since The Notebook. Only five movies he’s acted in that have received sub-70% on RT out of 23 total films. That’s a pretty solid career!
Now to take a big sip of coffee and check that directors other movies
I’m hopeful that this bodes well for Star Wars: Starfighter if Disney is already giving Gosling and Levy the keys to another franchise.
If I can geek out for a sec. I'm a huge Ghost Rider fan. Johnny Blaze one of my all-time favorite Marvel characters and I've been waiting for him to finally make it to the MCU. The Nic Cage movies were.. Fine, I guess? I think Ryan Gosling is great casting though! 🔥💀⛓️🔥
Marvel typically does not miss on their casting. I firmly believe Ryan Gosling can deliver a good-great Ghost Rider
Ryan Gosling has proven to be such a dynamic actor that I'm excited too! Also, any time I see Ryan Gosling all I can think of is this:
Agree 100% ….. I’m really hopeful this is the 1st step to a midnight suns movie
Wouldn't mind him playing Danny Ketch, because I'm curious about this version of the Ghost Rider, but I'm happy regardless as well. 😀
If I had a nickel for every time an actor was both a marvel character and played Ken in the Barbie movie, id have two nickels, which isn’t much but it’s pretty cool! All seriousness though I am really excited not only for the casting but for getting a new Ghost Rider movie
I liked the first film, not so much the 2nd one.
1. People mad Ghost Rider is being directed by a journeyman director like Shawn Levy instead of someone more exciting. 2. People mad that Ryan Coogler is doing another Black Panther, because he's a generational talent they feel is lowering himself to work on these. Welcome to MCU Discourse! 😂
I, for one, am more than happy to see what they deliver! I love the MCU, and the only thing I DON'T like is how we never really get to talk about the movies themselves, anymore. It's only every complaining about the real-life BTS crap and whatnot.
I’ve found that it’s honestly pointless to engage with people about Marvel right now, because it’s the middle of a backlash and everyone is looking for a justification for their feelings instead of just letting them be feelings.
"generational talent they feel is lowering himself to work on these." Do people have amnesia? Did they forget that Cooper directed the first two Black Panther films?
Right? Amazing how people can hold two conflicting ideas in their head.
Yeah, well Shawn Levy has just one message for them...
Okay but wait this is a great project for Shawn
Kevin Feige reveals that Ryan Gosling approached him with a pitch to play Ghost Rider in the #MCU. “He’s a huge fan of the comics. He did come to us particularly with a specific vision based on some particular comics.” (via ComicBook)
Look- im gonna be honest- i was completely unfazed by that Ghost Rider announcement- 💀 Not that I was hoping or anything, but I really had thought Norman Reedus from being played in TWD, that he was gonna be casted 😅 I think im just tired of seeing Ryan Gosling lately but we'll see idk 🫠😂
It’s pretty cool when an actor feels so strongly about playing a character that they’re the ones who approached the studio with a directing choice and an idea for a story in mind. [glares over at Lucasfilm] It’s not too late to call Adam Driver and tell him you’ve reconsidered.
