Marvel Studios announced at Comic-Con International’s Hall H that Ryan Gosling will star as Ghost Rider in a theatrical film scheduled for 2028, with Shawn Levy directing. Marvel chief Kevin Feige introduced the casting to roughly 7,000 attendees and said Gosling approached Marvel with a specific vision based on particular comics. The character’s film rights recently reverted to Marvel after years at Sony; Ghost Rider previously starred in a 2007 Nicolas Cage film and a 2012 sequel but had not been integrated into the MCU. The project reunites Gosling with Levy following their collaboration on Star Wars: Starfighter. At the same Hall H presentation Feige also announced a re-release of the Russo Brothers’ 2019 Avengers: Endgame on September 25 with new footage tying into Avengers: Doomsday, set for December 18. Hall H appearances included Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, and many attendees waited over 24 hours to enter Marvel’s panel.
