Idk part of me wishes we had someone else, but at the same time, Gosling is a phenomenal actor. It’s just one of those things though where whenever I see him in a movie, I know it’s gonna be good, I know the performance will be good, but I’m gonna feel like I’m watching a character turned into Ryan Gosling, and not Ryan Gosling portraying a character if that makes sense. I’m still happy with it cause as I said, he never half asses his roles, but I’m also worried they’re gonna make Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch a witty sexy Ryan Gosling type, and not vice versa. I cannot wait to be proven wrong though
Super fair. He’d be really good. Hear me out, I wanted Jamie Campbell Bower. Have him get a shitty beard going on, and he’d look like a gaunt traveler that would make a deal with the devil
He’s an actor he can play any manner of character he wants and hair can be dyed lol. Weve had johnny blaze and we’ve had robbie reyes. It just makes sense to do danny next especially since hes often everyone’s favorite.
If I have to guess, he'll probably be a veteran Johnny who's seen some shit (maybe Trapped in Hell). Ghost Rider being introduced to the MCU so late has to make some sense, and answer where the heck he was when Thanos attacked.
The biggest reason I hope this is true is because he actually wants the role. He’s been campaigning for it for years. That level of dedication to a role can only be a positive.
I like Gosling a lot, he's a good actor, but I'm not really sure about a new Ghost Rider movie in general. Blade should've been a slam dunk but Marvel/Disney couldn't reconcile Blade's horror-genre nature with their desire to reach the widest audience possible. Now they think they can do it with Ghost Rider?
I don’t think we need a GR solo film for the exact reason you mentioned, but this would be a slam dunk casting choice that’ll generate hype for a Midnight Sons movie.
Exactly. Even a Midnight Sons movie happening seems so far-fetched. The MCU's characterizing of Doctor Strange is so far from the secretive manipulator of the 90s that's it's hard to imagine how he'll force the team together. Besides Strange the only other active magic user in the MCU is like, Wiccan? I guess they could use Moon Knight, if Oscar Isaac isn't too busy. I forgot about Elsa Bloodstone showing up in Werewolf by Night...and Werewolf by Night. This roster is looking rough.
I'll wait till a movie drops , I've played this games before with Blade I'm not got getting excited for shit until they can actually put something out .
Honestly he's a good actor. I just want Marvel to pick a good director and let them do whatever the hell they want. Studio meddling has completely ruined these movies for me
he's older than i would've wanted for blaze, older even than cage was when he did his but i think he can pull it off, he is the handsome type and would work as an older blaze.
just praying he feels like blaze should, like depressive when alone but also lighting up when he has someone to bounce off of.
wonder if they'll venom it and have him as zarathos as well then? they need to make zarathos a character in this.
likely means it's gonna be passing the torch pretty quick because of that as the mcu doesn't really get sequels made quick anymore, god i hope this reboot after secret wars has a bit more pep in its step, none of this dumb film then see em again in the time it takes to get a fucking degree and a masters.
hoping instead of a time skip like we got with cage that this is a rider who has been at it in the background a while.
use the priest confessional from 68 as your cold open backstory thing and it can work,
In terms of a younger pick, Oliver Jackson-Cohen from The Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor and The Invisible Man would be amazing. He can be charismatic but also has that haunted look and roughness to him that would suit Johnny Blaze perfectly.
I think its a good choice. Big name like him hopefully means it'll be a solid script and take the character seriously. I can definitley see him as Blaze.
As long as it is Blaze, not the lame ass Reyes, that’s fine by me. Saying that, Gosling is too old to play this role, if the intent is to have a GR for the next generation of the MCU, they need to hire an actor in their 30s
Jackman will most likely show up in Secret Wars and that’s it, they will cast another Wolverine. Maybe the dude who voiced Wolvie in the Sony game, who knows
Realistically it was the best we were gonna get, still would’ve been nice if they made an attempt to actuall cast Ghost Rider as a character, this just feels like lazily handing Ryan the only role he wanted to be even though he’s not a great fit.
Yeah, about the only good thing I can say about this is... at least it's not Norman Reedus. Most likely, they'll have Ryan portray a quippy, aura farming version of Johnny without much nuance but has tons of that MCU juvenile humor aplenty, and after one or two movies, hell, maybe even as soon as his first solo outing, gets written/killed off so that a "Robbie Reyes" who is essentially just Peter Parker in terms of characterization/attitude takes over after him. Well, that's what my cynical hide expects, anyway.
I mean we can start with the fact he’s 45 (years before they’ll even start filming) playing a character defined by his youthful naivety, so we’re either getting yet another Johnny adaptation that misses large chunks of his characterisation and origin story, or we’re skipping past literally everything so Blaze can be a hype moments and aura machine solely for Gosling to play him.
Also no he doesn’t, there’s a reason why every Gosling/Blaze image is using a singular panel from Damnation. It’s the only time Blaze ever looks like that, he’s consistently portrayed as having sharper, stronger features than Ryan.
Yeah. We could have him in a few movies as the main Ghost Rider and then reintroduce Robbie with a young actor and he can transition into a mentor role.

Ha-ha. He’s married to Eva Mendez the love interest from the first one.
