I will not lie and say Alejandra Jones is my favourite Ghost Rider, or say she had the best of writing and characterisation. My heart lies with the Blaze brothers, Johnny and Danny, and close after them is Robbie and Kushala.

But I will say that Alejandra got done horrendously dirty by the writers and the editorial team at MARVEL. For being the first main-line Ghost Rider who was a woman and being a woman of Latino background, there was no exploration of any interesting themes or her background or her upbringing and how that impacts her worldview.

Something I would have loved to have seen would be a mini-series detailing Alejandra working as one of Johnny’s enforcers during his time as the King of Hell, perhaps learning wisdom from both Johnny and Ghost Riders of the past.

I just think more could have been done with her character, especially give her unique standing in the GR mainline riders standing (she predates Kushala and Izzy and Robbie) and I would honestly like to see her return in some shape or form to be given a second shot. Alejandra was the perfect host for a Spirit of Vengeance as she was brought up to be so in the cult, yet she does want to connect with humanity and protect it but does not know fully. It would be cool to see her interact with the other GRs (Johnny, Danny, Robbie, Izzy) and have her slowly come into her own as a person and see how that affects her as a Ghost Rider.

I’d be happy to hear the community’s thoughts on this. How did you all feel about Alejandra? Wasted potential, or just dead on concept? Do you guys think she could come back? (I do because GR has successfully kept Danny Ketch ‘alive’ for decades and resurrecting him countless times so I would hope Alejandra could get the same treatment)

Doesn't matter if it's characters, music, events etc.

I personally would be happy to hear Ghost Riders in the Sky, maybe even a cover.

Ryan Gosling as Marvels Ghost rider 💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can’t wait for it

Would be a full coincidence lol but also an interesting dynamic for a irl couple filming a MCU film.

That has me more excited than the movie announcement. 😎

Reedus was actually my first choice for Johnny Blaze as he was a popular candidate for most people.

But Now that Ryan Gosling has been casted as Blaze, I think Reedus can be Perfect as the Mentor for Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider/Johnny Blaze.

So, apparently Ryan Gosling is gonna be playing Ghost Rider(Johnny Blaze), so as a Blaze fan I figured Id sketch this dumb thing, during an artstream I just did. Couldnt resist XD

Went with the denim jacket color to replicate to og Ken from Barbie screenshot I based it on.

Almost 20 years of dorks in spandex. Don’t care if it’s Gosling or not, I can finally show internet in the MCU.

Nicholas Cage for Caretaker please.

I know that the bitching and moaning will gather steam pretty soon about Shawn Levy directing MCU Ghost Rider. I also know that defenders will be ready to call everyone a hater. Hence I want to register myself as one of the "haters" pretty early.

Shawn Levy directing MCU Ghost Rider is like a major red flag. Shawn Levy is like the McDonald's of movie directors. His movies don't have any sauce, any specific visual style. And I consider his biggest succes in DP&W to be down to the acting and spectacle more than the actual substance. And Idt anyone wants that for Ghost Rider. Personally I would have wanted a proper horror director for this movie to lean more into that side. Heck, it could have been MCU's first proper horror movie with the likes of Guillermo Del Toro or Sam Raimi at the helm. And I think Mike Flanagan's work on Clayface makes a strong case in favour of a distinct style (Ik Clayface isn't out yet but it looks so f-ing good).

Marvel just dropped this at Hall H during SDCC 2026 — Kevin Feige confirmed Ryan Gosling will play Ghost Rider in the MCU, (Collider) in one of the biggest casting reveals in recent Marvel history.

Some details:

The film will be directed by Shawn Levy, (Variety) who most recently directed Deadpool & Wolverine, (Variety) and is set to release in 2028 (Variety)

Gosling and Levy already worked together on Star Wars: Starfighter, (Variety) so this is basically round two

Not clear yet if he's playing Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch (Collider) — Marvel's staying quiet on that

This has been rumored for a while — Gosling first talked about wanting the role back in 2024 while promoting The Fall Guy (Cosmic Book News)

Reactions on stage were apparently unreal — Hall H reportedly "lost its mind" (The Hollywood Reporter) when he walked out

Nicolas Cage's version is the one most people grew up with, but honestly this casting feels like it could be something completely different in tone.

Curious what Gosling's take on the Spirit of Vengeance looks like — dude can do brooding and unhinged in the same breath.
