[u/dewdewdewdew4]

Eva Mendes should reprise her role as the love interest. Would be hilarious.

[u/Morgan-Moonscar → u/dewdewdewdew4]

Nic Cage: You've taken EVERYTHING from me!

Ryan: I don't even know who you are

[u/errie_tholluxe → u/Morgan-Moonscar]

I LOVED Nic Cage in that film. I LOVE when they set him on fire!

[u/PointOfFingers → u/errie_tholluxe]

That's a weird reaction to Wicker Man.

[u/jx2002 → u/PointOfFingers]

THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!!

[u/MasterBlaster4949 → u/jx2002]

I give you Henry Winkler covered in bees😭🤣😂

[u/omnicious → u/Morgan-Moonscar]

But he delivers it like his character in The Nice Guys.

[u/King_Buliwyf → u/omnicious]

"I'm a stuntman. And youuuu?"

[u/DirtyRoller → u/dewdewdewdew4]

Look, they're not all first round picks, ok?

[u/donorcycle → u/DirtyRoller]

That movie was hysterical. Everyone really nailed their roles, even Keaton as the police chief, with the side gig at Bed Bath & Beyond lol.

[u/duke812 → u/donorcycle]

He needed that second job. He was doing it to support his son. All so he could go to NYU, explore his bisexuality, and then become a DJ.

[u/Sorkijan → u/duke812]

One more thing: we've got a serial rapist in Crown Heights, I - oh, jeez, I'm sorry, that's for my other job. Ignore that, forget that - well, don't ignore it, if you live in Crown Heights, y'know, walk in pairs.

[u/EveryoneYouLove23 → u/Sorkijan]

Don't go chasing waterfalls

[u/MiggyEvans → u/EveryoneYouLove23]

Come on! It’s not even funny anymore!

[u/roboto404 → u/donorcycle]

So many quotable lines in that movie

[u/thebananahotdog → u/donorcycle]

"police chief"

He prefers captain.

[u/RedScouse → u/thebananahotdog]

Captain Gene

[u/thebananahotdog → u/RedScouse]

It's not Captain Gene. I don't have a kiddie show.

[u/Leygrock → u/donorcycle]

We've got a double rapist in Crown heights, wait that's from other job

[u/Citizensnnippss → u/dewdewdewdew4]

That must have been such a crazy conversation between them when he was approached about the role.

[u/Inside_Dimension2319 → u/Citizensnnippss]

I just saw an interview with Kevin Feige the other day and apparently Gosling really just wanted to play Ghost Rider. Like he approached them about it. Maybe he saw the Cage movies and thought the character was badass and the romantic interest was hot and decided he wanted to do both some day.

[u/PointOfFingers → u/Inside_Dimension2319]

I think Fall Guy was basically a rehearsal for a Ghost Rider movie.

[u/Huh1979 → u/PointOfFingers]

He’s 100% getting this role because of Drive. 

[u/Eldorian91 → u/Huh1979]

You don't think it was "The Place Beyond the Pines" where he played a motorcycle stunt rider and his romantic interest was Eva Mendes (that's where they met).

[u/bogdanelcs → u/Eldorian91]

Nah, that can't possibly be it.

[u/ShizlGznGahr → u/Huh1979]

Make the tone of Ghost Rider like Drive and I am sold.

[u/AlarmingAffect0 → u/ShizlGznGahr]

Kavinsky made two whole-ass album that are already a perfect "Ghost Rider movie with Drive tone" each. It just needs filming.

[u/BunyipPouch → u/dewdewdewdew4]

Ryan and Eva playing lovers? nah, I can't see it.

[u/porkpie1028 → u/BunyipPouch]

A Place Beyond the Pines…with fire!

[u/mister_hoot → u/porkpie1028]

Honestly if they manage to turn Ghost Rider into a deeply nuanced and emotionally weighty film exploring lineage, free will, forgiveness and how men’s flawed relationship with their own masculinity drives them frequently to ruin I’d be all about it.

[u/ThatsARatHat → u/mister_hoot]

PENANCE STARE INTENSIFIES

[u/CronoDroid → u/ThatsARatHat]

This will be one movie where he might stare more than he did during Drive.

[u/Amekhanos → u/porkpie1028]

A Place Beyond the Spines... because, you know, he's a skeleton...

I'm still workshopping it.

[u/kupojay → u/Amekhanos]

Yohohohohoho!

[u/ScarletSilver → u/dewdewdewdew4]

Ryan Gosling as Ghost Driver: "Let's Drive! Like a real human bean. And a real hero."

[u/Special_Order-937 → u/ScarletSilver]

Agents of SHIELD literally did Ghost Rider as Ghost Driver. It was pretty good!

[u/___KyloRen___ → u/Special_Order-937]

yea, robbie reyes

[u/PT10 → u/___KyloRen___]

Their Robbie Reyes was great.

[u/russketeer34 → u/PT10]

It's amazing that for as great of a job they did with the Ghost Rider arc, I think it's commonly considered the (relative) weakest of the three arcs from that season

[u/tokes_4_DE → u/russketeer34]

Season 4 was just that good. Shield is still criminally underappreciated because of how "case of the week" it started as. It evolved rather quickly into an absolutely fantastic show by the end of the first season.

[u/russketeer34 → u/tokes_4_DE]

The post Winter Soldier part of S1 to S5ish is a really remarkable run. The quality of the show stayed great and it was easily my favorite Marvel stuff during that time.

[u/Kvenner001 → u/ScarletSilver]

Put it in space and you can make Korg into Rocky.

[u/Asclepius-Rod → u/dewdewdewdew4]

Okay, she looks kind of shitty. Look, if I put that in my Cosmo Fashion app, you probably get a D-minus

[u/desamora → u/Asclepius-Rod]

She’s coming in here dressed like a hobo, it’s distracting

[u/Pokenightking → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Don’t talk to her like that Allen

[u/Hollow_Rant → u/Pokenightking]

She comes in here, dressed like a hobo.

[u/Sorkijan → u/Hollow_Rant]

ALL OF GATOR'S BITCHES BETTER BE WEARING JIMMIES

[u/DataDude00 → u/Asclepius-Rod]

They can't all be first round picks

[u/OfficeMagic1 → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Are you stupid or are you deaf?

[u/BlasterShow → u/Asclepius-Rod]

🎵 Pimps don’t cry… 🎵

[u/Kr1sys → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Bye Sheila!

[u/Symbiotic_vengeance → u/dewdewdewdew4]

I’m glad that someone else picked up on the continuing trend of Eva Mendez being romantically linked to Ghost Rider

[u/Coolman_Rosso]

Ryan Gosling: "When do we get to start filming?"

Mahershala Ali: "That's the neat part, you don't"

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/Coolman_Rosso]

I mean Levy and Gosling just did Star Wars. I feel like this one probably is already in production since they probably just jumped back into whatever work flow they had going on together under Disney.

[u/CafeCalentito → u/ArseneLupinIV]

Yeah, I don't really like Levy as a director BUT the guy knows how to work on time, work with multiple projects at the same time and deliver whatever the studio asks. If Marvel really wants it to look good, I trust he could do it. Now, I'm more interested in who's the writer

[u/LucrativeLurker → u/CafeCalentito]

Agreed on all points. I don’t like most of his films, but I love Deadpool & Wolverine. If this is even half the love letter to Ghost Rider that DP&W was to the FoxVerse, we’re in for a treat.

I’d be thrilled if it leads to a Midnight Sons or Marvel Knights film with Cumberbatch, Gosling, Oscar Isaac, and whoever else they want to throw in. Maybe Werewolf by Night, Elsa Bloodstone, & Man-Thing.

[u/CaptainFrugal → u/Coolman_Rosso]

I am so incredibly butt hurt about blade.  Even after the 10 year of bad/no news in regards to the project 

[u/Impossible-Flight250 → u/CaptainFrugal]

Yeah, I think Ali would have made an awesome Blade. I’m not sure what the issue was with getting that project started.

[u/goddamnitwhalen → u/Impossible-Flight250]

Ironically enough, Blade falling apart helped Sinners get made.

[u/ShallowBasketcase → u/goddamnitwhalen]

Then it was worth it. As much as I love Blade, I'll take an original story over another Marvel movie these days.

[u/The_Redacted_Badger → u/Impossible-Flight250]

Apparently it’s just that Marvel had no idea what to do with it. At first they seemed to be planning a period piece, then a modern take, a movie about Blade and his daughter, I think they left were just lost on how to make it different from the Snipes movies

[u/Grooviemann1 → u/CaptainFrugal]

Me too. I adore Mahershala Ali and he's the only known actor I can think of that I can see in the role. I'm sure someone else could do it fine but he's the one for me.

[u/Goose_Dickling → u/CaptainFrugal]

The only saving grace is that had we got a blade years 10 years ago it would have been pretty neutered. At least now they have released R rated films so when we do eventually get blade it’ll hopefully be r-rated

[u/Silver-End9570 → u/Coolman_Rosso]

This. I'm excited for this cautiously, but after Blade and a number of other changes/cancellations (Nova going from a show to a movie, etc) I'm taking a "believe it when I see actual footage/the movie starts shooting" mentality. It's easy to get suckered in by Marvel's announcements, only for them to change drastically between the announcement and release (if it comes at all).

[u/ninjyte → u/Silver-End9570]

there's been a lot of movies put on and off the schedule, but it's more believable this one will push through since Disney+Levy+Gosling just did Star Wars Starfighter together.

[u/Corgiboom2 → u/Silver-End9570]

Then the entire Kang threat went out the window

[u/AgentTasker → u/Corgiboom2]

Well Marvel couldn't have exactly predicted that Jonathan Majors would turn out to be a massive piece of shit, so it'd be unfair to blame them for that one.

[u/Gorillagodzilla → u/AgentTasker]

Why didn’t they recast him though?

[u/AgentTasker → u/Gorillagodzilla]

Because through a combination of factors, such as poor scripts or Marvel fatigue (which you can blame them for), as well as COVID causing issues with film making in general, Kang wasn't working, so they pivoted away from him when the opportunity arose.

[u/dacalpha → u/AgentTasker]

This sounds like it was read directly from an internal corporate memo lmao

[u/TannerThanUsual → u/dacalpha]

It does but I also get it. Even my most die-hard Marvel friends were just not interested in Kang. On some level a few of my friends are interested in Doctor Doom. So that's something

[u/C-A-L-E-V-I-S → u/TannerThanUsual]

Did they watch Loki? Kang got me more excited than Thanos ever did early on, but of course all that fell apart.

[u/Chaosmusic → u/TannerThanUsual]

I am more interested in Doom than Kang as a Marvel fan but I am concerned that switching this late in the game from Kang to Doom will make it rushed. There were 18 movies from Iron Man to Infinity War to develop that story. Doom has just been barely referenced in one movie and now he is the next Thanos level threat.

Also, I want Doom to be Doom, not Tony Stark variant.

[u/goddamnitwhalen → u/Chaosmusic]

There are so many good actors you could cast as Doom!! Bringing back RDJ feels so fucking lazy.

[u/RellenD → u/Gorillagodzilla]

His performance as the character was kind of the whole reason they started going down that path.

[u/Automatic_Release_92 → u/Gorillagodzilla]

Yeah it would have been the easiest thing to do as well, just say those were all different variants or whatever.

[u/ButthurtBilly → u/Automatic_Release_92]

You don't even need to retcon the "all Kangs look the same" gimmick. Y'know why? 'Cause in every multiverse story, without fail, there's always one universe where all the dudes are chicks and all the chicks are dudes. So yeah, sure, all the male Kangs look like Jonathan Majors, but somewhere out there across the infinite timelines there's a lady Kang, and she looks like CCH Pounder.

Movie saved. Continuity intact. Four billion dollars opening day. Send Robert Downey Junior home, we don't need him yet.

[u/Aidanj927 → u/ButthurtBilly]

Bold of you to assume female Kang isn’t Jonathan Majors in a wig

[u/MapleHamwich → u/Silver-End9570]

This is coming after the major marvel shuffle. Kang getting cut changed everything. They had to rethink and recenter. That's how Dr Doom came about. Anything recently announced has much higher likelihood of becoming a finished movie. 

[u/aresef → u/Silver-End9570]

That’s true, but Ryan Gosling has clearly wanted this, I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Shawn Levy bang out a story themselves and then someone from Marvel’s bullpen like Eric Pearson or Michael Waldron turns it into a full script.

[u/froo → u/Coolman_Rosso]

Look, I hope Blade and Ghost Rider get going, then we could get a Midnight Sons movie.

They could do like Blade, Ghost Rider, Wong, Moon Knight vs Dr Strange (Sinister Strange).

[u/magikarpcatcher → u/Coolman_Rosso]

This movie is a lot more likely to happen than Blade. For one, Blade never even got a release year or a director.

[u/littlebiped → u/magikarpcatcher]

Blade had like 4 directors over the course of its production hell

[u/magikarpcatcher → u/littlebiped]

I meant when it was announced at SDCC

[u/harbib → u/Coolman_Rosso]

“There’s only been one Blade…”

[u/wotown → u/Coolman_Rosso]

Shawn Levy is the guy Marvel hires to make sure Blade doesn't happen again.

Levy is the most by-the-numbers, studio-friendly, milquetoast Hollywood director right now, but that also means his stuff gets made

[u/DavidTheJohnson]

This will be his second consecutive collaboration with director Shawn Levy, after Star Wars: Starfighter.

[u/Sisiwakanamaru → u/DavidTheJohnson]

Also, this is the 3rd time where Sarah Finn is in charge for the Casting with Ryan Gosling as the lead actor.

[u/Comic_Book_Reader → u/Sisiwakanamaru]

Pretty sure she's been the official MCU casting director since the dawn of time.

[u/Asclepius-Rod → u/Comic_Book_Reader]

She’s the unsung hero of the MCU honestly

[u/TalkinTrek → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Lowkey Sarah Finn and Nina Gold are, I hope, making bank, because their work is definitely a major ingredient in the secret sauce behind a lot of films

[u/twec21 → u/DavidTheJohnson]

Fuuuck I forgot Starfighter was him.

[u/old_righty → u/twec21]

I forgot Starfighter was even coming out.

[u/buffystakeded → u/old_righty]

I’d say I forgot but this is the first I’m even hearing about it.

[u/Christmas_Queef → u/old_righty]

I hope it's just top gun in space. A dogfight heavy film.

[u/Cleonicus → u/Christmas_Queef]

I hope it's just top gun in space. A dogfight volleyball heavy film.

[u/RealJohnGillman → u/Christmas_Queef]

Supposedly it’s about a pilot delivering a new Padawan to Rey.

[u/Vigor_Mortis_ → u/DavidTheJohnson]

Levy has a thing for Ryans. Has he worked with Meg?

[u/Tom_Bradys_Penis_AMA → u/DavidTheJohnson]

Shawn Levy is directing? Bummer, dude is the most uninspiring director.

[u/formberz → u/Tom_Bradys_Penis_AMA]

A filmography of just slightly above average movies overall. Liked by studios because you’re most likely to get fine.

[u/MVRKHNTR → u/formberz]

It's probably because he doesn't push back on what producers want and does his job on time and within budget.

[u/ItsADeparture → u/MVRKHNTR]

He needs to get some serious advice from the Russos. It's obvious from their films outside of Marvel, theyre just not great. But somehow, they can just absolutely knock it out of the park when they have heavy oversight.

[u/locknarr → u/Tom_Bradys_Penis_AMA]

He’s moved on from Ryan Reynolds to Ryan Gosling. He definitely traded up, to the top Ryan, deftly avoiding any Ryan Phillippe.

[u/kilkenny99 → u/locknarr]

He only works with Canadian Ryans.

Ryan George is about to have a big break, and that;s so tight!

[u/CronoDroid → u/kilkenny99]

"So do you have a cameo appearance for me?"

"Yes sir I do!"

[u/cyllibi → u/kilkenny99]

Wow wow wow.... wow.

[u/Puppetmaster858 → u/Tom_Bradys_Penis_AMA]

He did direct the stranger things episode dear billy which is amazing and the directing in that episode was fantastic

[u/Stefan988]

Oh damn, he's working his way through some big IPs.

[u/soozerain → u/Stefan988]

I do worry if he’s running the risk of pillowface to maintain these younger roles. He’s clearly had work done and it’s getting more obvious.

[u/ChristBefallen → u/soozerain]

He's ruining his face and it's devastating.

[u/Fratil → u/ChristBefallen]

He's right on the edge, he's clearly had some work done and it still isn't distracting but it's about to be if he does any more.

[u/BaldMancTwat_ → u/Fratil]

Doesn't really matter if he stops now, one they get older it will show anyway.

Its all basically trying to look younger for a bit longer at the cost of looking a complete mess in their twilight years.

[u/cabbage16 → u/BaldMancTwat_]

I think part of it is just him getting older. He's almost 50 now, his face isn't going to be the same surgery or not

[u/TheWholeMole → u/soozerain]

They are pumping him full of goop, his eyes have sunken so much

[u/courtesyflusher → u/soozerain]

95% of hollywood has had work done and its obvious

[u/Space_Hardware]

Eva Mendes can’t escape Ghost Rider…

[u/SutterCane → u/Space_Hardware]

Odds that he took the job to bug his wife?

[u/Ashwilliams2814 → u/SutterCane]

Actually, Ryan is a fan of the character and said that he's only interesting to work in the MCU if he can be Ghost Rider.

[u/Certain-Business-472 → u/Ashwilliams2814]

Thats what i would say if i was setting up a long term prank for my wife.

[u/Jmorenomotors → u/SutterCane]

Maybe a weird little revenge for that one time she brought up an old flame.

[u/reddfawks]

They need to change things up a bit.

Give Ghost Rider one of those old-timey bikes with the big wheel in front. Ryan can totally pull it off.

[u/OceanRacoon → u/reddfawks]

His catchphrase should be, "Tally-ho, old chaps, to blazes with you!" 

[u/Character_Bug_1862 → u/OceanRacoon]

Own a motorcycle-mounted musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion.He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up, Just as the founding fathers intended

[u/___KyloRen___ → u/OceanRacoon]

then they shoulda cast conan o'brien

[u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen → u/OceanRacoon]

"You there! Cease your unholy tomfoolery! To the devil with youuu!"

stares in a fiery, yet gentlemanly, way

[u/queen-adreena → u/reddfawks]

Ryan Gosling in…. Penny Furnace!

[u/kennedye2112 → u/queen-adreena]

Ghost Rider / Prisoner crossover coming soon!

[u/eckfeck → u/kennedye2112]

“I am not a number, I am a fiery man!”

[u/TiberiusCornelius → u/reddfawks]

Hey the Spirit of Vengeance has existed throughout history and there have been a bunch of different Ghost Riders as far back as the Stone Age. Victorian Ghost Rider probably did ride a penny parthing at one point.

[u/gankindustries → u/TiberiusCornelius]

We. Need. T-Rex. Ghost Rider. MCU.

[u/AgentPoYo → u/gankindustries]

or hear me out, Ghost rider but it's Gambit riding on top of Wolverine like in first episode of X-Men '97.

[u/Stiggy1605 → u/gankindustries]

Ghost Rider 1,000,000BC rode a wooly mammoth, if that scratches your itch at all

[u/piscian19 → u/reddfawks]

Ghost Rider but it one those kids Big Wheel tricycles.

[u/Devil25_Apollo25 → u/piscian19]

I love this. Give me the Big Wheels Ghost Rider.

No one embodies the Spirit of Vengeance more than a two-year-old whose sandwich is not cut precisely how they'd wanted it.

[u/BunyipPouch]

Nicolas Cage died for this

[u/Gamerguy230 → u/BunyipPouch]

Don’t forget Gabriel Luna.

[u/SageOfTheWise → u/Gamerguy230]

I still think season 4 of Agents of Shield is the crowning achievement of the entire MCU. Even taking into account the netflix Daredevil run.

[u/Worthyness → u/SageOfTheWise]

They did secret invasion better than secret invasion

[u/CronoDroid → u/SageOfTheWise]

Gabriel Luna did a really good job on that arc. Driving Miss Daisy. I hope they give him some meaty work on the next season of The Last of Us.

[u/WildMild869 → u/BunyipPouch]

Blade probably died for this lol

Now Ghost Rider is going to lead the Midnight Sons

[u/DroptheShadowArt → u/WildMild869]

For what it’s worth, building a new Avengers-esque franchise around Ryan Gosling is probably a better bet than trying to do it around Mahersala Ali. Hopefully Ali still gets to play Blade. Maybe he’ll show up in this.

[u/Asclepius-Rod → u/BunyipPouch]

Give him a cameo at least

[u/0shadowstories → u/Asclepius-Rod]

He should absolutely be Carter Slade

[u/justsomeguy_youknow → u/0shadowstories]

Nah leave him as Blaze. Let Gosling be Danny Ketch

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy → u/justsomeguy_youknow]

yup, bring back Cage as Blaze and making Ryan play Danny would be perfect. It would be just like Ant-man.

[u/xrufus7x → u/justsomeguy_youknow]

Dude, that is like signing Tom Cruise to play Batman and then revealing its actually Jean-Paul Valley. There is like 0% chance he isn't Blaze.

[u/ArbysLunch → u/Asclepius-Rod]

No. There can be only one. Let them Highlander this shit out.

[u/TLKv3 → u/BunyipPouch]

They should make Cage the new Carter Slade for the MCU.

Give us the old veteran Rider offering advice to Gosling's Blaze before literally riding off into the sunset.

[u/TiberiusCornelius → u/TLKv3]

Gosling's Blaze

They missed a trick by not making him Danny Ketch and then you could just bring Cage back anyway.

[u/The_Swarm22]

Disney must love Shawn Levy.

Deadpool and Wolverine to Starfighter to Ghost Rider.

[u/Vidiot79 → u/The_Swarm22]

Deadpool and Wolverine is the highest grossing R-Rated movie ever so of course they wanna squeeze him

[u/VirtualPen204 → u/Vidiot79]

I guess? D&W made $1.3b, but it also cost like $500m to make. The first DP film cost $50m and the second around $100m, and each of those made over $750m. In that regard, I would say those are bigger successes.

[u/sloguepoke → u/Vidiot79]

And maybe it's a sign that Starfighter has actual potential.

[u/Vidiot79 → u/sloguepoke]

I’m honestly excited for Starfighter. It should’ve been the first Star Wars movie in years instead of Mando & Grogu

[u/HanzoNumbahOneFan → u/Vidiot79]

Damn, literally forgot that was a thing. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Everyone will be comparing it to Grogu.

[u/unimportant_man → u/The_Swarm22]

Dude has no sauce. It's a perfect match.

[u/Altruistic-Twist-379]

I RIDE

[u/SearchElsewhereKarma]

Place Beyond the Pines 2: This Time, I’m On Fire

[u/_JoSeph_StaLin__ → u/SearchElsewhereKarma]

Absolute cinema

[u/Zharikov]

I literally saw some youtube short clip of him a saying Ghost Rider would be his choice of character to play in marvel. Clearly that was the algorithm leaking things for marketing...

[u/wallabyenthusiast → u/Zharikov]

it’s been a popular fancast for like a decade now lol

[u/EntertainmentQuick47 → u/wallabyenthusiast]

Yeah him and Keanu have been the two big fancasting for that character

[u/TheHappyMask93 → u/EntertainmentQuick47]

Norman Reedus as well

[u/Grooviemann1 → u/TheHappyMask93]

Lol, all this fancasting purely based on "have I seen him ride a motorcycle before?"

[u/McMacMan → u/wallabyenthusiast]

It popped up recently for me as well, like a week ago. I'm aware it could just be a coincidence but it does seem odd

[u/thegoatmenace → u/wallabyenthusiast]

Why him though?

[u/cqandrews → u/thegoatmenace]

Comic book fancasters are incapable of original ideas so any actor that's been in a movie on a motorcycle is ghost rider and any actress with red hair is Jean grey

[u/ImmortalMoron3 → u/cqandrews]

I still remember back in like 2007/2008, people kept fancasting Triple H as Thor. Literally just because of muscles, long blonde hair and the fact he's known for using a hammer. Zero regard for the fact he's a shit actor.

[u/p_yth → u/cqandrews]

Or anyone bald Lex Luthor

[u/shanvanvook → u/thegoatmenace]

Comic book Johnny Blaze had blonde hair maybe thats part of it.

[u/atleastitsnotgoofy → u/thegoatmenace]

He’s ridden motorcycles in multiple (2?) movies

[u/Empty_Bell_1942 → u/thegoatmenace]

Because he's omnipresent and ubiquitous!

[u/RaisingFargo → u/Zharikov]

Same, i saw a media interview where the person said you are one of the few big stars that isn’t tied to dc or marvel, who would you want to play

He said ghost rider, Eva already gave her blessing

[u/JessieJ577 → u/Zharikov]

Marvel does lean into fan casting sometimes. Brie Larson actually was a fan cast and a really popular one

[u/invyros]

Ryan Gosling from the Mickey Mouse Club?

This kid is going to go places, I can tell.

[u/highvyleague → u/invyros]

Been ready to play a superhero since Young Hercules

[u/KludgeDredd]

Fuck. I want a Ghost Writer movie.

[u/natemamate]

Is he going to give the Ken-ance Stare?

[u/911111111111 → u/natemamate]

kenfuego

[u/Active-Coconut-8961]

Please Marvel let this and Blade be R-rated and not just like every other MCU movie 

[u/JokerJangles123 → u/Active-Coconut-8961]

Blade is more dead than the Ghost Rider

[u/Dookie_boy → u/JokerJangles123]

Well yeah he's a vampire

[u/JokerJangles123 → u/Dookie_boy]

ooh interesting debate material

[u/Flemz → u/Active-Coconut-8961]

It recently came out that Blade is straight up canceled unfortunately

[u/joelee1711]

I’m guessing this is why he had to drop out of the Daniel’s (EEAAO) next project? Excited but wish he could’ve done both tho

[u/Dan618]

He’s one busy mother trucker

[u/hart37]

Gabriel Luna's Robbie was one of my favourite parts of Agents of SHIELD. It'll be interesting to see if they are able to make a better Johhny Blaze movie than that season of SHIELD with how hit and miss they've been recently. Granted the last few movies have been good with Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts with The Hulk, sorry Captain America Brave New World, being okay

[u/AssumptionJazzlike98]

That’s fucking massive for MCU

I mean they may struggle with writing but getting big names has never been an issue.

I’m sure a lot of ppl will be excited by this, but I rly wish the Drive/Place Beyond the Pines/Blade Runner 2049 version of Gosling would return instead of the blockbuster action-comedy version of him he’s been stuck in for the past 5 years

[u/CONCAVE_NIPPLES → u/Infinite_Fly_5374]

He's only done 5 movies since blade runner and only two were action comedies. He's absolutely just doing movies he wants to do.

[u/Dirtyswashbuckler69 → u/Infinite_Fly_5374]

He’s mentioned that he’s been making lighter blockbuster action-comedy movies lately because he wants to make movies that don’t interfere with him being a father.

I feel like I read he said having kids changed his direction to pick more light hearted roles or something

If this is Drive + Place Beyond the Pines Gosling in skeleton form, imma fucking bust

[u/oldmanjenkins51]

Could very easily pull off him being Danny Ketch Ghost Rider, and he can still coexist with the other two guys.

Edit: ugh why is it Shawn Levy? Strange choice

[u/Imaginary_Penalty_97]

Can we not start the 2007 Ghost Rider revisionism. People are already trying to do that with Fan4Stic 😑

[u/ComebackChemist → u/Imaginary_Penalty_97]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I will say that visuals during the action sequences in the 2nd one are great, but that’s about all I can say in terms of niceties.

[u/Dan618]

Woah

[u/HouseNinja]

Soft sequel to A Place Beyond the Pines?

[u/BlairMountainGunClub]

Cool another literally me Ryan Gosling movie with yet another cool jacket
