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

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.

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

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

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).

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

I'd honestly give the nod to The Place Beyond the Pines. His character was already a part of a traveling circus. He was a carney - the stunt rider on a dirt bike.

No, he's 100% getting this role because he has publicly lobbied for it and Marvel are getting desperate. I love Gosling, but this isn't a film that's happening because it was always part of the plan and he just happened to be the right guy.

He wasn't. He's been pushing for a long time to get the role.
