Marvel Studios officially cast Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider in the MCU for a standalone film directed by Shawn Levy, announced at San Diego Comic-Con with a 2028 release window. Gosling’s collaboration with Levy, after Star Wars: Starfighter, is highlighted as a key prelude to the project. Kevin Feige confirmed Gosling’s involvement and indicated the actor approached Marvel with a comics-inspired vision, though it is not yet clear which Ghost Rider version he will portray. The film is positioned as a high-profile addition to the MCU. Production is expected to begin after Gosling and Levy complete other projects.
