The actor had manifested the role and had also almost received Kevin Feige’s endorsement.
Ryan Gosling has long been rumored to have secured a part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though the Barbie star has often dismissed the rumors, he has expressed his desire to play Ghost Rider in the MCU. Nicolas Cage previously played the role in Sony’s Ghost Rider films. Now, the iconic character is expected to make his MCU debut.
While Gosling was long rumored to have been cast as Nova in the MCU, an industry insider recently revealed that Gosling has been cast as Ghost Rider in an upcoming Ghost Rider and The Midnight Sons film. Gosling is set to play the Johnny Blaze iteration of the character. However, fans are not that happy with the casting.
Are Marvel Fans On Board With Ryan Gosling As Ghost Rider?
Ghost Rider has already made his appearance once in the MCU on the TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The show saw Robert Reyes’ iteration of Ghost Rider and the character made an appearance in multiple episodes of the show. However, the character has yet to make an appearance in the films. But, that might change now.
According to industry insider HollyField News, actor Ryan Gosling has been cast as Johnny Blaze in a new film that focuses on Ghost Rider and the group the Midnight Sons. The Midnight Sons consists of many occult characters of the MCU such as Blade, Doctor Strange, Morbius, and more. The announcement is set to be done at the D23 event.
However, not all Marvel fans are on board with Gosling as Ghost Rider. Many cited the actor’s last outing The Fall Guy’s box office bomb as the reason for his casting to be a bad idea. Others preferred Gabriel Luna’s portrayal of Reyes in the TV show to return.
Johnny Blaze will make his debut in GHOST RIDER & THE MIDNIGHT SONS film , he will also be lead of the project. Played by a very popular actor.

Worst Idea since The Acolyte.

I wonder, because there is news that Blade will connect directly to Midnight Sons, so if Blade is late, how can Midnight Sons be on schedule, will it also be late?

While nothing has been confirmed yet, Ryan Gosling’s inclusion in the MCU has not been received with as much fanfare as expected.
Ryan Gosling Had Expressed His Desire To Play Ghost Rider
Ryan Gosling had long been rumored to have been cast in the MCU as Nova, the superhuman member of the Nova Corps, which was introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol.2. However, Gosling had disregarded these rumors and mentioned that he always wanted to play Ghost Rider and he hoped that it would happen.
The idea almost got Marvel President Kevin Feige’s endorsement too as he told Josh Horwitz of MTV News that he would love for Gosling to be a part of the MCU
Hey man, if Ryan wants to be Ghost Rider…Gosling’s unbelievable. Ryan is amazing…I’d love to find a place for him in the MCU. He’s dressed up as Ken on Venice Beach and gets more press than giant movies coming out that weekend. It’s amazing.
Though Feige is aware of Gosling’s wish, the Barbie star mentioned that there have been no new developments when he was promoting his action film The Fall Guy (via Josh Horowitz).
