Ryan Gosling Joins Marvel as Ghost Rider

Ryan Gosling is leaving Barbieland behind and heading to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios officially announced that the actor is joining their superhero family. Drumroll, please...

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige joined Ryan on stage to reveal that Gosling will play Ghost Rider. The film will be directed by Shawn Levy and written by Jonathan Tropper — the same creative team behind the upcoming Star Wars film 'Starfighter'. It's set to hit theaters in 2028.

Interestingly, Ryan's wife Eva Mendes starred in the 2007 'Ghost Rider' film with Nicolas Cage, playing the love interest of the main character. Fans are now wondering if Eva might appear in the new version alongside her husband.
