Exciting news has emerged from Marvel Studios: Ryan Gosling will be starring as Ghost Rider in a new MCU film, and fans now have a clear timeline for its release. The announcement was made during Marvel’s San Diego Comic-Con 2026 panel, catching fans by surprise. Gosling took the stage to personally introduce his new role, receiving a thunderous applause from the audience.
In addition to Gosling’s casting, Marvel revealed that the Ghost Rider movie is scheduled to hit theaters in 2028. The film will be directed by Shawn Levy, who is no stranger to the MCU or Gosling. Levy previously directed 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine and has worked with Gosling before, directing him in the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter.
This role marks another milestone in Gosling’s rising stardom. After his acclaimed performance as Ken in 2023’s Barbie, Gosling has continued to land high-profile projects, including The Fall Guy, the hit 2026 film Project Hail Mary, and the upcoming Star Wars installment.
Details about the new Ghost Rider film remain under wraps, including how it will integrate into the broader MCU storyline. The character was previously portrayed by Nicolas Cage in the 2007 and 2011 movies, but those films were outside the MCU continuity. Now, with Gosling stepping into the role, fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds.
