Connor Storrie Eyes Ghost Rider’s Villain Role, and Ryan Gosling Might Be His Hero

Just when you thought Marvel’s casting board was full, a surprise name has shown up. Connor Storrie, who became a fan favourite through Heated Rivalry, is reportedly in talks to join the MCU’s upcoming Ghost Rider film. It’s a big leap, and it would put him face to face with Ryan Gosling.

The Buzz in a Nutshell

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Storrie is being considered for the villain. Gosling is expected to play Johnny Blaze, the stunt rider who sells his soul and becomes the flaming-skulled anti-hero. Marvel hasn’t named Storrie’s character, and nothing is official yet, so treat this as a strong rumour for now.

From Hockey Romance to Hellfire

Storrie’s rise has been quick. Before Heated Rivalry made him a household name, he appeared in Joker: Folie à Deux as the inmate who attacks Arthur Fleck, a character hinted to become the “real Joker.” So he has played menacing before, and a Marvel antagonist could suit him well.

Why Fans Are Excited?

Shawn Levy knows how to mix humour and heart in a Marvel film, as he showed with Deadpool & Wolverine. He is also working with Gosling on Star Wars: Starfighter. Add Linus Sandgren’s cinematography, and the film could look as striking as it sounds. Marvel confirmed Ghost Rider at San Diego Comic-Con this summer, and things seem to be moving fast.
