Marvel’s Spirit of Vengeance is finally riding into the MCU again. Fourteen years after Nicolas Cage last played the role, **Ryan Gosling** has been confirmed as the new **Ghost Rider**, and Marvel is treating it as one of Phase 7’s biggest supernatural bets.

## The Big Reveal at SDCC 2026

Marvel Studios confirmed the news at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, announcing Gosling in the title role with *Stranger Things* and *Free Guy* director Shawn Levy behind the camera. It’s their second collaboration with Gosling, following *Star Wars: Starfighter*, out in May 2027.

## Ghost Rider: Key Details

## Who Might Gosling Be Playing?

Marvel hasn’t confirmed which comic-book Ghost Rider Gosling will portray. Johnny Blaze and Robbie Reyes have already been done on screen by Cage and Gabriel Luna, so Danny Ketch — introduced in the comics in 1990 — is considered the most likely fresh pick, though Blaze or Reyes aren’t fully ruled out either.

Interestingly, reports suggest **Gosling himself pitched the project** to Marvel, with studio chief Kevin Feige reportedly sold on the idea within minutes of hearing it.

## Why This Matters for the MCU

With the Multiverse Saga wrapping up via *Avengers: Secret Wars* in December 2027, Ghost Rider could kickstart Marvel’s supernatural corner heading into its next era — potentially paving the way for Blade or even a long-rumored Midnight Sons team-up down the line.
