Ryan Gosling has been cast as Ghost Rider in a new Marvel Studios standalone movie, announced by Marvel chief Kevin Feige during a Comic-Con panel in San Diego. The film, directed by Shawn Levy, is scheduled for release in 2028. All three reports agree on these core facts.
However, the outlets differ in focus. Deadline emphasizes Gosling's career trajectory, noting his three Oscar nominations and early start on Disney Channel's "The All New Mickey Mouse" at age 13. It also highlights his reunion with Levy after the upcoming "Star Wars: Starfighter." Variety leads with Gosling's role in "Project Hail Mary" and frames the casting as his long-awaited entry into the MCU. The Hollywood Reporter delivers the news concisely, without additional context on Gosling's past roles or projects.
Only Deadline reports that the movie is a reteaming with Levy after "Star Wars: Starfighter," providing a specific detail about their collaboration history. The reports agree on the announcement from Kevin Feige and the 2028 release date, with no factual conflicts.
