New Rumor Claims That Ryan Gosling's GHOST RIDER May Be Introduced Sooner Than We Thought

One of the biggest announcements out of Marvel’s Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con this summer was the one that fans are finally getting Ghost Rider in the MCU. This was also a dream come true for Ryan Gosling, who has been given the starring role that he has been petitioning for, for years now.

Marvel Pres. Kevin Feige revealed that director Shawn Levy will lead the film, and it’s set to be released in 2028, but a new rumor claims we may see Gosling in the role sooner than that.

According to industry insider Jeff Sneider (via CB) Gosling’s Ghost Rider will appear in next year’s Avengers: Secret Wars before headlining his own movie.

David Jonsson, the actor announced at Comic-Con to be taking over as T’Challa’s son, the new Black Panther, is also rumored to be making his debut in Secret Wars ahead of Black Panther III.

But the film has not yet begun shooting (though it’s said to be under way very soon), and very little is known about its cast and story, as many things have yet to be revealed even for Avengers: Doomsday.

Stay tuned for updates as Marvel moves forward, and let us know what you think of Gosling as our new Ghost Rider.

Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18, 2026; Avengers: Secret Wars hits on December 17, 2027; Ghost Rider is expected in 2028, with a rumored release date of July 28, 2028; and Black Panther 3 will be released in theaters on December 15, 2028.
