Ryan Gosling might have gotten his wish as it is claimed the actor has been cast as Marvel’s Ghost Rider in an upcoming movie involving the Midnight Sons.
Back in January while talking with Josh Horowitz, Ryan Gosling addressed the Nova rumors and said they weren’t true.
However, Horowitz revealed the one superhero Ryan Gosling really wants to play is Ghost Rider.

Make sure Ghost Rider is done right
Apparent talks with Marvel followed Ryan Gosling coming off the super popular and successful Barbie.
Assuming Kevin Feige really wants Gosling in the MCU, and Gosling only wants to play Ghost Rider, it seems possible Gosling could have landed the role.
That said, Gosling Fall Guy recently bombed big time at the box office.
If I’m Gosling I would also make sure Disney, Feige and Marvel don’t screw things up as they have with the past five years of the MCU.
The story needs to be good, and the special effects need to be spectacular (something Marvel is having major problems with as of late). The story also can’t be woke like Feige tried with Mahershala Ali’s Blade which is in development hell. Good luck, Ryan.
