Ryan Gosling is set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ghost Rider, Marvel announced at the San Diego Comic-Con Sunday.
Introduction to Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider made his Marvel comic book debut in 1967 as the “world’s most mysterious Western hero” — the horse-riding alter ego of character Carter Slade. However, it was as the superhero identity of the character Johnny Blaze, in Marvel Spotlight issue 5 in 1972, that Ghost Rider really set fans’ hearts aflame.
Gosling will be directed by Shawn Levy, the director of his upcoming movie, “Star Wars: Starfighter.” Levy and Gosling had discussed Ghost Rider ideas while shooting “Star Wars: Starfighter” together last year.
