For years, Gosling has made it known that he would like to play Marvel's Ghost Rider, specifically, the Johnny Blaze version portrayed by a wild-eyed Nicolas Cage in 2007's "Ghost Rider" and "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" (a truly bewildering sequel that left folks stupefied upon its premiere at the 2011 Butt-Numb-A-Thon). According to The InSneider, the wheels are already spinning on "Ghost Rider" following its official unveiling at the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con. Notably, Eva Mendes (who, by pure coincidence, is married to Gosling) portrayed Blaze's news reporter ex-girlfriend Roxanne Simpson in 2007's "Ghost Rider." Regardless, the Oscar-nominated "Gone Girl" and "Saltburn" star (who actually made her feature film debut in 2002's James Bond flick "Die Another Day") is always a welcome presence. The demonic villain, who was brought to life by Peter Fonda in 2007's "Ghost Rider," previously, if somewhat quietly, made his long-awaited MCU debut in the Disney+ series "Ironheart," as it were.
