Marvel fans have found a perfect Ghost Rider for the MCU, and we agree.
Whether it's in the world of comic books, TV and movies or animation, the Marvel universe is packed full of larger-than-life characters, regardless of whether they’re fighting for good or the forces of evil.
We’re now entering Phase Six of the MCU with its first movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, arriving next month, which will see the eater of worlds, Galactus, in glorious (and terrifying) live-action form. Oh and, of course, a new Fantastic Four family.
Phase Six of the MCU will then consist of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday and finally, Avengers: Secret Wars. As for Marvel’s seventh phase, much of that is speculative at this time.

However, many fans will be hoping to see the X-Men finally introduced into the MCU just before or during Phase Seven. What’s more, we’ll also be keeping our fingers crossed for the reintroduction of Ghost Rider.
Fans have long speculated who could be the new Ghost Rider in the MCU, with names such as Keanu Reeves and Norman Reedus thrown into the speculative hat. One other name not to forget is Gabriel Luna, who played the character in the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
As brought to our attention by ComicBook, another name that fans would love to see cast as Ghost Rider is Ryan Gosling, perhaps best known for his roles in Drive, Blade Runner 2049 and Barbie.
“I imagined this as a surprise Ghost Rider cameo in Avengers: Doomsday, and if I could cast him, Ryan Gosling would be my dream pick for the role in the next MCU phase,” reads an Instagram post from The Arman Official featuring some awesome fan art.
The post was met with a wave of impressed comments with kind words and fire emoji reactions.
“Amazing,” commented yugraphics00.
“Woah!! Damnnn,” replied elixter.
“Whoa, this looks fantastic,” said justbychris.
There’s no telling when the folks at Marvel and Disney will officially announce the next Ghost Rider, but when that happens, they won’t be short of suggestions.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released in cinemas on 25 July 2025.
