Overview
- Nicolas Cage, who spoke Thursday, publicly endorsed Ryan Gosling’s upcoming take on Ghost Rider and said he looks forward to seeing the movie.
- Marvel announced at San Diego Comic‑Con that Ryan Gosling will lead the new Ghost Rider film with Shawn Levy directing and a release date set for July 28, 2028.
- Industry reports say Connor Storrie is in talks to play the film’s villain and that early production prep is underway for a planned 2027 shoot, but those casting and production details remain unconfirmed.
- The endorsement has added a personal layer to the reboot because Eva Mendes, who appeared with Cage in the 2007 Ghost Rider, has reportedly supported Gosling and Cage originally played Johnny Blaze in 2007 and 2012.
- The film is slated to arrive after Avengers: Secret Wars and observers say its tone and rating will shape how Marvel handles supernatural elements in the MCU, though any links to characters like Mephisto or groups such as the Midnight Sons remain speculative.
