Overview
- Marvel announced in July 2026 that Ryan Gosling will star in a Ghost Rider reboot directed by Shawn Levy, written by Jonathan Tropper, with the film set for release in 2028 and Kevin Feige producing.
- Kevin Feige said Gosling originated the project pitch that sold the idea to Levy and Marvel, a detail that highlights Gosling’s creative involvement beyond acting.
- Multiple outlets reported on Oct. 30–31 that Connor Storrie is in talks to play a villain in the film, but Marvel has not confirmed his casting or the character.
- Reports say production is planned for New York in 2027 and that the shoot may use physical film, while producers named in coverage include Louis D’Esposito, Stephen Broussard, Levy, and Gosling; those production details remain unconfirmed by the studio.
- Comic writer Benjamin Percy has urged an R-rated, body-horror approach and a placeholder synopsis from Ghost Rider comics has circulated online, so the film’s final rating, plot and ties to projects such as Midnight Sons are key unresolved questions to watch as development continues.
