A new rumor is circulating on Twitter about a possible appearance in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. This one involves an actor from a completely different movie series and a character who hasn’t been featured in a major film since 2007, when Nicolas Cage and Eva Longoria starred in a movie directed by Mark Steven Johnson. The character did make a brief appearance in the first episode of season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., though.
Sources like MCU Film News and Twitter user ApocHorseman reported that Robert Pattinson was considered for the part of Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze). While he ultimately became Batman in Matt Reeves’ film, it’s interesting to think about how he might have portrayed the character and what that could have meant for Ghost Rider’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Fans reacted positively to the idea, with one saying it “could definitely work.” Another believed not choosing the actor from the Twilight series was a mistake. Rumors have been circulating for some time that Marvel Studios intends to introduce a new Ghost Rider in Avengers: Doomsday. This aligns with the approach of directors the Russo brothers, who often debut new characters in their team-up movies – for example, Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War and The Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Last year, reports surfaced about a meeting between Marvel’s Kevin Feige and the actor, leading many to believe he was the frontrunner. However, it now appears that meeting was just an exploratory discussion.
One fan declared Ryan Gosling the perfect choice, and they may be right – he’s been connected to the role for a while. While promoting The Fall Guy, Gosling revealed he’d expressed interest in playing Ghost Rider to Kevin Feige. He described the conversation as a special moment, explaining he told the director he wanted the part, and Feige quickly pursued the idea. Gosling added that playing Ghost Rider would be “amazing.”
It’s certain Robert Pattinson won’t be playing Ghost Rider, but Ryan Gosling is a strong possibility for the part. And given how enthusiastic he appears to be, that would be a great outcome.
