Ryan Gosling is just the latest Hollywood superstar to see his name dragged into the Marvel Cinematic Universe rumor circus. Specifically, reports suggest that Gosling will play Nova in the MCU. But, it appears that Gosling is not keen on playing the "Human Rocket". Instead, Gosling revealed that he's much more open to playing a different MCU superhero.
In a recent Happy Sad Confused podcast appearance, Gosling mentioned that he'd like to play Ghost Rider in the MCU.
Here's what Josh Horowitz had to say in a recent tweet: Next week my full chat w/ Ryan Gosling for @MTVNews. But for now, an honest to goodness EXCLUSIVE.
Ryan and I chatted about the Nova rumors yesterday which he said aren't true. BUT this morning Ryan reached out to me to say there is one superhero he wants to play... GHOST RIDER.
Gosling isn't the first established name to throw his name into the ring to play Johnny Blaze in the MCU. We shouldn't forget that Nicolas Cage already had a chance to portray Ghost Rider in a live-action adaptation with 2007's Ghost Rider and its sequel, 2011's Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
