Ryan Gosling is definitely keeping the fire alive when it comes to those 'Ghost Rider' rumours. While the Oscar-nominated actor has mentioned his interest in the Marvel antihero before, he’s now confirming that there is still hope he might actually land the role.
During a recent appearance on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, host Josh Horowitz asked Gosling point-blank if he's had any meetings with Marvel boss Kevin Feige about playing the flame-skulled biker. Ryan Gosling admitted that some discussions have actually taken place, though he teased that the situation is a bit complicated.

'Ghost Rider' History
The character has a long history on screen, starting with Nicolas Cage, who played the stuntman-turned-demon-hunter Johnny Blaze in the 2007 film and its 2011 sequel. Later, Gabriel Luna took on a different version of the character, Robbie Reyes, in the 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' television series. Even Kevin Feige weighed in back in 2022, noting that he would love to find a spot for Gosling in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For now, Ryan Gosling joked that he's just happy someone in his house got to live the 'Ghost Rider' experience, referring to his partner, Eva Mendes, who starred alongside Nicolas Cage in the original movie.
