A Ryan Gosling<\/a> Ghost Rider movie and the first Black Panther 3 cast announcements were among Marvel Studios\u2019<\/a> big new-project reveals at San Diego Comic Con’s famed Hall H.<\/p>\n

Although there wasn’t much news on the X-Men front, this weekend’s presentation by Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige did contain a few slivers of insight as to where the MCU is headed in the aftermath of Avengers: Doomsday (whose latest trailer dropped this week<\/a> in the swirling wake of The Odyssey<\/a>, to somewhat muted reception online) and 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars.<\/p>\n

In case you weren\u2019t refreshing your social media feeds, we\u2019ve got the breakdown on all three biggest bits of news out of the panel.<\/p>\n

After many rumors and much speculation, Feige announced that the character of Ghost Rider will return to the MCU, this time played by Ryan Gosling. The film, helmed by Deadpool & Wolverine<\/a> director Shawn Levy, will release in 2028. A writer has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

This marks a reunion for Gosling and Levy after Star Wars: Starfighter and a return to Marvel for Levy after the previously mentioned Deadpool & Wolverine. What remains less clear at this point is which version of the Spirit of Vengeance Gosling will play. However, it\u2019s most likely he\u2019ll be the Johnny Blaze iteration, last portrayed by Nic Cage in the 2007 theatrical version, which also starred Gosling\u2019s wife Eva Mendes (unclear if she\u2019ll return for this).<\/p>\n

Also worth mentioning that Ghost Rider technically exists in the MCU already, as Gabriel Luna played the Robbie Reyes version of the character in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although I\u2019m not exactly sure how much of that series is or isn\u2019t canon nowadays. Levy, a steady hand who doesn\u2019t rock the boat too much, seems like an odd choice for a property and character who leans more metal than corporate-friendly. We are absolutely getting another Hall of Fame Ryan Gosling jacket<\/a> out of this one; we’ll see how the rest shakes out when Ghost Rider releases in 2028.<\/p>\n
