About Ghost Rider
Marvel Studios' Ghost Rider is set for July 28, 2028. No plot details have been shared yet. The current slate starts the next MCU saga with an X-Men film in May 2028, with Ghost Rider and Black Panther 3 following later that year. The film rights to the character came back to Marvel Studios from Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures in May 2013, after Columbia's two Nicolas Cage films.
At San Diego Comic-Con in July 2026, Ryan Gosling was confirmed to star, with Shawn Levy directing and Jonathan Tropper writing. Gosling is reported to be playing Johnny Blaze. He had publicly said he wanted to play Ghost Rider in the MCU back in 2022. Levy previously directed Deadpool & Wolverine for Marvel Studios, and he, Gosling and Tropper worked together on Star Wars: Starfighter (2027).
Good to know
- It's set for July 28, 2028, as one of the first Phase Seven films.
- Ryan Gosling was confirmed as the star at SDCC in July 2026, four years after saying publicly that he wanted the role.
- Director Shawn Levy also made Deadpool & Wolverine for Marvel Studios.
- The MCU has already had a Ghost Rider on TV: Gabriel Luna played Robbie Reyes in season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
How to watch it
There's nothing to watch yet, but you can prepare. Season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. features Gabriel Luna's Robbie Reyes and includes an unnamed Ghost Rider during his origin story that Luna believed was meant to be Johnny Blaze. Nicolas Cage's Ghost Rider (2007) and Spirit of Vengeance (2012) are useful background on Johnny's comics origin, though they aren't part of the MCU. Since the film follows the 2028 X-Men movie on the slate, keep an eye on that too.
