Ryan Gosling is set to take on Ghost Rider, with the Marvel casting revealed during Comic-Con 2026. The announcement quickly became a talking point for fans, and Eva Mendes also appeared to welcome the news.
According to the report, Mendes has long seemed to view Gosling as a strong fit for the fiery Marvel character. Her reaction added a personal layer to the casting update, reinforcing the idea that those close to the actor see Ghost Rider as a natural match for him.
The role marks a notable comic book move for Gosling, who has earned Oscar nominations and built a career across drama, comedy and major studio films. Taking on Ghost Rider would place him in one of Marvel’s darker and more supernatural corners, a direction that could bring a different tone to his blockbuster work.
With the Comic-Con 2026 reveal now official, attention is shifting to what Gosling’s version of Ghost Rider could look like on screen. Mendes’ supportive response has only added to the early buzz around one of the weekend’s biggest Marvel announcements.
