Nicolas Cage Weighs in on Ryan Gosling’s Ghost Rider, 20 Years After His Version

Nicolas Cage has publicly backed Ryan Gosling’s upcoming portrayal of Ghost Rider, saying he is looking forward to seeing the film and has wished Gosling well. Cage played the supernatural Marvel character in two films, so his support connects the new project with the earlier screen version.

Marvel announced Gosling’s film at Comic-Con, where the actor said he had wanted to play the character for a long time. The film is directed by Shawn Levy and is dated for 28 July 2028; Connor Storrie is in talks to play the villain. Gosling’s wife, Eva Mendes, appeared with Cage in the 2007 original and has also supported his casting.
