Secret Wars May Bring Multiple Ghost Riders, Ryan Gosling Included

If you've been waiting on confirmation that Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider arrival is imminent, here's a wrinkle: he might show up before his solo 2028 film. According to insider James Mack, reported by MCU Film News on X, Avengers: Secret Wars is planning to feature multiple versions of Ghost Rider across the multiverse—potentially including Gosling's take on the character.

Gosling's casting as Ghost Rider in a standalone project has been confirmed by Marvel Studios, with the solo film slated for 2028. But Secret Wars, the massive multiverse event film that's been positioned as the culmination of the current MCU saga, could give audiences an early introduction to the character. The nature of Secret Wars—designed to collapse and recombine alternate realities—makes it a natural fit for pulling in multiple iterations of the same hero.

The rumor doesn't specify which other Ghost Rider variants might appear or how extensively Gosling's version would factor into the story. Production on Secret Wars is expected to begin after Avengers: Doomsday wraps, which means we're still a ways out from seeing how this plays out on screen.

Multiple character variants have become a defining feature of Marvel's multiverse strategy, so stacking Ghost Riders alongside each other fits the pattern. What remains to be seen is whether this is early-stage speculation or something closer to actual development plans. For now, it's one rumor to watch as Marvel's slate continues to solidify.
