Release Date Announced
Disney has officially scheduled Ryan Gosling's 'Ghost Rider' for July 28, 2028, filling the slot previously held for an untitled Marvel movie. This makes it the third Marvel film of 2028, joining 'Black Panther 3' on December 15 and the untitled 'X-Men' movie on May 5. The announcement came as part of a broader update to Disney's theatrical release calendar following the D23 fan event.[S1][S2]
Shawn Levy, director of the upcoming 'Ghost Rider', teams up with screenwriter Jonathan Tropper, known for 'Star Wars: Starfighter'. Ryan Gosling steps into the shoes of the iconic anti-hero, the Spirit of Vengeance, a role previously portrayed by Nicolas Cage in Sony's films. This new installment aims to bring Johnny Blaze into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with potential appearances by Sacha Baron Cohen as Mephisto, hinting at a Midnight Sons team-up.[S2][S4]
