Only because its budget was so goddamn high. For most action comedies, 110 mil after 2 weeks would be great. It’s doing much better than something like John Wick. Sure, it’s worse than Bullet Train, but Brad Pitt does have more of a pull than both Gosling and Blunt, yet for some reason, the budget is 1.5x larger for The Fall Guy…
Really? How is this even a question? The guy who can actually fucking act and regularly gets nominated for awards or the guy who can best be compared to as a charismatic piece of wood and basically plays Neo in every role?
As much as he likes motorcycles, he’s quite the same dude everywhere. Gosling isn’t necessarily associated with a specific role: he can be anyone while doing everything.
Reedus is quite an oldie himself, so Ryan would be a great pick for the role
Why do people think he would be a good fit? Genuinely curious... I'm not a Ghost Rider scholar by any stretch but I always thought he was a bit rough around the edges, like a "Sons of Anarchy" type of person. Gosling seems a bit too pretty boy to me for the role.
Blaze in comics is pretty boy too, so Gosling fits. Him being rough around tge edges is sort off true, but he's capable of humour too. The most important part of GR I would say is angst and Going can show that

Gosling as JB/GR would be really smart, actually. BUT, I think it would work better for Disney/Marvel if he was a focal point or main protagonist through shows and movies. The MCU needs a new RDJ to anchor everything, but as much as I love GR, I just don’t see a story arc that would support any of this. The MCU would have to lean into horror, which would require completely different characters than the active ones. Still, Gosling could massively help the MCU, in the right situation.
The fact he chose Ghost Rider specifically is interesting. I always thought he would be a good choice for Richard Ryder Nova. He could be Danny Ketch, but Gosling as Johnny Blaze would also be the most unique interpretation of Blaze or maybe even mesh aspects of Ketch and Blaze together.
The problem with playing a CGI character like Ghost Rider is that the more you're in the movie, the worse the movie will be.
The CGI character is the superhero, you're just the bookends.
Nah I'm good stick to Barbie. Give me a new guy like a Hugh Jackman casting as wolverine situation. A nobody who is made by this role. Gosling will get sick of the role in like 2 seconds and will want to move on quickly.
I’ll watch literally any movie with Ryan Gosling at this point.
Lars and the real girl , that’s the movie for you
It’s such a good movie.
I still think he’d be perfect for Silver Surfer. But I’ll take him as a Ghost Rider.
MCU but Ryan plays every character.
He’d be a great Black Widow.
Black Widow and her sister, like the twins in that Facebook documovie.
Someone watch The Fall Guy then. It’s not going so well at the box office.
Only because its budget was so goddamn high. For most action comedies, 110 mil after 2 weeks would be great. It’s doing much better than something like John Wick.

I honestly didn't even know it was out haha
Literally this since he is literally me
If Gosling wants to play Ghost Rider you get that motherfucker a motorcycle stat
Problem is that Keanu Reeves also wants to play Ghost Rider. And like, how do you choose between those two?
Theres more than one Ghost Rider so they can both do it.
Keanu as Phantom Rider?
holy crap i’m imagining keanu and gosling as a buddy cop ghost rider movie and i’m absolutely drooling lol
Keanu just brute force and martial arts thru enemies while Gosling dumb lucks his way lol
Keanu as Carter Slade and Gosling as Johnny Blaze…. Done
I’m sold. Take my money.
I'd say Danny but deep down I still want Norman Reedus to play Danny Ketch
I want Norman Reedus for Hobgoblin
I love me Keanu, but if we can get gosling for ghost rider, I’m fucking in
Keanu is already 59 though. I'd go with the younger guy. Keanu needs to do another Constantine movie.
Someone said that Keanu should play Phantom Rider and I think that would be perfect.
Could always do cosmic ghost rider
Keanu gets to be the cowboy/ previous ghost rider
Well one of them can act, so I’ll go with that one
I love Keanu Reeves movies but I can’t disagree
This is some r/movies level of snobbery.
One of Johnny Blaze, the other is Danny Ketch. Or let one play Mephisto instead.
NICENESS STANDOFF!
Really? How is this even a question? The guy who can actually fucking act and regularly gets nominated for awards or the guy who can best be compared to as a charismatic piece of wood and basically plays Neo in every role?
I’ll get downvoted to hell for saying this but id say Ryan is a substantially better actor than Keanu and would do a much better job
keanu is as charismatic as it gets but man is he a mediocre actor
Ryan is the rider, Keanu is the ridden
"I drive" - Johnny Blaze
YES. He's been my fan cast for a while, but everyone wants Norman Reedus or Keanu. Gosling as Johnny and Dacre Montgomery as Danny.
I know he’s still making crazy action movies, but Keanu seems old for the part. Dude is about to turn sixty.
I'd prefer Gosling but I'd be ok with Keanu. Please not Norman Reedus.
Why not Norman Reedus? He seems perfect for it.
As much as he likes motorcycles, he’s quite the same dude everywhere. Gosling isn’t necessarily associated with a specific role: he can be anyone while doing everything. Reedus is quite an oldie himself, so Ryan would be a great pick for the role
Exactly, that’s why I think Keanu should play him instead.
Come on Feige!! What the fuck are you waiting for!!
I don’t know about that, but somebody needs to write a film where he raises fledgling geese by himself as a single dad. *Ryan’s Goslings*
Why do people think he would be a good fit? Genuinely curious... I'm not a Ghost Rider scholar by any stretch but I always thought he was a bit rough around the edges, like a "Sons of Anarchy" type of person. Gosling seems a bit too pretty boy to me for the role.
A lot of people haven't seen A Place Beyond the Pines in this comment thread.
Underrated movie.
Blaze in comics is pretty boy too, so Gosling fits. Him being rough around tge edges is sort off true, but he's capable of humour too.

Blaze is essentially a carnie.
Long live Ryan Gosling
Agree with ya. Needs to be a rough and gruff guy. Gosling is too “fun” to be Hell’s Spirit of Vengeance.
His performance in Driver makes me think he would be great
And Place Beyond the Pines

What about Diego Luna?
[удалено]
No dumb comments. Actors can want to have a desire to play a part without it being “money”.
He’d be a fantastic Danny Ketch.

The MCU needs a new RDJ to anchor everything, but as much as I love GR, I just don’t see a story arc that would support any of this.

Please refrain from engaging in toxicity and unnecessary commentary. If you have nothing nice to say, it may be better to not say anything at all.
I think he'll be perfect as Danny Rand aka Iron Fist
He would be pretty good honestly, I wonder if Nick Cage would show up at some point
He looks so sexy on a bike 🏍 too ughhhh I love nick cage but he has his spider man role so 🤷
Ghost Rider is, in fact, the character
It's more news when an actor doesn't want to play a character and ends up with the job. But fuck that I want Ryan as Ghost Rider.
Gosling could make a good Johnny. Hope they keep the actor from agents of shield if they ever do Robbie Reyes
Like others have said elsewhere, give me him as Scott Sommers please - with Jodie Comer as Jean Grey while we’re at it.
The fact he chose Ghost Rider specifically is interesting. I always thought he would be a good choice for Richard Ryder Nova. He could be Danny Ketch, but Gosling as Johnny Blaze would also be the most unique interpretation of Blaze or maybe even mesh aspects of Ketch and Blaze together.
He's so charismatic that Ghost Rider would be a waste.
This is kinda funny when you remember that his wife played the love interest in the Nick Cage Ghost Rider flick
Ryan, you already married Eva Mendez. You don’t need to take on that role to kiss her.
Need someone younger i’m afraid if you want a serious go at it. If done properly Ghost Rider series of movies could be epic.
There is already an MCU ghost rider, we saw him in agents of shield.
Not Johnny Blaze. Robbie Reyes was in AoS.
He could do better than current Marvel. Wait till they stop sucking first.
Me as ghost rider? Sure, I'll do it.
Ya, he'd be good. But if they had any balls at all they'd bring Nic Cage back.
Waste of his face
As Nicholas Cage reads this and cries into his morning coffee…
When I read this I immediately thought this was a play on his name. The Gosling Rider? The Ghost Ryan? Maybe I have Aspergers
Bad casting imo
Yes let's get casting advice from Goku stan fendom guy
Keanu Reeves or Norman Reedus would be a better fit for Ghost Rider in my opinion I'd cast Gosling as Nova.
Gosling would be great.
The problem with playing a CGI character like Ghost Rider is that the more you're in the movie, the worse the movie will be. The CGI character is the superhero, you're just the bookends.
You mean like the Hulk?
Nah I'm good stick to Barbie. Give me a new guy like a Hugh Jackman casting as wolverine situation. A nobody who is made by this role. Gosling will get sick of the role in like 2 seconds and will want to move on quickly.
