Ryan Gosling is headlining Marvel's new Ghost Rider movie. He was already deep in franchise territory with Star Wars: Starfighter, and now he gets a burning skull too.

Release date, trailer, full cast and plot are all open questions. Right now the tracking is speculation stacked on a single confirmed star.

Danny Ketch carried the 90s run and Robbie Reyes brought a muscle car and flaming chains. Which one Gosling plays shapes the whole tone of the film.
