Is this really happening? Okay. As you know, this is a character I&#x27;ve wanted to play for a very long time. So, Kevin (Feige), Josh Horowitz (journalist), Hall H, thank you,&quot; Ryan remarked at Comic-Con.The idea of Gosling playing Ghost Rider had surfaced earlier when Josh playfully pressed Kevin during a press junket about why Marvel had not yet offered the actor the role.Ryan most recently appeared in the hit science-fiction film Project Hail Mary. Adapted from Andy Weir’s bestselling novel, the movie stars Gosling as Ryland Grace, a science teacher who is unexpectedly sent on a crucial mission to prevent a global catastrophe.Speaking with ABS-CBN News in an earlier interview, Gosling shared that he discovered the novel during the COVID-19 pandemic and was immediately drawn to its unlikely hero, who awakens alone in space with no memory of how he got there.&quot;What’s special about this is it’s a different kind of sci-fi. It&#x27;s not a kind of cold, bleak vision of the future,&quot; he shared.&quot;It&#x27;s quite funny, warm, it&#x27;s very emotional, and it has this sort of sense of that maybe the future isn&#x27;t something to fear, but just to be figured out,&quot; he added.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/3/11/ryan-gosling-brings-pink-washed-kenergy-to-the-oscars-1357" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ:Ryan Gosling brings pink-washed Kenergy to the Oscars</a></div>Ryan also previously starred in The Fall Guy (2024), Barbie (2023), and The Gray Man (2022), among others.  He is set to star in Star Wars: Starfighter in 2027.Meanwhile, Kevin recently discussed what lies ahead for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.&quot;We want to do two things. First, to bring some storylines to a close, those that started long before Iron Man, including the original X-Men characters. Second, to simultaneously set the stage for the future,&quot; he said as reported by FandomWire.He added that the Marvel universe following the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars will be &quot;a streamlined, simplified, single universe that we can keep up with.&quot;
