Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider Reportedly Set for July 28, 2028

Ryan Gosling’s Ghost Rider is officially riding into theaters in 2028 — but the exact date needs one important qualifier.

Marvel Studios and Disney have confirmed the film for 2028, with Gosling starring and Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy behind the camera. Jonathan Tropper, who also wrote Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter, is writing the script.

A new report from GamesRadar now places Ghost Rider on July 28, 2028. That date has not yet appeared in the official Marvel or Disney announcement pages checked by Red Reactions, which still list only the broader 2028 window, so the exact day is best treated as reported rather than officially confirmed by Marvel for now.

Marvel Has Not Confirmed Which Ghost Rider Gosling Plays

There is another distinction worth keeping clear. Marvel’s official announcement says Gosling will star in Ghost Rider, but it does not identify the character’s human host.

Gosling has spent years publicly discussing his interest in playing Ghost Rider, and Johnny Blaze is the version most closely associated with the character’s previous feature films. Nicolas Cage played Blaze in 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2012’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. The wider Marvel screen history also includes Gabriel Luna as Robbie Reyes in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Until Marvel names Gosling’s incarnation directly, calling him Johnny Blaze as a confirmed MCU fact would go further than the studio’s current announcement.

Ghost Rider Would Land Between X-Men and Black Panther 3

If the July 28 report holds, Ghost Rider would sit in the middle of Marvel Studios’ 2028 theatrical slate.

Marvel’s new X-Men film is scheduled for May 5, 2028, while Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther 3 is officially dated for December 15, 2028.

For now, Marvel has not revealed Ghost Rider’s plot, supporting cast or how the supernatural film will connect to the wider MCU. What is confirmed is already substantial: Gosling is joining Marvel, Levy is directing, Tropper is writing, and the Spirit of Vengeance is headed back to theaters in 2028.
