Connor Storrie is in talks to join Marvel’s “Ghost Rider” opposite Ryan Gosling, according to reporting from The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Deadline.

Variety reports that Storrie is in talks to play the villain opposite Gosling. Deadline describes the actor as circling a role and says sources have identified him as the film’s reported villain, while also noting that the specific part has not been disclosed.

Shawn Levy is directing “Ghost Rider” from a script by Jonathan Tropper. Variety reports that the film is slated for release on July 28, 2028.

The available reporting distinguishes the broader casting development from the still-unsettled details of Storrie’s involvement. Deadline says Marvel representatives declined to comment, and reports that the casting and the specific role remain officially unconfirmed.

The reports were published on October 27, 2026, with all three outlets agreeing on the central development that Storrie is being considered for a role opposite Gosling. The villain description is more narrowly sourced: Variety states it directly in its report, while Deadline presents it as information from sources rather than a confirmed character announcement.
