Avengers: Doomsday Rumor: Ghost Rider Could Join Cast With New Actor
Industry insiders claim that a version of Ghost Rider could potentially appear in Avengers: Doomsday. These speculations come after Disney and Marvel Studios delayed the release of Doomsday to December 18, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars to December 17, 2027. Scooper and journalist Jeff Sneider speculated on The Hot Mic podcast that Marvel was looking for an actor to play Ghost Rider. 'I have heard this week that Marvel is casting the role of Ghost Rider,' Sneider said. After his co-host John Rocha expressed his surprise, Sneider added, 'And that's for Doomsday. I am hearing Ghost Rider is going to be in Doomsday.' This prompted Rocha to ask whether this appearance would be a fan service and Nicolas Cage would return as Johnny Blaze after portraying the character in Ghost Rider (2007) and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011). Rocha also wondered whether this Ghost Rider would alternatively be a different version who would take over the mantle and eventually be part of the Midnight Sons storyline, along with Blade and others. Sneider subsequently clarified that Marvel was casting a new actor and wasn't bringing back Nicolas Cage. He explained, 'That would just be a phone call, right? This is a search.' When Rocha asked if Sneider knew whether this iteration of Ghost Rider would be Blaze or some other version, the latter admitted that he didn't. 'Ghost Rider to me is Johnny Blaze,' he elaborated. 'Are there other Ghost Riders?' After Rocha laughed and said yes, there were, Sneider responded, 'I have no idea what you're talking about right now. To me, Johnny Blaze is Ghost Rider.' As Rocha said, there have been several Ghost Riders in Marvel Comics. A gunslinger named Carter Slade was known as Ghost Rider. After the debut of the motorcycle-riding character, Slade's alias was retroactively changed to Phantom Rider. Sam Elliott portrayed the character in the 2007 movie. Besides those two, Daniel Ketch, Alejandra Jones, and Robbie Reyes have also been Ghost Rider in the comics. The Last of Us actor Gabriel Luna portrayed Reyes in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
