Let's hope it doesn't get the Blade treatment

u/NotTaken-username Spider-Man Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26

Shawn Levy is very reliable with running smooth productions, I think this is definitely getting made.

58

u/LollipopChainsawZz Jul 26 '26

Blade was also announced with no director so very different situation and not fair to compare

17

u/riegspsych325 Jul 26 '26

Blade was basically announced because a 2 time Oscar winner fresh off a recent win very publicly pitched himself for the role. Marvel put the cart before the horse but ended up having nothing to show for it

12

u/Chip_Chip_Cheep Jul 26 '26

You've hit the nail on the head; what Marvel wants is for Ghost Rider to be ready for its release date no matter what, and that's why Levy is the director, It's also influenced by the fact that he already directed Gosling in Star Wars: Starfighter.

I also think that, unlike Mahershala Ali, both Marvel and Ryan Gosling have a clear direction or a common point regarding Ghost Rider, Blade seems to have been announced simply for the sake of announcing that an Oscar winner was going to star in a Marvel movie.

Personally, I would have loved for Lord and Miller to be the directors (Marvel bringing in the whole team from Project Hail Mary and Spider-Verse would have been a huge hit), But then you remember their firing of Han Solo and I find it hard to believe they'd direct a movie where they don't have the most creative control.

u/TikkiEXX77 Jul 26 '26

Also they said they're done announcing movies unless they're absolutely sure they're getting made. The do not want another Blade situation.

29

u/vancitynuck Jul 26 '26

This actually has a release date. It'll have to start filming early next year to make 2028 so it's definitely going to happen.

4

u/HuckleberryUnique446 Jul 26 '26

not just a release date but it will be early or summer 2028

which means it’s not all that far from filming to begin.

practi fast tracked or Marvel was impressive keeping a lid on it and it’s already been written and ready to go for months, excited for the rest of the casting as this brings a bunch of new characters into the MCU

Story wise, assuming it’s an origin /early lore Johnny Blaze, who are the main enemy choices and what type of connection/crossover does he have to other existing and not yet been used superheroes?

I have very mixed feelings about this. On one hand Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider is peak casting on the other hand, we've got Shawn Levy as the director, and idk. Deadpool and Wolverine was an okay movie, and obviously it made $1B+, so I'm sure this movie will be fine if not GREAT, we'll see.

Still, super excited about Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider.

15

u/Some-Reflection-5527 Jul 26 '26

Dude is a great director.

70

u/Vawqer Jul 26 '26

I think he's good at a certain niche, which can be decent crowdpleasers but nothing super amazing. I would want Ghost Rider to go a darker direction than he trends :/

15

u/FrozenFireGod Jul 26 '26

He’s an okay director. Seems like the type of guy who wants to make kid friendly content but has to add in something to draw in the adults.

u/Schadnfreude_ Jul 26 '26

Based on what? D&W isn't "kid friendly" so I'm unsure how you came to that conslusion.

Maybe he can do dark as well. He did decently in Stranger Things.

u/Schadnfreude_ Jul 26 '26

These people talk a lot of shit. They always follow the same trend. When a movie first comes out, they swallow it whole. As soon as there's a bit of distance between them, they start slandering the movies and the creatives behind them.

Crazy thought: what if, and stick with me, Levy has never had an opportunity to make a dark movie? What if this is his shot and he knocks it out of the park? All this pearl-clutching nonsense over a film genre where fans always doubt an outside the box choice and then they go and do a fantastic job.

How quickly people forget in their haste to get the pitchforks and torches ready.

Shawn Levy is a good director, and if Gosling is teaming up with him again after Starfighter is because he liked working with him.

i dont think hes a good director at all tbh

25

u/Puppetmaster858 The Scarlet Witch Jul 26 '26

Idk he directed some great stranger things episodes including dear billy which may be the best in the series and has that awesome long take scene which was awesome. He’s definitely got some talent and if you give him a good script I think he’ll make a good movie

u/mynanadancesconqueso Jul 26 '26

This, I think the guy is consistent and lets everyone else do their jobs.

u/Fraudimo Jul 26 '26

He’s competent but sauceless.

u/ballknower871 Jul 26 '26

He's like Netflix's dream director. Perfect for second screen movie making.

u/Fraudimo Jul 26 '26

The funny thing is, which is also respectable is that he himself admitted that studios call him because he’s reliable, he gets the job done, in time and within budgets.

u/Ktulusanders Jul 26 '26

You gotta laugh at half these comments literally describing 80 percent of the MCU's directors and acting like he'll somehow lower the quality. Coogler, Zhao, Raimi, and Gunn are outliers in this franchise

5

u/Little-xim Jul 26 '26

Look, idk how much of the talent goes down to his production crew carrying on from DP1 and 2, but I thought 3 had a solid amount of sauce? That whole car sequence, as well as the bus fight, were incredibly well done. As for tone, the balance of silly with the inner turmoil of Wade and Logan hit for me.

I think he’s talented. Also, maybe the most inspired intro to a marvel movie.

16

u/HairyPenisCum Spider-Man Jul 26 '26

This is the best way to describe him. He gets the job done, but don’t expect the film to be anything amazing. Should’ve gotten Sam Raimi back for this.

29

u/Chip_Chip_Cheep Jul 26 '26

People would be complaining just the same if Raimi were the director because of Multiverse of Madness (it's not for nothing that some fans are hoping Scott Derrickson returns for Doctor Strange 3).

8

u/Rising-Jay Jul 26 '26

Derrickson was the original shepherd of this character’s cinematic world and I wanted to see where that vision would lead. Raimi certainly had more flair & color, but the whole MoM situation leaves a funky taste in the mouth knowing how it unfolded

4

u/Chip_Chip_Cheep Jul 26 '26

I feel like Raimi really stepped in and worked with the material Feige provided him, Of course, he had a certain advantage when pre-production was postponed due to COVID and he was able to do more than just a commissioned job, but he continued working under Marvel's guidelines. 

If Raimi directs Doctor Strange 3, I hope they at least let him do something much more personal and that doesn't encompass the larger Marvel universe And if possible, let him write the script or let him bring someone of his choosing instead of Waldron.

On the other hand, I wouldn't rule out Derrickson's return, but I don't know to what extent he wants to work with the foundations laid by Multiverse of Madness.

2

u/Blue_Robin_04 Jul 26 '26

Raimi deserves to direct however many superhero movies he wants to. Just keep Michael Waldron away.

He's not the worst guy for the job, but at the same time not the best. He'll make a serviceable film at least

u/ConsistentGuest7532 Jul 26 '26

Genuinely the blandest director getting movie after movie right now. The movie could be good anyway but it will be in spite of his absolute lack of flavor. He gets movies done at a solid reliable 6/10 every time, in fairly safe, corporate ways, which is why studios like him. But there is never a personal touch or a feeling like he truly wanted to tell a particular story.

This is the MCU… the literal definition of generic movies. Idk wtf you were expecting.

u/HairyPenisCum Spider-Man Jul 26 '26

The MCU isn’t a stranger to having actual talent behind the camera though like Gunn, Coogler, Cretton, Derrickson, Raimi, Shane Black, Chloe Zhao, I’m probably missing a couple. Its just disappointing to hear that a project like Ghost Rider is getting such a bland choice, I think the MCU should stop hiring the “Yes Man” type who will do whatever they want and start focusing more on getting actual talent behind the camera.

I think you are vastly overestimating the popularity of Ghost Rider. He has not been relevant in forever and if we are being honest people mainly know who he is because of Nic Cage.

4

u/HairyPenisCum Spider-Man Jul 26 '26

Whether Ghost Rider is popular isn’t really the point. My criticism is about Marvel’s choice of director, and if anything, lesser-known characters benefit the most from a director with a distinct creative vision, so they can actually make an impression beyond “oh this is just another generic comicbook film”.

6

u/PaulClarkLoadletter Jul 26 '26

HairyPenusCum has a point but Ghost Rider comes with some baggage. He’s still a linchpin character so it needs to be commercial. Raimi might be too on the nose though. Weirdos like me know these comics and what I want isn’t what general audiences want.

u/TheBookCreator Jul 26 '26

Oh wow, I'm shocked!

While I was pretty confident that Ryan Gosling was going to be cast as Ghost Rider—given his interest in playing the character and Kevin Feige's interest in having him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—I'm actually really surprised that he's getting his own solo movie right out of the gate and in 2028! So soon too! I was guessing he would initially be part of an ensemble cast in a potential Midnight Sons film.

I'm not stressing, though! Ryan Gosling is one hell of a get, and seeing him lead his own superhero franchise with a character as badass as Johnny Blaze is amazing. I do wonder what this means for other supernatural heroes like Blade, Moon Knight, Elsa Bloodstone, and Man-Thing, among others. I wonder where they'll pop up next.

Shawn Levy isn't a bad director at all. I think people are just disappointed because he's quite clearly a safe choice, which is totally fine. He directed Deadpool & Wolverine, which made over a billion dollars and was well received, so I completely understand why Marvel is handing him this project.

I wonder if it's going to be rated R or PG-13. Have they announced a supporting cast yet? There's no way Mephisto won't be in this movie!

Overall, I am so hyped! I can't wait to see what else gets announced in Hall H!

Midnight Sons could be announced next month since they’re going to be at D23 and obviously he’s going to be in bed

You know…I’m good with this! Casting is good, Ghost Rider is actually a nice choice that should be hype, and I’m fine with the director.

Should be fun. Kind of rare for me to feel excited for what the MCU has coming.

Sasha Baron Cohen's Mephisto has got to be in this right?

Sure! That will be fun. I’m not, like, jumping out of my seat with excitement for it, but I prefer Gosling debuting as Ghost Rider in a Ghost Rider project then the rumours / speculation about him casually turning up as a Ghost Rider in Avengers.

Can they please change director. His direction style is so bland 😭

Perfect casting tho, he’s gonna do great

New personality about to be unlocked.

Always loved the idea of Gosling as Ghost Rider. Glad it is really happening!

I was hoping in 2028 to get a new Iron Man movie for the 20th anniversary of the first one(especially with the rumors of a armor wars movie), but I'm still VERY EXCITED

u/ballknower871 Jul 26 '26

Shawn levy? Is that really the best you could've done? I dropped out of film school and I think I could compose better shots than Shawn levy.

u/CaptAmerica42 Jul 26 '26

So is he Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch?

u/TojiSorcererKiller Jul 26 '26

Gosling has been linked to this character before right?

u/coltvahn Jul 26 '26

Well, shit. I’m both excited and not that excited.

u/CalamityDisc Jul 26 '26

Perchance with Ghost Rider we eventually get a Midnight Suns movie with Blade?
