If you witnessed the Barbie universe come to life, you’d likely nod in agreement with Ryan Gosling’s flawless embodiment of Ken. Gosling seamlessly integrated into the rosy-hued, plastic realm of Mattel, portraying Ken with uncanny perfection. However, if you were to envision him as a superhero, his image would likely be adorned with extraordinary abilities. A character far removed from the shoes of Nicolas Cage, just within the likes of Emily Blunt.

Blunt’s response to Ryan Gosling’s superhero aspirations was nothing short of hilarious. The notion of Gosling donning the mantle of a superhero does not include the fiery essence of a Ghost Rider, as envisioned by Blunt.

Blunt made an appearance on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, where she engaged in a candid conversation about the realm of superheroes. Sharing her experiences of almost being cast as the iconic Black Widow, the actress recounted her interactions with Gosling, who was less keen on donning the superhero cape. However, the bubble of secrecy burst when Horowitz unveiled Gosling’s confession of harboring the desire to embody the Ghost Rider. Blunt couldn’t help but respond with a playful quip, “He’s such a dork, isn’t he? I’m gonna really have beef with him about that.”

While her career has spanned a diverse range of roles, Blunt’s journey has yet to include a venture into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During her conversation, the Oppenheimer actress also unveiled a shared sentiment with Gosling. They both considered any involvement in a superhero endeavor as a badge of honor. Gosling’s past opportunities had multiple studios knocking with enticing offers, including roles in Suicide Squad, The Lone Ranger, and even Doctor Strange. However, Gosling opted to decline these invitations. Evidently, Ghost Rider appears to be the superhero role that fuels his imagination.

Gosling’s wife, Eva Mendes, took center stage in the 2007 film Ghost Rider, a move that couldn’t help but draw attention. Marvel’s president, Kevin Feige, responded to Gosling’s intriguing demand with a nod of acknowledgment. In an interview with MTV News, he expressed the studio’s keen interest in collaborating with the acclaimed actor. Notably, Feige’s words hinted at the potential for an exciting partnership that could potentially bring Gosling into the superhero fold.

He has a history of working alongside the accomplished directors of Captain Marvel in Half Nelson. While there were rumors of Gosling taking the role of Sentry in Thunderbolt. In a fascinating twist that could shape the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the allure of Ghost Rider may be intertwined with the intriguing dynamics of Ryan Gosling’s demand and the notable nod from Marvel’s visionary president.
