The MCU reboot of Ghost Rider is getting "heated" as Heated Rivalry breakout Connor Storrie is currently in talks to join the movie.
During Marvel Studios' San Diego Comic-Con presentation, it was announced that Ryan Gosling is set to star in a new Ghost Rider movie that will be part of the MCU and targeting a 2028 release. Fans have been wondering which other stars might join the cast and how it will connect to the rest of the franchise.
Connor Storrie in Talks for Ghost Rider Movie
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Connor Storrie is currently in talks to co-star in the Ghost Rider movie starring Ryan Gosling.
Details about his role in the MCU project are still under wraps, but he is expected to play the main villain. Fans may need to check the comics to see which antagonist he might play.
The report also confirmed that the film is currently preparing to begin shooting next year in New York. Dune: Part Three cinematographer Linus Sandgren has also been hired as director of photography, and it will be shot on film (all MCU movies today are shot on digital).
This won't be the first time that Storrie is entering the comic book world, since he also had a small role in Joker: Folie à Deux, where he played the young Arkham Asylum inmate who killed Arthur Fleck at the end of the movie.
Thanks to Heated Rivalry, Storrie has instantly become one of the hot rising stars in Hollywood, and this will be his first major franchise project following the series' success.
So far, the plot details regarding Ghost Rider are still under wraps. Shawn Levy is directing the film, and it is currently slated for release in theaters on July 28, 2028.
