Connor Storrie in Talks to Play Villain Opposite Ryan Gosling in Marvel’s Ghost Rider

Connor Storrie, known for the drama “Heated Rivalry,” is in negotiations to portray the antagonist in Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Ghost Rider” film, starring Ryan Gosling as the titular Spirit of Vengeance. Shawn Levy, who previously directed Gosling in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” is set to helm the project from a script by Jonathan Tropper, whose credits include “Star Wars: Starfighter.” The film is scheduled for a July 28, 2028 theatrical release, with Levy and Gosling also serving as producers. This casting would mark Storrie’s first major superhero role and a significant step up in profile, pairing him against one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. For Marvel, the move signals a commitment to blending established talent with emerging actors to build its next phase of supernatural storytelling. With production details still emerging, fans are eager to see how this version of Ghost Rider will fit into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe and whether Storrie’s villain will become a memorable foe in the franchise.
