Ghost Rider (Special Presentation 2023)

Template:Ghost Rider (Special Presentation 2024)

**Ghost Rider** is a rumored/confirmed web television special, based on the Marvel Comics superhero with the same name. This will be the third television special, following Guardians of the Galaxy: The Holiday Special. The special is produced by Marvel Studios and is rumored to be 2024's Halloween Marvel Special, much like Werewolf By Night, so its release should be expected in October of 2024.

## Most Recent News

Within the MCU, Kevin Feige seems to have a lot of secret ideas but this one has been speculated for a while. GHOST RIDER is one of the scariest but most cunning characters within the Marvel Universe and we are just waiting for Ghost Rider in the MCU.

In recent news, there has been big talk about Ghost Rider getting his project but the frequent mention is that it is going to be a special presentation, like Werewolf By Night and Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special. This whole talk is getting people to think if we are to expect a Midnight Sons project from the MCU sooner than we think.

This special presentation, if true, will be released as a 2024 Halloween Special, and whilst there is no confirmed actor, the speculation is that he will be played by either Keanu Reeves or Ryan Gosling. I doubt that the actor from the Agent of Shield series will come back as this should be a soft reboot on the character as that variant only appeared for a short amount of time. By the day, it is looking more and more like it will be Keanu Reeves as various concept art has been made for it.

## **Synopsis**

From recent news, this movie is more than likely going to be an origin project following Johnny Blaze's descent to becoming the spirit of vengeance. A professional bike rider, Johnny Blaze sells his soul to the devil, which in Marvel Law is Mephisto, who will the main antagonist of the movie.

## **Plot**

There is no plot in the early days, but in recent news, the main antagonist for this special presentation will be Mephisto. Mephisto has been leaked to be the villain for many things like Multiverse of Madness and WandaVision but this is not a speculation. Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing Mephisto in this special presentation as the Ghost Rider's villain and adversary, but this will not be his debut.

Later this year, the Ironheart series will be released and that is where Mephisto will be making his debut this ties in with another character named The Hood, making his debut in this series as well. Sacha Baron Cohen has been contracted with a 4 project deal, the first being Ironheart and the second being the Ghost Rider Special Presentation. This also means it isn't so far-fetched that he may appear in the potential Midnight Sons project that is hopefully not long away.

This all makes sense as in the comics, Johnny Blaze is cursed by Mephisto with the powers of Zarathos making him the Spirit of Vengeance named Ghost Rider. This also means if Mephisto is in this project, this is more than likely an origins project as Mephisto is the cause of Ghost Rider.

## Casting

This is simple information as it is too early days but there are other names floating around from the fans, like Ryan Gosling, but Keanu Reeves seems to be the perfect fit according to fans but other names are:

1. Scott Eastwood
2. Dacre Montgomery
3. Luke Grimes
4. Boyd Holbrook
5. Bill Skarsgard

All these people are the perfect fit for a Ghost Rider from both the western style and seriousness of the character, and this would be an honorary for Ghost Rider and it is better to keep it close to the comics.
