In July 2022, Josh Horowitz interviewed actor Ryan Gosling for MTV News and during the conversation, Gosling shut down rumors about joining the MCU as Nova. However, there was another superhero that Gosling said he wanted to play: Ghost Rider. Shortly after that, Kevin Feige shared his opinion on Gosling’s casting in another MTV News interview with Horowitz,
“Gosling’s unbelievable. Ryan is amazing… I’d love to find a place for him in the MCU. He’s dressed up as Ken on Venice Beach and gets more press than giant movies coming out that weekend. It’s amazing.”
