The expansion of the MCU is a pervasive operation undertaken by Marvel Studios, which means new stars would need to fill the space for new projects and endeavors. Thus, new rumors and reports suggest that the company may be looking for a new face in the franchise in the form of Ryan Gosling for a major character.
Reports also suggest that the star himself has shown interest in being part of the cinematic juggernaut, which has led to his conversations with studio executives to discuss how he could be a part of the MCU. Despite this level of enthusiasm, it seems like many fans of the franchise don’t want this possibility to become a reality for some reason.

As per the latest report by industry insider Daniel Richtman, it is being informed that the Blade Runner 2049 star has shown interest in being part of Marvel Studios’ hyper-successful franchise, which is why he has been in conversation with company President Kevin Feige to figure out how he can make it a possibility.
So far though, there have been no developments on those conversations, despite there being rumors that Gosling may become part of the MCU in the upcoming Fantastic Four film as either a protagonist or as the antagonist Doctor Doom. As for who he has in mind for a character, he has shown interest in playing the role of MCU’s Ghost Rider, which has not been confirmed officially.
Still, there is a chance that the star may make an appearance in the future in one of the MCU’s projects, especially as the expansion of the franchise continues. Even when these reports are making rounds around the internet, it seems as though Marvel Fans aren’t taking it with enthusiasm.

Hope he ends up being the Beyonder. Or Kang

Some fans are theorizing that the star will be the replacement for Jonathan Majors’ Kang, while others are also talking about him becoming Beyonder, another supervillain from Marvel Comics. Many are also advising him not to join the MCU, specifically for his benefit seeing the disappointing state of the franchise in recent times.
