Connor Storrie in Talks to Play Villain in Ghost Rider

Connor Storrie is in talks to play the main villain in Marvel’s Ghost Rider, which stars Ryan Gosling, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Storrie played a young inmate in Joker: Folie à Deux. The Hollywood Reporter did not specify which character he has been offered.

Shawn Levy, director of Deadpool & Wolverine, will direct the new Ghost Rider film. It will reunite him with Gosling after Star Wars: Starfighter. His longtime collaborator Jonathan Tropper, who worked on This Is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project, is writing the screenplay.

Plot details remain under wraps. A production document recently appeared online with a preliminary description suggesting Gosling will play Johnny Blaze. However, the text was borrowed from the synopsis of a 2022 comic and may be a placeholder.

Filming is set to begin in New York in 2027, with the premiere scheduled for July 28, 2028.
