Marvel’s multiverse finale just got a little more fiery. A fresh rumor claims Avengers: Secret Wars could bring multiple versions of Ghost Rider into the fight — alongside Ryan Gosling, whose own Ghost Rider movie is already locked in for 2028.
The rumor
The report surfaced via MCU Film News on X, crediting insider James Mack. The gist: Secret Wars might lean on alternate-reality versions of Ghost Rider, letting Marvel tease the character before his solo outing. Exact details on how they’d fit in are thin — but a movie built around colliding universes is a natural home for different iterations of the same hero.
Key facts at a glance

Gosling’s ride is already on the schedule
Marvel has confirmed Ryan Gosling will headline his own Ghost Rider movie, set for 2028, and studio chief Kevin Feige has spoken about it publicly. The open question is whether fans get a taste sooner. If Secret Wars introduces Ghost Rider ahead of the solo film, Gosling’s flaming skull could roar in early — possibly with company.
The Nicolas Cage question
One name keeps circling back: Nicolas Cage, who played Johnny Blaze in 2007’s Ghost Rider and its 2012 sequel. With Secret Wars built around realities smashing together, a Cage cameo feels plausible — but nothing is confirmed and Marvel hasn’t commented.
