Eva Mendes Reacts to Husband Ryan Gosling’s ‘Ghost Rider’ Casting
Ryan Gosling has been officially named as the new Ghost Rider, a revelation shared during Comic-Con 2026. The news sparked immediate excitement, including a public reaction from his wife, actress Eva Mendes.
Mendes posted a fan-made video to her Instagram Story that connected Gosling to the character, using footage from their 2012 film The Place Beyond the Pines. She playfully acknowledged the timing, noting that her own turn in the original 2007 Ghost Rider film makes this a full-circle moment for their family.
The upcoming project is set to be directed by Shawn Levy. It arrives over two decades after Mendes played the character Roxy alongside Nicolas Cage. She signaled her support for the casting, embracing the parallel universe connection fans created online.
While Mendes moved away from acting years ago to focus on raising their children, she remains a vocal supporter of her husband's career. The casting continues the trend of major Marvel announcements that dominated the weekend in San Diego.
