Gosling is way beyond Star Wars and MCU b/c-tier slop at this point. Doesn't make sense at all.

The director for this Ghost Rider is the same one as Starfighter.

He's also come out and said that he wants to make family movies for his kids.

They are both desperate for a win so I’m sure he is being paid quite handsomely.

ETA: since nobody uses context clues around here, I was referring to the MCU and Star Wars, not Gosling.

So he chooses the skull headed semi-demon guy who has a soul problem?

Kevin Feige said in some interview yesterday that Gosling approached them with specific ideas for story from comics.

MCU desperately needed another lead with actual charisma

Outside of holland every lead character post-endgame has been kinda arse

Lmfao fans have been bitching about the lack of star power since endgame.

This makes perfect sense. I'm pretty sure gosling is around the same age as when Downey started playing Iron man.

I think, most importantly, he seems engaged and wants to do this project. He's invested.

This isn't just a vehicle/paycheck.

I disagree with the idea that Ghost Rider is lower tier.

Gosling is good in everything he does, and this is the director from Deadpool and Wolverine. I'm encouraged.

Is he the first already-established bonafide star to lead a new MCU movie?

Closest I can think of is Cumberbatch but I don't think his star power is in the same ballpark

The industry is making sure that it’s top-tier talent gets a crack at as many premier franchisees as possible now. That’s all this is, marketing and placement.

Wolverine/Deadpool was R and they hired the same director for Ghost Rider, I bet they’re going R.

I’m sure his kids will be able to handle it haha
