This Spirit is certainly in need of some Vengeance! The rumor mill provides a heartbreaking update about Ghost Rider’s role in Avengers: Doomsday.
The earliest Avengers: Doomsday rumor to truly go viral was the report that Ghost Rider would be making his MCU debut in the film. While some speculated that this could mean that Nicolas Cage would be reprising his iconic role, all signs pointed to Marvel Studios casting a new Spirit of Vengeance for the highly anticipated project.
However, even as more and more granular details about Avengers: Doomsday began to hit the net, news about Ghost Rider was oddly silent. There were little to not updates about what his role would be in the upcoming project, nor was there even a hint that Marvel Studios cast someone in the role. This led some to worry that the anti-hero’s MCU debut may have been pushed back.
Is Ghost Rider In Avengers: Doomsday?
Fans finally have an update on Ghost Rider’s role in Avengers: Doomsday thanks to a rumor from DanielRPK. Sadly, it’s not looking good. The insider reveals that Marvel Studios DID intend to introduce Ghost Rider into the MCU with the upcoming film. However, as of the current cut, he’s seemingly been scrapped from the project.
“Even though they were looking to cast Ghost Rider for [Avengers: Doomsday], he’s not currently in the film, so I guess they changed their minds.”
While it may be a shame that such a beloved character was scrapped from Avengers: Doomsday, it may be for the best. The project is already packed to the gills with returning faces, plus a new face in Doctor Doom. Having Ghost Rider make his MCU debut in such a crowded project would have likely underplayed how amazing of a moment it will be. Saving it for another day will just make his eventual appearance all the sweeter.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in December 2026. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
