San Diego [यूएस]July 27 (ANI): E! According to News, actress Eva Mendes celebrated her partner Ryan Gosling’s casting as Marvel’s ‘Ghost Rider’ with a heart-touching social media post. In this post, he also paid tribute to the film from where his love story began.
It was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Gosling will play Ghost Rider in an upcoming standalone film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). After this, Mendes expressed his excitement on Instagram with memories of the old days.
Eva Mendes congratulated in a special way
The actress reshared a fan-edited clip of the opening scene of the 2012 crime drama ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’. It was in this film that she and Gosling met for the first time. In the video, Gosling’s character, motorcycle stunt rider Luke Glanton, rides his motorcycle through a carnival, and the new Ghost Rider logo is edited into the footage. The fan edit read, “This introduction alone makes me think Ryan Gosling would be a great casting for the role of Ghost Rider.”
Sharing the clip, Mendes simply wrote, “Love, Roxy” in the caption. E! According to News, the caption seemed to be a reference to the character Roxanne Simpson, who Mendes played opposite Nicolas Cage in the 2007 film ‘Ghost Rider’. His reaction was a fun nod to both his past association with the superhero franchise and Gosling’s new chapter as the iconic Marvel anti-hero.
Mendes, who has two daughters with Gosling, Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 10, later reposted another fan-made montage showing the couple’s scenes from ‘The Place Beyond the Pines.’ In this edit, Gosling was described as “Ghost Rider in a parallel universe”. Thanking the creator, Mendes wrote that it highlighted “this beautiful parallel universe connection.”
The official announcement was made at Comic-Con
Gosling’s casting was officially unveiled by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige during Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. The actor, who has long been fans’ favorite choice to play the role of Ghost Rider, expressed his gratitude during the event.
Gosling told the audience, “Wow, is this really happening? As you know, this is a character I’ve wanted to play for a very long time. So, Kevin, Josh Horowitz, Hal H, thank you.”
The upcoming ‘Ghost Rider’ film will be Gosling’s second collaboration with director Shawn Levy after ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’. E! News, although plot details are still under wraps, Gosling is expected to play Johnny Blaze, the most famous incarnation of the supernatural Marvel character.
The casting also creates a unique connection for the couple, with Mendes previously starring in the 2007 ‘Ghost Rider’ film and now Gosling set to introduce the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (ANI)
