Norman Reedus Pushes for Ghost Rider Role in the MCU

The Walking Dead Star Has Long Championed the Fiery Anti-Hero


Summary

– Norman Reedus has openly expressed interest in playing Ghost Rider for years

– His experience with motorcycles and action roles makes him a strong fit

– Johnny Blaze is the best Ghost Rider version for Reedus in a future MCU film

Norman Reedus has never been shy about his desire to play Ghost Rider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While many fans have campaigned for Keanu Reeves to take the role, Reedus has actively voiced his interest, liking fan art on social media and making his case in interviews.

In 2021, Reedus told ComicBook.com, “I want to play Ghost Rider. I want a fire skull. I want my face to turn into a fire skull and whip a chain around.” His passion for the role, his love of motorcycles, and years of action-packed performances make him a compelling choice for the character.

The MCU has been slowly moving into supernatural territory with the introduction of Blade, making now the perfect time to reintroduce Ghost Rider. With the success of R-rated projects like Deadpool & Wolverine, a darker, grittier take on the character could finally become a reality.

If Reedus were to take on the role, the best version for him would likely be Johnny Blaze—the original and most recognizable Ghost Rider in Marvel Comics. Given his age and experience, he could portray a seasoned Blaze who has long lived with the curse, opening the door for future Ghost Riders like Danny Ketch to be introduced.

With Reedus continuing to push for the part, Marvel Studios has the perfect opportunity to bring him into the franchise. The question is—will they finally pull the trigger?
