I’d leap to him being Ketch and Johnny pop up another time, Midnight Son’s, etc

Only if Eva Mendes plays Johnny's love interest again.

You say this as the most common fan casting for GR is Keanu Reeves

The funny thing is that the initial wave of MCU movies casted mostly people who were relatively unknown, aside from Robert Downey Jr, who was making a comeback after being a punchline for years. It might be an amusing exercise to do a recast of the phase 1 MCU movies but only using whoever the most popular actors of 2008-2012 were.

I honestly have no idea who I'd want to play Johnny blaze. It would be cool to see nic cage return but it doesn't sound like he wants to come back

if Cage were to come back, it’d be for a wink&nod cameo in Secret Wars

Ryan Reynolds tried to bring him back "one last time" for *DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE*, reuniting as many Fox-produced Marvel characters as possible. Alas, it didn't work out...

It's going to be Toyota Chevrolet or Austin Butler, and you'll like it.

If it's Austin butler I'm lighting myself on fire.... I'd do a better job then that shit bucket

Love how confident you are in your stupidity.

I'd like it to be like Sam Elliot's small role in it. A former ghost rider supporting the next in line. If Elliot is still around for it, it could be the three of them.

It could be a PERFECT cast as Ghost Rider 🔥

How? He’s not bad, but he’s not any better or worse than other actors.

I still want Gabriel Luna to return as the Robbie Reyes version from Agents of Shield but... I'm not the one who decides.

Gosling is awesome, Drive, The Nice Guys, Blade Runner, The Fall Guy. That’s some damn range.

I always kind of wanted Norman Reedus in the role
