Ryan Gosling is said to be in talks with Kevin Feige to join the MCU

There’s a new rumor going around that says Ryan Gosling is in talks to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The two-time Oscar-nominated actor, fresh off his portrayal of Ken in Barbiethe biggest movie of the year, has his pick of roles these days, as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors, and he might just add Marvel to his list of upcoming projects.

According to insider Daniel Richtman (via Patreon/CBM), Gosling has met with the head of the MCU Kevin Feige regarding potentially coming aboard the MCU. The report doesn’t say the actor is officially in talks, and Richtman doesn’t mention any specific heroes or villains, but word is they may be discussing more than one character.

It’s just a rumor for now, but Gosling recently parted ways with Universal and Blumhouse The Wolf Man, to which he has been linked for over three years. This could be a coincidence, but it could also mean that Gosling walked away from the project because he agreed something with Marvel.

Gosling was one of many names rumored to be lined up to play Doctor Doom in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, but while he’s no longer attached to this one, he may be in talks to play a different character.

Gosling hasn’t seemed very excited about the prospect of playing a superhero or joining the MCU in previous interviews, though he has mentioned Ghost Rider as a character he might be interested in playing if the opportunity arises.

He also seemed to be a little more open to the idea while doing press for The Russo Bros.’ The Gray Man last year.

Gosling said of working with the Russos:

“I think they heard my Kenergy. They must have heard it before me. I hope they can manifest this MCU thing. I think it would be nice.

It really seems like Gosling has changed his tune. Which character would you like to see Ryan Gosling play in the MCU?
