Summary
Sacha Baron Cohen is reportedly set to reprise Mephisto in Marvel’s 2028 Ghost Rider film, giving Ryan Gosling’s long-awaited MCU debut a major supernatural villain.
Shawn Levy will direct the movie, announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, while plot details remain scarce as Marvel stays focused on Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.
Mephisto last appeared in 2025 Disney+ series Ironheart, and his return revives a supernatural thread that had faded behind Marvel’s multiverse, cosmic and street-level storylines.
One report says Ghost Rider will already be established before his solo film, fueling speculation Gosling could first appear in Avengers: Secret Wars.
That setup also strengthens rumors of a Midnight Sons crossover, with Moon Knight and Werewolf by Night projects also reportedly in development.
